How you purchase your goods is of no concern to us. How you SELL them is
what we are complaining about. I don't care if you buy them in kits,
individually, or in truckloads of kits. You can sell them to me one at a
fucking time, anything else is purely your choice.

No, it does not. Again, you are confusing the business choices you make
based on the things YOU are afraid of with some unstoppable, universal
force. Furthermore, in this example, you are penalising me for something
you imagine someone else might do. Jesus, count the number of variables
in THAT sentence...

No, it's not neccessary for me to see anything, it is neccessary for me
to find out which store will sell me what I want in the way I want.
The outcome of these decisions don't affect MY income, and while it could
be argued that if it affects YOUR income, then YOU need to understand MY
side of it, I really don't care if you reach the survival decision or not.
Speaking as a fellow business owner, you will enjoy increased earnings
when you stop blaiming and begin providing solutions that are better than
your competition's. Start understanding us, rather than asking us to
understand you.
We don't want to understand you, your business, or your problems, we want
burst discs.
