Remember the days when companies used to actually be thankful for your business? I remember when I used to walk into a store, and be promptly greeted by an associate, and asked if I needed any assistance. Now, I walk into a store and it seems like employees run, or that I am wasting their time by asking for help. HAVE WE ALLOWED CUSTOMER SERVICE TO GO OUT THE WINDOW? My answer: YES! When we continue to support these companies by spending our money on their products and services, yet we continue to be mistreated, we are playing into the notion that some of these companies have, that they are invincible. WRONG! We are in a recession. This is a time for rebirth. The companies that have been taking advantage of consumers are going to fall off, while companies that continue to help consumers by giving discounts, having good customer service, and by giving back to the communities will prosper. Lets make sure that we do our part by supporting the good companies and refuel the economy by spending our money wisely. Money is tight these days, don't just spend it anywhere. If you can help it, spend it in places that have a great reputation for helping others as well as helping you! (Starbucks, Target, Old Navy, GAP, ect.)

This is very true. We are now in an era where we will have to be tight with our spending and the best thing that we can do with our money as consumers is to invest our money with retail stores that have great reputations and the ability to keep their loyal customers coming back. You got to spend money to make money.
