Well..... close to the start of the new year the local cable company (Comcast) announced a rate increase of almost 30%. Yes, you read that correctly that was 30% my friends and the service has remained exactly the same. So, in the midst of company layoffs and this wonderful volatile economy, instead of at least keeping the rates and service the same for their customers, or offering a little more competitive rate to garner new customers someone at their round table came up with the brilliant idea of INCREASING their current rates for their spotty service 30%. Why improve your service and get creative to bring in new customers when you need additional sales when you can high jack your current customers and poof it is like you have brought in an additional 30% in sales. SHAME ON YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Comcast you now get 2 thumbs AND 2 toes down!

School Pictures
With the advancement of cameras and the new found ease in which your average Joe can take and edit their own pictures, enabling them to look as if they have been professionally taken, one would think that professional photographers (especially big photography companies) would be much more competitive in their pricing. Generally speaking of course as I have only had experience with the one company that has my blood boiling; the big and widely known school portrait company Lifetouch Portraits.
Year after year I have watched the cost of their portrait packages go up and the number of actual portraits in each package go down. With the number of schools across the nation that they do business with I find it incredibly distasteful, disgusting, and repulsive that they have chosen to literally rape the parents of this nation's school system. There is NO reason and NO excuse why they should have such high prices for their portraits with the widely available technology out there. Their continued price increase and product decrease is a huge slap in the face to all parents; SHAME on Lifetouch Portraits for being so greedy and failing to think innovatively for those that keep them in business; yes Lifetouch in case you were wondering those would be your CUSTOMERS.
