They charge 3 to 5 prices for no better quality than i am getting. Aluminum
components ins SS pots and pans are very visible (if you look). No surprise
Al content (normally none) in what i buy. Try shopping at restaurant supply
houses.

Aluminum is usually (sometimes it's used instead of copper in the laminate)
visible, but it is there in a lot of cheaper pots. Cheaper pots aren't
laminated nearly as well. Restaraunt supply houses aren't usually open to the
public.

Where's the logic in that? Hoping to please their restaurant clients by
presuming you'll go out to eat more often if you can't buy quality pans?

They're throwing away a potential lucrative market IMHO.

How? How many families need what they sell, VS the problems of
having stock damaged by kids or idiots? Returns made by people who
don't know what they are buying?

There are some that are open to the public, like this in Ocala, Fl.

We all know what an opinion is worth.

They're not prepared to collect sales tax. Tax-ID required.

Customers not worth having, in their business model.
