    Some retailers apparently feel this concealed-price tactic is a way
    of assessing a customer's budget limitations, perhaps by watching
    customer's reaction as the news is delivered. I think not. Let the
    customer do that work for you ( in privacy) and you won't have to act
    rudely, as though your time is far too valuable to waste upon those
    few of us out here who carry less in our jeans than Sir Thomas.
    Besides, if your time is too valuable to waste on looky-loos, how
    come you have time to answer questions like "How much is that one?"
    followed by "What about that other one?" ad infinitum. That could
    take aLL AFTERNOON. 

    The first thing I thought when I read the above was, some people
    should not go shopping. Seems like to much of a challenge and would
    be quite tiring having all those desperate thoughts banging around.
    Most of the people who I know are in jewelry retail are generous,
    kind, patient people who are there to help the customer. I do not
    know where you people are meeting these mean people, but maybe when
    you go shopping, take your mommie or daddy with you to protect you.
