Lutz's article goes a long way in explaining why the trend in quality
merchandise and services seems to be heading south. Another good
example is plane travel. The airlines treat their passengers like they
are a bother instead of like they are customers. However there is
always a way for the well healed traveler to make his journey more
comfortable. There is the first class cabin, and the airlines private
club room at the airport. For the really well healed, perhaps even
including Lutz, there is the Lear jet.
Like Bogart said in the African Queen, " You pays your money and you
takes your choice." There is Harbor Freight and there's Festool.
There is no free lunch and as consumers of wood working tools and
supplies we can buy at either end of the value spectrum.

Hey Swing,
I don't want to get into a spelling bee, but "heal " looks okay.

I'm pretty sure you didn't mean "entomology" (insectually speaking) so
you must have misspelled "etymology", or word origin.
Don't you just hate it when you correct someone and get it wrong?

I didn't correct anyone's spelling. I just went along with the
misspelling with a joke and my suggestion about the meaning of
'well-heeled'.
But, yes, I made a mistake in my spelling of etymology. Thanks for
correcting me.

I don't know the real entymology, but I think that it referred to a shoe
heel. A well heeled man did not have the heel wear of a poorer man.

I did nothing wrong, so copying that longhand is not a requirement.
But I wanted to be sure I didn't forget the lesson, and showed you
how much I meant it.

---------------------------
AT&T "slammed" my mother's L/D service when I tried to terminate it in
favor of another carrier.
Ended up talking to a "dot head" who in her "clipped" English read her
answers from a script.
No matter the question, got the same scripted replies.
At the time, Mom was 102.
Let the incorrect bill slide until Mom died, then suggested AT&T
contact her estate.
The incorrect bill went away.
AT&T will NEVER again knowingly provide me with any of their services
again.

I've heard that Comcast was put together by buying up regional cable
companies so depending on where you live you could get okay or lousy service
based on the local outfit with "Comcast" slapped on the door of their vans.
Most of the pitches from Comcast and AT&T leave me cold. What the hell do I
need with being able to watch a show in three different rooms without
missing anything? Is that how most people watch TV these days, while
walking around the house?
There are only a few network shows I'd bother to turn on the TV for, and I
have a seven-foot bookcase stuffed with DVDs (a surprising number of which
still have the shrink-wrap intact) so the idea of paying those mutts to have
327 channels of crap streamed into my house does nothing for me. It's more
likely I'd pay money not to watch Jersey Shore and all the similar sewage on
cable these days.

Interesting article. I've seen it up close, too many companies think the
Wal-Mart model is all that counts--keep your costs below everybody else's
and you win. But they forget that cost-cutting that drives away customers
or leads to more expenses down the road can mess up the company in a hurry.
The bean-counters don't have to deal with the pissed-off customers who want
to know why the product falls apart in half the time as the old model and so
on, they see only rosy profit projections based on their artificial models.
It's interesting that Apple not only makes products people like, they're
known for superior customer service as well. Contrast that with say the
recording industry which is run largely by people who consider music just
another product like floor wax or pet food or deodorant and who treat their
customers with contempt as Sony did when it put its infamous "rootkit" on
some of its CDs--is it any wonder the music labels have been sliding
downhill for the past decade?

Yes, Comcast also comes to mind. They ran their name into the ground so
bad they chose to rebrand their services under the name "Xfinity".
I almost hate to admit it, but I think their strategy was at least
partially successful.

I saw that ad and thought the same thing. There is only one television
in our house so it's a non-issue. Comcast reconfigured their services
though so one of their devices is required to get any channels through a
cable outlet (we used to watch through our computers). I'd like to drop
their cable service and watch the few things I would like to watch online.

Sorry, I don't know enough to know what Jersey Shore is. I don't think
I've ever sat through a reality show, if it's one of those.
