[QUOTE="Charlie Zureki, post: 35356, member: 153"] Re: Still no product?...RANT Hello JR. everything you posted is pretty much factual.....(although, in Michigan we have all of the National & Regional Hardware & Discount Lumber chains) we still have plenty of Mom & Pop owned stores. I'm guessing that it's probably true Nation-wide too. Come to think of it.....while there's plenty of Restaurants, Pizza Shops, Hair Salons, Auto Repair Centers, Convenience Stores, (7-11, Circle K) and Clothing Retailers, etc.... that are National or Regional Chains. Not all of these businesses and services have been pushed out by the National & Regional Chains, there's still a lot of self proprietors out there. Surely they must be competing against the big chains, even though their purchasing power is a pitance compared to the big guys. Sometimes it's not about the money....sometimes it's about the knuckle-heads that you DON'T have to speak to. I went to Best Buy yesterday...(another store that I dispise) to purchase a set of a cancelled TV Series for a gift. After checking the in-stock shelves and not finding the complete series, I made the mistake of allowing a store employee to "help" me. After ten minutes of his "learning" their computer system, followed by an additional 5 minutes of "help" from a supervisor (with constant interruptions from other customers...freaking rude ass people and Supervisor) ...I walked out of the Store...without any purchases. I can order this gift on the Web. Why do I need to speak to people that are less than stupid? Sure...it's Best Buy, maybe it's not these Employee's ultimate career goals, but, if they can't handle a simple task, what makes them believe that they can have a future anywhere else? (probably their love-blind parents) So...while we can discuss the International economics involved with the buying, selling, of Manufactured products.... I feel there's a more immediate problem of business etiquette, the TEACHING of business skills, and an emphasis on knowing the Products they're pushing. My goal as a customer, is to find the right product that best suits my needs, not necessarily the cheapest price, or the cheapest product. Hammer [/QUOTE]
