hi: you said that you didn't like the deal? why not? how does it affect you as a
customer? does it restrict your choice? does it make you have spend more? does
it force you to buy stuff that you wouldn't have normally? do you feel it makes
bad business for the producer?

please explain as i dont understand your logic.
