		<description>&quot;Be nice to your customers all year round&quot;.

Hmm - even now there are companies who treat thier customers like crap. Apparently they didnt get the memo that theres a recession ;)

I also think this applies to companies who are taking advantage of thier staff right now (no company in particular of course ;) )</description>

		<description>bugsy nabs comment #600!

One interesting comment I saw on the news the other day, picture this;
UK shoppers queuing outside a stores in a big indoor shopping centre at 0830 in the morning - waiting for them to open.
the shutters start coming up, and people scrabble under them to enter the shop.
Quotes from people there;
&quot;We&#039;re here to get a bargain&quot;
&quot;We&#039;re looking for a last minute saving&quot;
&quot;Well it&#039;s what you need to do to get a bargain&quot;

The thoughts that occurred to me; 
So recession isn&#039;t stopping you spending extra money then? 
&amp;
all those retailers who are being exploited by us selfish consumerist types waiting for them to be so far against the wall they practically have to give the stuff away just to get us through the doors.

- What goes around, comes around.  And now the shops that wouldn&#039;t acknowledge our presence last year, are hoping we&#039;ll save their lives.

Be nice to your customers all year round.</description>
