That 33% would be a very conservative number, speaking as a retailer that
bought soft plastics at wholesale and sold them retail. GY is the MFG that
sells direct. Welcome to the U.S.A. and the American Dream. All the
fishing related product's selling prices could be cut in half and the MFG,
Wholesalers, and Retailers could still make a fair profit. That won't
happen and why should it when you and I are willing to pay higher prices.

It's all about supply and demand, and the demand for fishing products is
high. So why not jack the prices through the roof and make a ton while the
"Getting It" is good. Because next year, it could all dry up and fade away.

per gallon then the guy a 1/2 mile away. Supply and demand dictate.

I passed through Page last summer with intentions of visiting the Yamamoto
operation just for fun. A young woman at the airport told me how she used to
work at their plant, she called it a sweat-shop, said she was glad to be out
of there. I don't know if it really is, but I decided to skip the visit
after meeting her.

I still like and use their baits.

LOL, I don't know if I would necessarily take that as the definitive answer
for working conditions at Yamamoto lures. It seems that many young people
today take offense when asked to actually produce 8 hours of work for 8
hours of pay!

No kidding. If I had heard that from a current employee I might be more
inclined pay attention. I think I would have asked if she quit or was let
go.

The problem isnt that us young people dont like doing 8 hours of work for 8
hours of pay. Its the fact that those 8 hours of pay cant buy a sandwhich. When
you spend half of your pay check every week just paying for lunch at work, and
cant make enough money to pay for anything, it gets tough to enjoy working.

But thats okay, cuz I finished college, and now have a real job. And make plenty
of money. But I know how much it sucks to work for almost minimum wage in this
world of big business price gouging.

if you are working for minimum wage, you are buying way too expensive
sandwiches. I always carried my lunch from home when I worked for minimum wage
- and it was $1.60 back then.
