How about the other side and ask the store owners if they ever offered such?

I own a small store, Houston Band, in Houston,TX. I do repairs and sell more Vandoren reeds than I care to think about, but still prefer brass repairs.

I have been asked to give a director from $100 to $500 depending on the bid, have been asked to do personal repairs on school district purchase orders (but hidden in the bid monies), and been asked to give extra special pricing for doing business with the director.

Are these unusual to just this area?

I invite other store owners to comment.
