I have had enough. After another wonderful day at work, I have had enough! I have three accounts since last Friday that have shown me little to no loyalty. The account on Friday upsets me about as much as any of them. I saved the SOB $80,000 in the past three years. He left me for a competitor that was less than 10% of my price. Now I know 10% in this economy is quite a bit of money. I would agree 100%. However, the cost of this coverage is spread amongst 100 other people. We are talking a few dollars to do the right thing in a business relationship. Today I had another instance of lack of respect and loyalty. I am currently fighting on another one.
My little story is not mean to beg the masses for pity. It was just another example of the downfall of our society. This leadership of this great country, our leaders of business, even the clergy live their collective lives with less and less commitment to do the right thing. How can we ask the man next to us, our children, or even other countries to do what is right? It is time for each and every one of us to step up and do the little things to continue the greatness of this country. Do me a favor and just live tomorrow the way that you would if your grandma was watching you.

Pete, you inspire me! Tomorrow Im going into my local mom and pop store instead of walmart to buy my petroleum jelly. I will try and bridge the gap between me and my local businesses. "A pebble dropped into a small stream is capable of sending ripples that can reach the ocean"
