A "Mom and Pop" agency like Ray's you mean? Oh, that's right, he doesn't
even have a Mom!

Of the comments received in reference to this particular news release, I
think Chrissy Cruiser summed it up best, with... "And they will die a
slow death there if they don't adjust too."

I too operate with what could be considered the old fashion way,
providing that truly "Mom & Pop" service, yet also having access to very
competitive prices. We could charge a service fee, and actually do under
some situations, but providing just an on-line menu for price shoppers is
not our objective. How can we then compete and get the clients simply
price shopping? That's easy. We just let them do all the walking first,
then simple give them our best price on the best price they think they
already found. It's that simple, and it works just about every time

Jim, I wouldn't have seen this if you had not included it in your post....
The last part of the above post from John Sisker, "smacks" with the
business ethics of another *John* who was a T/A who posted here a lot a long
time ago..Everyone knows what happened to him.
