That would include me :blushes:

Here is the problem. Far, far worse than these is things like diet supplements, which I sell.

I am unabashed in telling patients how terrible they are. I routinely ask people to look up homeopathy because I can see they don't believe me. Trust me when I say I don't like selling them and will tell everyone I see near them what I think of them.

However, if I don't offer these things, I lose customers permanently for other things who come looking for these things. If they leave feeling like they can't get what they are looking for, they likely won't come back.

That and I do not really control what I carry as per franchise agreement
