Quote:… You are being shagged, lined up and bent over the service counter. …
Couple of years ago, bought a new phone.
(One that made ‘phone calls’, not a hand held computer that was, ’supposed’ to be ‘glued’ to the side of my head)
Next bill I got, (Verision), their was a 30.00 charge for, ‘new equipment’.
I promptly called them up, and, ‘gently’ explained:
“I do NOT, pay more for gas, when I put new tires on my car”They, promptly credited my account.
But, now many several hundreds of thousands of, shepoll,
Just, ‘paid’ that 30.00 bucks, resulting in a million + dollar bonus, for the company, each month?
Simple, the Vast, VAST, Majority of shepol, will just pay it with out question. So, most people, will do it again, and again, and again !
Just like the spoiled 6 year old, in the store, who cry's, and yells, and throws a tantrum, for a bag of candy.
That child, KNOWS, (has learned from past experiences).
That the Parent, 'gives', in, rather than, the parent giving a swift slap on the butt, or grabbing their hand, and walking out of the store.
