Ya know what Neal you have absolutely no reason to feel guilty. The fact that you posted telling people why you were increasing your prices just shows that you are an honest retailer. It also indicates how closely you are holding the margin on markup of your products. Any retailer that says they will take a loss to their bottom line because of theft is either not dealing in reality or is soon to be filing bankrupcy. For those that don't want to pay a 10% theft markup to help out a fellow who is offering quality products at a price that can't be found anywhere else in Alberta - one word - DON'T. Go and shop at one of the wonderful Edmonton shops and just tell yourself you are getting a good deal and there is nothing included in the price that reflects that businesses do suffer losses because of theft.
