1. What business product or service are you looking for in somd?

2. Have you found an alternative and how difficult was it to find?

3. What would it mean to you if someone offered the it to you?


I'd have to say
1. Another phone provider other than comcast.

2. Nope

3. I'd switch tomorrow.

1. A pediatrician that accepts both new patients and my insurance.

2. Family doctor instead of traditional pediatrician, and yes.

3. Better care for my kids. Hard to get more important than that.

You know, we as a society are screwing ourselves when it comes to 'bricks & mortar' stores. Most shop on the internet now to save a few bucks, but not after 1st going to a physical location to touch and feel the product, and question the sales people. Businesses can not make money like this. I just read that Best Buy is in trouble because of this. I feel obligated to buy if I have taken someone's time to learn what they know.

Dysons in Great Mills is a nice store (kind of like a mini Lowes)

Isn't there a bakery in Wildewood? Maybe it went out of beez wax.

I'd love to give my business to Lowes and not the internet, but they don't sell the cordless tools I like (and are pretty much married to).. and I don't know how many time I've been there and they've said..
"Nope, we don't have that, you should check a hardware store!!"

To which I just look them in the eye and without saying a word telepathically transmit.. "REALLY? Where the hell AM I??"

I found one hardware store that does sell Makita, and they had one corded 10 inch cirucular saw on the shelf.. NO cordless, let alone the 18v Li_Ion I'm looking for.. TOOLKING.com ALWAYS has them, and usually just the bare tools (how many chargers and batteries do you need!??) For a bare tool, you can pay as little as 25% of the retail price of the tool, charger battery and a case..
