The IGA could afford to sell my milk cheaper. The lawn-care guy could afford to mow my lawn for a buck less. The car dealer could have afforded to give me a better price on my car. Aside from the fact that Amazon can't choose to sell Big-5 published books for any less than they do, what was the point? That businesses are somehow obligated to operate on the absolute slimmest margins possible? That consumers are somehow entitled to buy whatever they desire for whatever price they deem reasonable?
