I just couldn't figure out how a MAJOR stockholder was so concerned over 50 cents.
Hmmm, why can't I get a hold of (20) 50 cent coupons and get a $10 item free?
I have a friend who advised me either before or shortly after we bought in The Villages
they do not get better as they get older, they get worse.
Up the corporate ladder? In the real world they likely have a clerk who gets all these complaints, likely hundreds per day. Repeated issues in a store, with an employee will be reviewed. I'm sure they also keep track of complaints by the person making them.
