It's perfectly fine to ask a small business for a discount. It's perfectly fine to ask a small business for prices and decide if it is or isn't a good fit for you.
When it comes to necessary services, like for example, plumbing or medical care and so on, I do believe there should be prices based on industry standards.
But when it comes to handmade accessories, which you would only buy because you truly want them deeply, it is absolutely not fine to tell a business how much they should charge, compare their works to the works of others who charge cheaper or tell them how much their work and time should be worth.
I do not need to justify my costs to anyone more than any luxury multi billion brand does, and if they would have valued their work lower then they would have never become what they are today.
Respect small businesses or you would be enforcing a reality with no possibility for creatives to grow.
Love, a small business owner, who by the way, is completely happy to offer 50 percent off only to Mastodon with the code MASTODONFRIENDS as a thank you for the amazing support of the Mastodon community in small businesses 😊❤️
