[QUOTE="Brewdude, post: 155313, member: 1723"] B&M's exist on overhead + markup. It's a fixed cost they need to survive. Pay up or shut up is the attitude I've adopted. It is what it is. Used to have a way great B&M near me. They had a smoking lounge with big screen TV, fine stereo, overstuffed leather furniture, beer and wine, good food, coffee and espresso, a very fine smoke removal system, and let one sample bowls of 'baccy at n/c. Yes, their price for all this exceeded the on-line costs but I gave them as much business as I could to help them survive. Made a lot of good friends there too as it was a meeting place for the brothers of the leaf. Sadly, they closed due to punitive taxation in our state as well as competition on the web. They are missed to this day. A class act in all respects! Man, if you have a good B&M I'd say support it in whatever way you can. Tomorrow they may be gone. Cheers, RR :| [/QUOTE]
