The cost-plus pricing strategy! Besides Cuban's Cost Plus Drugs, haven't encountered it much at all. Hope you start a trend.

Is it just me, or is "cost plus drugs" a horrible name?

I know they probably intend it as "[Cost-plus] drugs", but I can't help but read it as "I'll do the job for you for the material cost, plus some drugs".

This chain dropped the “cost plus“: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Market_(store)

But “Drugs” wouldn’t be perfect…

Anyway no but now that you mention it maybe it’s too wonky of a name. Nothing better coming to the top of my head right now.
