I went into an electrical white-goods shop once that used to advertise
heavily on radio how good their prices and service was- there wasn't a price
on ANY item in the (large) store. All the sales people carried round a large
(132 column paper) listing of prices. The only way to get a price was to ask
a saleperson- needless to say our stay in the shop was brief and there was
never a return trip! If they can't declare their prices openly for me to
browse without a sales person "hovering", they just don't get me as a
customer.
