These owners were just about gouging their customers. This was hardly a situation like a small business that has to charge more to make the profit margin.

Your post is more aligned with Heath's and the small businesses that you mentioned. I am all for patronizing the little guy. I was a huge patron of Pier 19 in Tuftonboro even though the prices were high. Unfortunately they couldn't make it work and had to shut down for good.
You worded that very nicely. Especially the parts about what JS does/did vs. small, local business that need to charge a bit more simply to survive.

I will miss the convenience of their (JS) location though. Miss it a lot...
