I miss Destin. We used to go there every 4th of July when I was a kid and living in New Orleans. Nowhere else like it.
GREAT place for a family vaca...scuba, parasail, bungee jumping, jetski...but the cat is out of the bag, as it is really getting crowded now.

Just have to head a little bit farther east... Seagrove is the place now.

Be sure to also find an online shop that will teach you to dive, give you air fills, and let you try on further dive equipment.
All for a hugh discount naturally.

Combat Retail went out of style many years ago in most industries for a very good reason; it didn't make any financial sense.

Used to be if you didn't buy your car at the dealership you got lousy service. Then car dealers got smart and decided Sales was one Revenue Center and Service was a separate Revenue Center. They then concentrated on maximizing income from both.

Next thing they knew they were making more money on both.

Customers react very well to Nice. They will only spend their money grudgingly, if at all to Bad.

The sooner the LDS' as a group discover this the better off they and the entire industry will be.
 
Are you saying that all LDS give bad service? Wow you must get around!

I was specifically referring to the quoted post. Unfortunately the attitude in that post seems to be a frequent one. Because of that unfortunately people seem to jump to conclusions, as you perhaps did.

As for me I buy both online and theLDS. Course my LDS may be just a bit further away than in most places. This is no different than the way I do all my business. As the old adage goes: Shop where your dollar is appreciated.
 
Well you should try to reframe from making blanket statements if you feel that many people seem to jump to conclussions when you post.
