The Tour

 

At one point during the tour I asked to see their system.

That Sir, is proprietary.

What do you mean?

It means we don’t want anyone out there doing the same thing we are doing.

Why not?

Because they could figure out how to do it cheaper and then charge less for the product.  We would lose sales.

Can’t you figure out how to do it cheaper?

Why should we compete with ourselves?

So you could lower your price and then sell more.  You’d have a larger audience. You’d make more money.

We believe if we keep the price high people will think they are getting a high- quality product.

Is it a high-quality product?

Not really.

Then why do you give these tours?  What is it you are so proud of?

We make a small fortune at the gift shop.  It’s where this tour ends up.
