Make no mistake...customers bear some of the brunt here, as well. I see no reason to belittle, berate, abuse, threaten, and generally mistreat those whose job it is to serve you. Where did we ever get the idea that that was the way to "get things done"? A little respect goes a long way...on either side.

Not arguing. Not one bit. Companies are going to get the quality that they are willing to pay for. Same as the consumer. If you're satisfied with substandard, in order to save a few bucks...then that's what you're going to get. Let's use Comcast as an example, because they're handy. Does Comcast care about their reputation? Is this the type of employee that they want representing their organization? In this case...apparantly not, but somehow I think that this was the pot finally boiling over. It's been simmering for awhile. Or...does Comcast not have any competition, to speak of, and therefore just collects income from captive consumers?
