Sooner or later some of these companies will learn to stop fucking with us curmudgeons. We're cheap and we research.
My insurance company sent me an e-mail that they were raising their rates. The Fuck you are! I shopped around, ended up saving 1200 a year less than what I'd been paying. They recently sent me a letter asking what they need to do to get me back. You could start by refunding the money you overcharged me over the last FORTY years.
The local inconvenience store stopped selling the cheap papers, they want to sell more expensive big brands. Once again, screw you, I found a place on line that delivers my favored brand to my door for 15 cents a pack less than I used to pay. Never would have looked but you forced my hand.
One of the local grocery chains stopped sending their flyers in the mail. Lately their prices are breathtaking to say the least. Hey you know what the other chains still send flyers and they have better deals. I never paid attention to them before. Ooops, thanks for the heads up on that.
Don't even get me started on the cable, phone and satellite services. Looks like T-mobile wants to play next.
