I have been fortunate enough to be involved in a 1/2 dozen nationwide acquisitions on the sales side. What I learned was every single one had it's on personality, the only thing you could bet on being the same between all the locations across the nation would be that half of the existing customers will have quit them by the end of the first year. What works in Ocala Florida doesnt work in El Paso.By the way, I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm saying why it happens, it happens because it pays off, and people for the most part dont care, they believe what they want to believe. I have learned in my line of business, perception is reality, what you perceive to be reality is your reality, hell just read amazon reviews if you dont believe me. It matters not how good you may be if a person thinks your product is crappy, then to them, you product is crappy. Everybodys reality is relative to their experience.This aint no new phenomena.</blockquote>
