There's a difference between existing to take care of your users and existing to bleed as much money as you can out of your users.

Being a business doesn't imply that you are exclusively trying to bleed your consumers dry of money. Some businesses do that, true, but not all do that. Most businesses that work with the local one I was discussing definitely don't feel ripped off in any way.

That being said, I agree that a coop would be a better organizational structure and less likely to bleed you dry.
