You tell them Glasman. Your dead on!
My new motto for a few years now is PUSH BACK. We do NOT have to take. I, for one, am willing to do without to get the mesaage across. Its not just to make a profit...its to make MORE profit.
..add in the fact that most of the junk is made as a ONE TIME use and then throw it away.
Let me vent...I had to put a Heli-Coil in my intake. I could not find my set. (Must have loaned it out!!) So, I buy a 3/8" set for $20 and bring it home. Well, using the handle to screw the helicoil down in the hole when all of a sudden the plastic handle started turning on the stem. Well, I ended up drilling a hole in it and then putting a roll pin in it just to finish my job. Well, Monday morning I'm taking it back and get my money back or raise heII and tell the BBB how I'm treated..... and of coarse thanking them for letting me fix the holes

PUSH BACK... We do NOT have to take.
And yes, I"ve ran my own business, I've been plant mgr at ocmpanies that built plants overseas. At the last company we were making OVER HALF A MILLION DOLLARS A WEEK and yet, they just had to go overseas..... now that company is running a skelton crew and will probably close a 50 year business here in the S.C. Yes, it was updated, kept up and a nice place. Good benefits and my entry level jobs were $12 an hour over 10 years ago....... NOW, who wants to argue with me thats it not GREED.
