There is such a thing as
too demanding a consumer. When that happens, business often say, "Screw it. I'm finding new customers, or I'm selling something else."
This puts consumers in a hard position: Continue to be
uber-demanding, and watch the product you want to up in smoke. If the business disappears one night, the consumer has to take
some blame for being too much of a pain in the @$$ for the business to bother with. But whether they assume some blame or not, essentially both sides lose.
