What if you browse, like the product, flick to the back and see the outrageous pricetag?

I don't mind supporting local shops, what I have an issue with is being charged well above what can be bought elsewhere (in some cases 150% markup), then get served by a pimple-faced kid with bad attitude treating you like you're an inconvenience to his mobile phone sms sending time.

A few weeks ago I bought the latest Wheel of Time. Was $39.95 in the local bookstore. Walked one block away to KMart and there is was, $21.99, same copy.
