      I had a car with a bad alternator and took it to a shop, manager quoted me $150 then called an hour later to say he’d picked the wrong version of my car on the computer, mine would be $100 more but he said “a deals a deal so we’ll do it for the 150.”

      Every other car problem I had after, straight to that shop cause I knew they’d do solid work and charge me fairly. Putting people before profits means retaining workers and getting loyal customers

        It definitely makes sense to anyone with the ability to see past their nose. I wish companies like Comcast and Verizon could see it.

          Monopolies for modern necessities (the internet and phone) don’t have to worry about customer retention.

        Plot twist: The right version was actually cheaper, but they figured they’d tell you that story to make you a more loyal customer.

      How did you get to this conclusion? Tesla, amazon, McDs etc are top tier companies who are notoriously shit both to work for and in how they operate in terms of skirting regulation etc.
