Original Commentary
After last time, I wanted there to be a meeting where they were 100% prepared, and it didn't matter. I had originally considered having the "big client leaves" be a separate storyline. Then I realized it'd be a lot more interesting if it happened about now. So here we are, in the middle of business adventure.-Terrence

Modern Commentary
This is inspired by Walmart, who can make up a large enough portion of a company's business that they can exert a significant influence. Vlasic was, famously, in a situation a few years back where they were selling a gallon of pickles for $3 there. This was more-or-less at cost, cannibalized their business, and took up most of their production capacity. But also, they couldn't afford to lose Walmart as a retailer. - Terrence
