These were all excellent points, and I agree with the ideas behind them. I
believe, however, that my original point still stands. This was merely that,
when faced with paying $7.00 / bottle for a particular sauce I enjoy, at the only
(even remotely) nearby hot shop (which is more of a "boutique" shop), vs.
ordering direct from the manufacturer via their website at $3.00 / bottle...
Well, I think you see my point. In this case the only one "suffering" is the
shop, which has always seemed a little pricey to begin with; and seems to be
doing just fine. If the shop hadn't just recently moved to a larger / nicer
facility (and increased it's inventory), and seemed to be struggling, then sure I
would try to eat the $ myself to help them out. But this is not the case here.
In fact, as I mentioned, I still buy other items there that are not so readily
available online. But in this case, the manufacturer is still getting my
business; we're just changing the middle man to UPS.
