no "profits" here


I must say, the quotation marks here are less eerie than the coercive/comforting tone of the note. Feel free to spend your meager funds here all the time. Thanks... (and thanks for the submission, Amber.)

I think that's an appropriate use of quotation marks. They probably raised prices so that they could "lower" them to more than they were prior to the price hike.

I do find it oddly comforting.

Well, prices, I suppose, could be said to be greater of lesser, whereas low (or high) could be considered a description of height. So they may be saying that the prices could be listed closer to the ground.

I do find the whole note very confusing. Was there a time when people weren't invited to come often? How high did the prices used to be, since they were so intimidating?
