The simple cure for people getting upset about our profit is to point out that, in general, furniture sells at two times its cost.
When people start yapping about profit, I ask if they save money. When they say that they do, I ask if there's any real difference between them saving money and me making a profit- both require spending less than the income. It comes down to "It's more important for you to save a few bucks than for me to stay in business?". They may be able to consider our cost of doing business, but they would be surprised by it.
If I ever hear "Yes" to that question, I'm gonna leave a vapor trail as I leave.
