He's right, again.  This is getting tiresome.....

I've used similar techniques.  We have a local convenience store near my
home. Once upon a time, I managed to get my hands on several 20 pound blocks
of cheese.  All it needed was slicing.  I asked the guys at the store what
they would charge to slice the cheese for my non-profit educational group.
"Nothing, just give us a couple of hours, so we can continue to service our
customers".

Their competition has closed down.... I wonder why?  Partly because all my
purchaing is done at the store owned by "the nice guys".

BTW, for those that aren't up on butchery like Adamantius:
