Yet some of us only go Chinese as a last resort, or when there's a beautiful talented Miki discovered in a corner of Lachine - though that sooner or later yields to greed.
I'd rather go to Futureshop's more expensive future parlour less often but be more likely to be satisfied by MPs who feel appreciated and so make their clients feel that way too. Not that long ago, before the biz became so high profile, you could find places like that, usually just out of the limelight.
Something to be said for quality and stability, both for MPs and for hobbyists, no? It's cheaper, more remunerative and less stressful for everyone in the long run. And the temptation to join the race to the bottom is so strong that if Futureshop holds to his principles, he won't have very many competitors...
(Can't blame a guy for angling for a prospective discount lifetime membership from Futureshop, can you?
