[Hallicrafters] Hallicrafters SX-28A parts needed

[Mark Bell]

Horse crap.   I do NOT have to expect UPS to behave that way.
Give them a properly packed package, and I EXPECT them to
take reasonable and appropriate care of the article.

This kind of logic is why a very well know operating system can
sell missions of copies even though it has numerous known defects
and resets at the most inopportune times.
We have been desensitized to EXPECT software to naturally
have a lot of bugs.   I've been a professional software engineer
for over 20 years, and I do not EXPECT my customers to have
software that crashes.   Of course, we don't use THAT OS either.....

This kind of logic is why people accept smart allec comments from
the kids behind the Taco Bell counter.  If my boss demands I treat
my customers with courtesy and professionalism,  I see no reason
why I should not expect similar treatment from employees of other
companies, be it behind the burger counter, or handling my package.
