As for how quick and easy it is, watch somebody do in less than 2 minutes what some shops would charge up to $60 for.

If I owned a shop I would likely have a minimum charge of roughly 1 hr ($60? shoprate). It's not really feasible to have an online business that caters to 2min jobs.

Small shops, like Don's, may do you a favor if you walk in and wait but it's not worth it for an online business.
