But then, that is your choice.
If you are both happy with the situation then that is fine.....but some businesses do not have the luxury of the choice you make.
Businesses are in business to make a profit(I know that may sound a strange concept)...and many of the small businesses are only just making ends meet.
Our town centre is a testament to this.
