you obviously don't own your own store. Yes some of the stuff is marked up more then 50% but I am in the retail business and I know what some stuff is. I work in the restaraunt business and my wife is in the furniture business and in order to make a profit after you pay all your over head, rent, payroll taxes ect. sometimes you can go over the 50% mark up. You must not understand the costs involved with a business. An example a dish that cost 2.00 to make we sell for 10.00. That might sound like a lot but generally it is not always the case but pretty close. But in the end the company makes maybe 2% after all the bills are payed. Please don't bash the LPS before you understand all the facts. Sure some of them dont exercise good practices but they would be out of business very soon in this economy if that were true. My dad is a Marine and owns this store too so give him some respect and stop the bashing. Thanks
