Yes, it's narrow, but customers are entitled to any degree of exclusivity
they like.  When I worked part-time in a record store, my task was to
try to satisfy the potential buyer.  So, I always attempted to put myself
into the buyer's mind-set concerning preferences.

The only attitude on the part of buyers that irked me was when they were
in a big rush.  Being self-absorbed, they felt that the 'hired-help'
would naturally speed up to accomodate them.  They also likely had the
'fast-food' mentality.  Oh well, they were simply obnoxious folks who
must be hell to live with.
