Well ok I agree that if there is a grocery list of nickel-and-dime add-ons, they should be displaying a sign so everyone expects them at the counter. That is just good common business sense (not that there is an excess of rocket scientists in the yard biz, granted).
However, my sympathy is slightly lessened by the nirvana of what you guys have available in PnPs.
In my area the only import-stocked PnP is only open 8-5 Monday to Friday, and the owner is too cheap to even properly gravel the lot (forget paving), so it is like a scene from a First World War battlefield much of the fall and spring.
And it operates on the "hold your breath as you reach the counter" pricing methodology. So depending on mood, the weather, etc., etc. the results can be anywhere from "Hey great, thanks!" to "YOU WANT ME TO PAY WHAT?" on pricing.
We do have a new chain that recently opened, with posted make-independent pricing (yes!), but anytime a Benz appears it's devoured immediately like a steak in a pirhana pool.....
