Standing in line at C.T.C. and the lady at the till counts out $12.00 in C.T.C. money, it's all in 5 and 10 cent bills, meanwhile their are six people waiting in line.I make the comment that even if the person miscounted and was 20 cents short is it worth it to tick off six other customers for the 20 cents? She glares at me, makes the sign of the cross and starts counting over.

Adny's gal Samantha loves to argue with retailers of any kind when she feels she is right. She was so upset yesterday because she didnt get to use her skills in this area. Andy's car battery died, it has a 3 year warranty and is only a year old...they took it back to Wal-mart...they said no problem, gave him a new battery with a new 3 year warranty and they were on their way. She was all set to get into a good 'fight' and nothing happened.<br />:-)Donna W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05019476423396804316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-59397921670282070692013-06-28T06:52:50.015-04:002013-06-28T06:52:50.015-04:00Having lived in a small village and operated my ow...Having lived in a small village and operated my own local restaurant for 10 years, I appreciate the small business and try to support them as much as possible, avoiding the large chains if possible.

The only good thing about them is their return policy, other than that WE try to support our fellow Americans (Canadian, USA & Mexico). Sad people don't understand or realize what they are giving up for a couple of bucks!<br /><br />rocmoc n AZ/Mexicoadirtsurferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01772255882176405139noreply@blogger.com
