Reply #25: In my opinion, they are people selling a service [View All]

I have a difference of opinion.

They are no more entitled to know anything more than their customer wants to share with them. The person paying is the boss. As much as your car dealer service dept needs to know if you are getting work done at an independent place.

My mention of (licensed drug)dealers was directed at pharmacies, by the way. If a person wants to purchase a product, no need to persuade a middleman to permit you to have a business relationship with the pharmacy. Enough influence can buy laws that restrain trade, however.
