I couldn't have said it better myself. I've been so frusrtated with the chains
that I don't even try to sell to them anymore. They say they want me local
produce and then harvest comes and I'm told, "we can get it cheaper form the
warehouse. Would you be able to come down to the warehouse price?" I have
made it a practice to "just say no". I still have one chain (36 stores) that
has treated me well, but that is the exception.
