Bill, The days when people took real pride in their products and services. Just 10 yrs younger than yourself, I remember my parents going to stores, car mechanics, etc, and they knew who you were. Granted we were lower middle class growing up, but everyone greeted by parents like they were the most important people in town. They always got a fair deal and treated with respect. The mom and pop appliance store intown "Stamms TV & Appliances" store where my mom got everything. I remember going with her to get her new washer and old man Stamm said "good god, you're finlly giving up that washer I sold you years ago. How many kids do you have left at home.....This is the washer you need here, I know you want basic". My Dad going to B.O Dalberts for car repairs, many a time he said, "Aww don't worry about it, it was a simple fix, catch me later". I know it sounds like "Aw those were the good ole days" routine, but truly, people took pride in their goods and services and made you feel important. |
