“Comparing us to a butcher or baker doesn’t really work because a leg of lamb doesn’t need a repair and a loaf of bread doesn’t need a reinstall. Our customers require upgrades, repairs, and technical assistance on a regular basis. This requires skilled staff who are expensive to train and difficult to retain,” he wrote.
