Me too. On the one hand, if we do not support local businesses, there won't be any. But on the other hand, people cannot support local businesses if their prices are ridiculous. Perfect example. My wife sews and knits a lot. She found a neat floor lamp just for that purpose by a company called Otto. Their price was $229 (plus about $20 sales tax = $249). I found it online for $159 free shipping no tax. I went to the local store and said, "I realize you might not be able to sell it for that price, and I would like to support a local business, but can you work with me at least a little. Otherwise I am going to have to go with saving $90." The answer was NO.
