Today's economy doesn't allow for shoddy customer service. The days of "They are a regular, they'll come back", are over. You have to strive daily to provide quality service at an affordable price.
We've all had a bad experience with customer service and told all of our friends about it. Blasted them on facebook, and spread the word.
When's the last time you had a GOOD Customer service experience and shared it with your friends?
I encourage you to find one good thing to say about a Great Lakes Bay Region business, and share it with your friends!
