This is an issue for me as I would prefer not to get my training LDS all pissed off at me. I have no issues with their training and would continue to go back. I've asked for deals on equipment, but even with a discount, their prices are still higher than the regular prices at other LDSs.
For example, I priced out an AL80 at the training LDS and the LDS I've been buying equipment from and after all applicable discounts (on both sides) and taxes, the price difference is almost $100. This is on something that normally costs in the range of $200 (give or take).
If a business gets mad at a customer for buying from somewhere else, screw them. It's absolutely insane to think that you should spend more money on something or get what you don't want because you think the retailer will get upset. I can't even fathom that.
