I don't live in your area, but I agree with you. Customers should not
have to pay for the store's extended phone bills. There's this thing
in business called overhead or the cost of doing business. You don't
raise the price of one item to offset bills incurred from problems with
a supplier. You chalk it up to overhead. If the product is essential,
you eat the cost as long as it is within the bounds of a previously 
budgeted 'overhead' figure. If it doesn't then don't carry the
product until you can get it without the extra phone bills.
This is a gouge.
