What the hell is going on with shops?

It sounds more like people don't like it when someone makes a profit on them. GOD forbid they find out the shop buys a part for less than they charged the customer for. Then all of a sudden it's a RIP-OFF!! RIP-OFF!! But then when it comes to what they do it's a whole different thing. Then it's "I gotta make a living don't I?" Funny how many of us shop owners, who provide a place for others to make a living too, live for free. We don't need a paycheck to buy our food or pay rent.
But the cheap people of the world will never get it! They are never satasfied when it's done cheap because it's done 1/2 assed & they don't see a value in having it done right by experts because it cost a little more. So I do't even bother with them. I price things out fairly & honestly. If it's too much for some- oh well. So be it! I'm not the most expensive guy around but I won't be the cheapest around either. I also stand behind my work as good as or better than any others. I lose a lot of sleep at night being in business for myself, but never because I ripped someone off or because of what I charge.
I've always found the guy who is always looking for a special deal or bitches about everyone else is a guy you don't want to work for or hire to do something for you because he is the 1st guy to pull tricks to cut corners & line his pockets better.
You know, sometimes(most of the time) prices for services are driven NOT by what the market will bear as much as what's required to cover expenses & yes make a little profit. If the company you work for doesn't make a profit then you're out of a job!

Please pardon my rant!
