Some unenlightened manager in the phone company might view that kind of action as costing them revenue, or encouraging customers NOT to buy service agreements. I imagine the repair techs are supposed to be encouraging customers to pay for the service agreements.<BR/><BR/>Maybe I'm selling Verizon short, but I don't want to mess with a man's career.<BR/><BR/>JohnDuke_of_Earlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08358279187766938462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10628759.post-1150041968632398672006-06-11T11:06:00.000-05:002006-06-11T11:06:00.000-05:00What a wonderful story for Verizon.

Maybe you should tell them...or at least the local newspaper.

The population in our little burb is maybe 2000 during the week, swelling to 200,000 during weekends when all the tourist swarm in.<BR/><BR/>We still have that small town mentality, though. Lots of cases of people stepping up to help neighbors with fund-raising and donations when tradegy strikes.<BR/><BR/>But the down side is the gossip and lack of privacy. When my mom was diagnoised with terminal cancer --which was a misdiagnoises as it turned out--people I barely knew would stop me in the store to inquire about our plans. It amazed me how forward people could be and I kept thinking that such in-your-face-interest, wouldn't happen in a big city.Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11462734402375481024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10628759.post-1149944120476277082006-06-10T07:55:00.000-05:002006-06-10T07:55:00.000-05:00Props to Darrell.
