I feel like ranting some more...

Just why is it certain shops think that we have no idea what they pay for livestock? 2 weeks ago I had a shop telling me how expensive a fish was, but yet, I can look on various wholesalers price lists, transshipers price lists, and exporters price lists, and see that it's priced the same by species - but they wanted 80$, not 40$ like the other members of that species that arrived with that shipment. Needless to say, I haven't gone back to that retailer since, and won't in the future.

Wholesale pricing isn't secret, it only takes minutes online looking in the right places to find out what the real price was (albeit, not including shipping, permits etc). Why even risk ****ing off a customer simply for a few extra dollars on a single animal? Yes there is some supply/demand at work, but doubling the price simply because someone asked "how much?"?
