You know you are right, gone are the days of treating your customers poorly
and expect them to come back because you are the only game in town.

A list vendor was selling shirts... I responded 2x wanting to buy one...No
response either time. Why I responded the second time is beyond me but
needless to say there will not be a chance in a million that I will do
business with them again.

Nobody is perfect, I am quite aware of that in myself as well, but I am not
in the business of selling, I am in the business of buying and I go for
service followed by price, and then service again

By the way I have had very good service from 2 of the other vendors on the
list that I have purchased items from and owning a vanagon, you all know how
many times that can be.

no rant and I have not even run out of gas, well almost. Sure do miss the
gas indicator light from the late model cars. I had gotten really spoiled
since owning split window singelcabs without a gas gauge.
