I always go with respect, and patronize companies and businesses which do the same.

When I built my first computer, I couldn't get it to run. Kept try to figure it out, but came up empty. Frustrated, I took it to a local computer shop. Come to find out, my CPU wasn't seated properly in the adapter card. But since it was an easy fix, they fixed it for almost half of what they normally charge -- plus cleaned up some stuff in my case.

When I worked retail, I made sure that the customer got what they wanted, at the cheapest they could -- even if it wasn't where I worked.

The problem is commision -- everybody is a dollar, sell it even if they can't really afford it or even need it.

There is some descency left in the world -- but it's few and far between.
