Just a quickie note, Steve...as for vendor discounts...two schools of
thought. You owe no one nothing. When asked about vendor discounts, I
always replied, "I can't keep up with who is and isn't a vendor, nor can I
keep up with the discounts. It's much easier to stick with one price for
everyone, since the produce I sell discounted is grown the exact same way as
full price produce--which is already a bargain at any price." This usually
ran off a couple of vendors, but most respected my "no discount" policy.
And it was much easier than that nagging feeling of being ripped off.

Otoh, vendors can be your staunchest supporters & promoters...just something
to consider.
