However if I think she looks particularly sexy in some outfit,
I'll be sure to tell her. My reward is then that she will
wear it again.

It’s corporate policy to maximize profits to the shareholders. Good
customer service costs. The balance is reached and maintained: not so much CS
that it takes away from the bottom line, yet enough lip-service so as to keep
most of the customers from launching class-actions.

Customers don't need class action. They can stay away one at a time,
and tell a few other people to stay away.

Well, if you called it the Craftsman tower, nobody would dare be within a block of it. ;)

A pity. I remember when Craftsman tools were decent. I still have a set of their combination wrenches from almost 40 years ago--clunkier than Snap-On, for sure, but survived a lot of abuse.

It's not corporate policy (to maximize profits for shareholders). It's
federal law. Pissing off customers doesn't seem to be the right way
to go, though.

Like K-Mart's did.

They can pull a Donald Trump and rent out the Sears tower to business
clients at twice what the square footage is worth.

It's a goddamned shame the nation's power companies got 'privatized'.

Shitty, leaky insulators everywhere losing a lot of what gets
generated and a bunch of assholes running the show too goddamned stupid
to keep things in good order.

Kind of like you and your mind and body.

That would be a good trick, AlwaysWrong, because Sears hasn't owned
the building for a couple of decades. It's not even called the "Sears
Tower" anymore.

AlwaysWrong, the nation's power companies are (almost all) private
corporations. They didn't "get" privatized, they always were. They
all should be, moron. The government does such a good job of
everything.

We're all on the way down, AlwaysWrong. Well, except for you. You've
been brain-dead since birth.
