"I Fell For The Locksmith Scam"
I was just having a talk with a friend about this subject the other day. There are some services that can really price gouge the consumer. Plumbing and locksmiths were the best examples we could think of. Car salespeople were the most cliche example of this.
Subway Institutes $0.75 Refill Honor System?
If this is the polcy, then maybe they should go back to getting the drink for you. That way, it will cost them extra money in payroll for them to have to fill the drinks themselves.
Zappos Continues Awesomeness
Zappos has always seemed overpriced to me. I have always been able to find cheaper prices on sneakers and shoes on either Amazon or at a "real" store.
To some, their customer service may warrant the higher prices, but when it is a 20 dollar difference, as I have seen many times, it does not seem worth it.
However, when they do have a good deal, it is great to know that this great customer service will be applied to it.
@ Zimorodok: The Stop and Shop that I am employed at is going to be getting rid of the salad bar, according to rumors.
I work for Stop and Shop in Bayonne, New Jersey. We had two seminars that lasted over two hours each. They told us to basically be friendlier and bend more for customers that have problems. They want us to be more customer centered.
If a customer has a problem, the new way of dealing with it is to make the customer happy by just sending them on their way with what they ask for.
New uniforms will be issued as well. The front end and departments(registers and baggers, meat, deli, produce, dairy, g.m., hbc.) will be wearing the yellow/orange color that is shown in the new logo. Check-out solutions (self-scan, and customer service) will be wearing the purple color in the new uniform. Aprons will become part of the uniform as well.
Employees also receive a five percent discount on items. We also get an additional 5 percent on store brand items.

Federal Court: Cigarette Makers Are Liars And "Low-Tar," "Light" Cigarettes Are Dangerous
I live in New Jersey. On newer cigarette packs it is now written on the plastic wrapper that the terms light or ultra light refer to taste, not safety.
