All true. You have to remember that a radio to a non-collector is a lump
of junk. They view it as something that can maybe be converted into some
$$. Obviously, the more the better, but they simly don't know that if it
has something stamped on it, the stamp could turn a $20 item into a $500
item. However, going on the odds, it most likely won't.

Same thing applies to stores, banks, and any other business.

Do you really think MacDonalds, Bank of America, Verizon, Microsoft, or
Walmarts REALLY gives a rat's ass about your business? Sure, they don't
want you falling and suing them, but if you are dissatisfied, tough
nuggies. They have legions of flak catchers to give the APPEARANCE of
concern, but in reality NOTHING ever happens. INDIVIDUALS DON'T MATTER in
today's world. As they say, LIVE WITH IT.
