    In this day and age, if the issue of whether a price tag is
    displayed where you can read it, or trying to assume what the message
    or meaning of a hidden tag is is one of the issues you think
    confronts us at this point in our history, I envy you. If the lack of
    understanding shoppers have and the attitudes displayed about how
    some of you feel about prices not being shown shows to me how bigger
    more important issues are not being dealt with in favor of gnat
    issues. 20 years of retail and I have not had issues or problems
    with customers not asking for prices. We have an average of a sale to
    80% of walk in customes. Thank God we are attracting the type of
    customers who apparently do not play games or assume we do. 

    The priority we should have with issues of lack of health care and
    education going down hill would seem to require more attention. If
    you think that I implying that people who have issues about price
    tags are petty I am stating it. Get over yourselves. All of the
    reasons for why price tags should be shown have been selfish and
    self-centered thinking. If you think I am the only retailer who feels
    this way, you are wrong. 

    Try pretending that retailers have good intentions, and that you do,
    see how that feels.
