Yargh and glee

The landlords are still being butts about the cat. They seem to have no provision at all for somebody having one cat die, or otherwise be lost, and getting a second one. I was told that this situation was "not normal" and that they had no paperwork for it, and would have to type something up. Which would take them until tomorrow, of course. (Because, you see, we'd be planning on having Rosie, JJ's cat, over here, and then decided to get a new cat isntead.)

How hard is it to type up, "no longer has X cat, now getting Y cat?" I mean sheesh!

In good news though, I was contacted by the Windstone folks about being a dealer, and it looks like we're go! Now I just have to try and get a second table at FC, and attempt to get one for AC as well. Whee...

N) Ahh. Got it (also: good).

*considers for a few moments, reevaluating part of the matter as a result of the 'competition' line of thought* Why do they mind what prices the Windstones are sold at? If the dealers buy the Windstones from the maker/s at the same price no matter what, then doesn't the price sold at on the open market only affect the dealer's profit margin? (Attempting to keep prices high doesn't clearly make sense if they're willing to sell Windstones through dealers (at all) for a given price.)

It has to do with their desire to support the small local retailer. A large chain chan afford to have a smaller per item profit margin, but a small business cannot. So they fix the price to favor small business.

Which is fine by me!

N) Ahhh. Got it. *nods* Thank you for the information!
