I get that- the fact that you created this thread says enough about your character for it not to be a real issue, imo. I'm speaking to the abstract scenario IN PRINCIPLE as a simple matter of property rights and privacy. The objection is to other posters making all kinds of accusations about the character of the shop owner and the nature of his business. Posters presuming him a "Rip-off artist" because they may have had a bad experience somewhere else in the past is my main objection.
I completely agree with you there. Nobody aside from the actors in the transaction knows the intent of the shopowner or anyone involved. It ended up good for all parties it seems to me.
I enjoyed reading the various responses though, just for the philosophical discussion, but to make assumptions about the motives of each person involved, ulterior or innocent is not right.
