There's a new concept in retail now and it's not marking the prices and
about a
third of the items in a store. 
They've got better things to do then worry about such details. Time is
money.
If you ask them the price they say they'll be with you in a minute.
	When they're done with the next customer
	when they get off the phone
I think it's weird.
(Worse than people who tell you to "enjoy" without being specific but that's
another story.)
When you come to my house there are no marked prices on anything.
That's how you know you are not in a store.
But it's getting harder to tell.
