I don't understand Jim's deal. He wanted to charge our protagonist MORE money per bulb than he would charge someone buying less garlic? Why?
Was it a deeply shortsighted, cynical attempt to turn a quick buck? Was Jim weirded out by the dynamic forming with TokyoSunbather and was trying to put some distance between them? Was there some sort of subtle dynamic occurring where TokyoSunbather would take the best bulbs and leave only shitty ones behind, and that was causing subsequent customers to perceive Jim's stock as low-quality, thereby negatively affecting his reputation?
I don't understand. Something is missing. TokyoSunbather is either holding something back, or is overlooking a key detail. Either way I want to know. It doesn't make sense. Jim doesn't make sense. What is the missing piece I need to know.
Does the 60% mean he was buying 60% of ALL of Jim's garlic? That would be pretty annoying, to have someone clean you every week and have none for other customers. Obviously selling all your stock is great, but everyone else needs some too.
60% seems pretty good though? Like 40% for everyone else still sounds like alot of garlic to go around.
I think it's saying they settled on 60%, I'm guessing that means it was all of it before.
