It's not all a rip-off scheme, there are other costs that factor in. Tools, building rent, utilities, license fees, taxes, wages, and so on. Depending on where you are, some of those costs can be quite different. Don't go painting everyone with such a broad brush.

No, I'm too ignorant to understand what man-hours means. That notwithstanding, if he's the ONLY guy in the shop how could there be more than ONE man-hour each hour? Enlighten me, as my ignorance is obviously very broad.
Oh, and as far as shop costs like rent or mortgage and insurance...that should all be built into the cost of ONE hour's labor rate. If it's not, then a sign should be posted stating that there will be an additional charge to the customer so that they may help pay those costs.
I don't go to Macy's and purchase a shirt for the price stated on the tag and expect to get hit with an extra bill for electricity at the register.
