Capitalist pig.

The purpose of a business is to provide a useful product or service. If the
business is run intelligently and efficiently, the profit will usually follow.
Focusing solely on profit usually runs a business into the ground.

The point of the showrooms was to promote AR's image, and thereby _increase_
sales.

Again I disagree we are in business to make profit , other wise we call
it a hobby
