I know, you would do better if you didn't charge at all.

Wouldn't be able to buy Ken's lunch at the next Massachusetts G2G.

There are a few small guys in the area that have pretty good reputations...this guy is the only one with a store front if you don't count Staples. This guy has 4 shops within 50 miles or so.

We have a decent Main St...not a whole lot of crime...safe to walk all day and into the early evening. The Mayor just got rid of a homeless encampment on the town common...had about 20 tents there. There was at least 1 family with 2 youngsters.
