I was doing my taxes and a low ball estimate is that I represented about 1500 bucks a year plus those funds my pals spent that joined me not to mention those customers I referred in--pretty stupid to lose local customers isn't it?

The girl replied to me, "Huh, if you don't see it it means it is discontinued." Well, I checked it on the internet, found it and ordered a six-months supply. Sorry CVS, that employee was just too lazy to check! CVS store lost me as a customer when I inquired about a particular product of a well-know brand.

I think most of the employers up here don't realize that if they paid a better wage they would get better help. One reader told me that the first sign of trouble is when a business hires teens. Granted, some can't afford to pay a better wage--I did some temp work for a while--filling in for a few businesses and it was amazing. Since I was a corporate trainer for a national firm I really can't believe some of the "stuff" that goes on around these parts. Silly me–how could I leave that out?!
