your supplier must be stocking from cheaper outside sources

Menard's.

I didn't look for a C.O.O., and don't care, anyway-just thought it was curious.

You need to get outside the Beltway more often.
Latin/Hispanic (are these terms interchangable?) influence is huge and growing fast.
-I just got an email from Comcast announcing a new, all-Spanish edition of their webportal...
-In the past year three check cashing businesses have opened in a five block stretch of Broadway. They all advertise money transfers to Mexico...apparently immigrants don't have access to real banks and like to send money home.

You can't drive around Denver and hear all the mariachi music blaring and conclude that "Latino influence" is small...

Oh gawd...

Dude I was on this forum talking about the same thing (Hispanic influence on the market), so you aren't telling me something new.

We have Hispanic dominated areas like Langley Park, Spanish packages on digitial cable, certain links in restaurant chains that only have Spanish folk, blahblahblah..... Oh and that's all inside the Beltway....I made complaints about all of them learning the language ffs.

However.....with all the catering to that demographic by market forces, how many of it has jumped over culture boundaries? :ermm:

Example: Black American influence is much larger yet we are a smaller minority.

Do you think that your greater "time-in-residence" has had anything at all to do with it?

Absolutely. Also knowing fucking English helped out alot.

In Virginia, some are pushing for tax-payer funded day laborer centers...but I've said that before.....

I take it that would be where immigrant labourers turn up for casual work

I think Black America puts up a bigger "bitch" then the Spanish/Latin Americans.
