Hi Beth,

    This makes a lot of sense. Yet if I am given the choice between an
    old, trusted and proven customer and someone who I don't know, I'll
    choose the old customer every time. 

    I do agree with you that it's a store's job to court business, and
    part of that is fulfilled by respecting every customer. I choose to
    respect those customers who've proven that they are happy to use my
    services. Some customers are more equal than others! 

    Maybe I'm just an ol' stick in the mud, not progressive nor
    expansion minded. I like the 'sure thing' of working with someone I
    know. I believe that the people who can use my services, will. New
    customers will come into my business as is appropriate. I don't think
    I need to court everyone's business. 

    If this is wrong headed, I'm sure someone will tell me. I'm on this
    forum to learn and am grateful for all the info that flows between
    us.

    let us sleep in.
