Every day people are faced with situations that are completely out of their control, things they can not change, and obstacles that promise defeat. A traffic jam when you’re already late, rain on your wedding day, a parts delivery that’s not showing up on the delivery date, and a customer that refuses to pay. It […]
Read MoreThe only purchasing activity worse than car buying, is appliance shopping. The competing features are endless, the delivery takes eons, and the satisfaction doesn’t even come close to that of hopping in a new ride and taking off. Our dishwasher broke five months ago.
