.....but it is the only thing we, as consumers and customers can do....we can go elsewhere and as we change our purchasing choice to another business, we can let the old place know exactly why.....Sometimes they "get it".... We can also share information on poor choices in vendors....I have a few chains of businesses that have done wrong to me and to acquaintences that I now go out of my way to talk bad about....When someone mentions they are going to buy some_______, I can say with personal experience, "don't go to _____ for that, they are not the best choice".... I only do this after giving the vendors a few chances to do right, after having very bad work done, after being 'blown-off' rather than having my issues addressed fairly..Rather than earning my endorsement, they earned my animosity by treating me poorly as a customer.... Poor customer service and poor retail practices eventually will catch up with the worst businesses... if we all pay attention and share information and get back to the managers or the CEOs of these places when we get 'taken'...
