The shop is smaller and catering for a small number of people - it's a
lack of cheapness of large quantities (there's a better phrase for this).


I am rather bored with this now, but I have been involved with small
business retail all my life and I can tell you that 1,000% mark-ups are
never necessary. This is 'charging what you can get away with', also

a local monopoly made possible indirectly by the customers' disability
and age.
