If everyone conducted business like Charter or Frontiernet

If everyone conducted business like Charter or Frontiernet

If McDonalds conducted business like Charter they would give you the subtotal at the drive thru, then tell you the total after tax and service fees once you got up to the pickup window after having already paid the subtotal at the first window.

If Burger King conducted business like Frontiernet the Whopper would only have what they felt like putting on it, and the patty would be up to 1/4 lb, but as long as it was at least 1/16 lb you would be getting a Whopper.

If JCPenny conducted business like Frontiernet, they would talk to you like an idiot when you tell them their lights in the dressing room keeping turning off and on and making funny noises. And then they would tell you that's there's nothing wrong on their end, and you should close your eyes and then open them again and that should turn the lights back on.

If Value City conducted business like Charter, they would tell you that you can't return those jeans simply because they don't fit, as you should have tried them on before you bought them. After you pointed out there was no way to try them on in their store, they tell you that you should know what size you wear. After you tell them all your other 32's [ahem, or 42's] fit just fine, they say that a technician will need to check them out while you're wearing them. When the technician sees you wearing the jeans without the top botton closed, and the redness it your face, he asks "What's wrong with them?". After telling him they don't fit he says "Looks fine to me". Then when you finally get someone in charge to acknowledge the jeans really don't fit, they tell you that you've had them too long, and your time period for return ended five minutes ago.

just a few I thought of...didn't get them all down, and now I'm off to plug in some new toys that came in the "mail" today.

Modern (big) business pratices are sad to say the least. When all the big guys do it, the little guys feel ok about it too....everything becomes relative and everyone just makes up his own rules....as long as they can point to someone doing worse..they feel justified.
