I think the point people are trying and failing to make is that asking for half of means sales is half of revenue not half of net and that you’re out of your goddamned mind if you think a store with razor thin margins would sell at a massive loss rather than just close due to connectivity problems.

Your responses imply that you think people are questioning whether you would lose money on the deal while we are instead saying you’ll get laughed out of the store, or possibly asked never to come back.

i'm not a businessman, just a computer nerd ( swe turned tech. consultant )

It seems like an easy problem to fix and a retail store being closed for a whole weekday because of inet access sounds crazy to me.
