I agree with you up to a point - it is obviously what the market will bear, but that doesn't make it right. You have 80,000 retirees, an aging community where a certain percentage have trouble driving a car, and so take golf carts, etc., and they're taking advantage to make even more money than they normally would. I'm not blasting the stores, I guess I'm blasting Morse. His cut is what is behind all this. If he was just taking a small percentage it would be one thing, but from what everyone is saying, it is much more than that. I'm not in a situation where it affects me financially i.e. I'm not a coupon clipper either, but the principle of the thing bothers me, just saying. I don't like to be taken advantage of.
