Although I don't agree with their stance, I think it shows that they thought about their actions and are willing to stand by it. I think that only a dramatic reduction in income will change their mind.
:iagree:

It appears that they don't care for CHL business? Has anyone noted this on the 30.06 site?

Re: Angry at Sprouts!

Granted e-mail is by far the easiest and most contemporary for both sender and receiver. It is also the easiest to have "never been received".

Otherwise, y'all win. :leaving

Nice thought; however, if it ain't in writin', it didn't happen. E-mails ain't in writin'.
I dont really shop there (maybe twice in the past year), but thought I might provide a little insight on the email vs writing.

I work in the financial industry, and while the "canned responses" may not make people in this complaint thread happy, they server a purpose in getting a unified response out to customers, with wording that has been approved by their legal team. Like it or not, the litigiousness of our society mandates things like this for certain types of responses.

On the email not counting -at least in the industry I work in, email writing holds 100% of the weight that a paper letter does, and makes life a heck of a lot easier. And anything that comes in via paper is scanned into our electronic imaging system anyways, and the paper copy is then destroyed. We don't keep a big filing cabinet with written requests and letters or hand deliver those angry letters to the CEO office in a giant mail bag to show how much people care (that scene from Miracle on 34th street comes to mind here...), and it actually takes longer to get a response or for it to be seen by anyone that matters. Also of note, it is processed by the same group of people, regardless of who it is addressed to. They then make the determination of responding, sending it up higher for review, or simply logging it as a complaint and moving on.

This isnt 2001 and a bad spam filter on AOL or Hotmail any more, and while individuals may feel electronic is cheating, that is how business is done now, complaints included...
Really? When it comes time to produce a copy of the correspondence....

Re: Angry at Sprouts!

It's their business and they can run it however they choose...and we can shop wherever we choose as well. I don't care for 30.06 businesses; however, they are a part of life as we know it. Shoot fire, we even dropped off a bundle of stuff at Goodwill a couple of weeks ago. Somebody will get some use out of it even if we don't approve of the business' MO.

There is a Fresh on Old Jacksonville Highway leading out of Tyler. Ain't nothin' cheap about it. OTOH, they ain't posted and there are are some 'high steppers' who frequent it. When you look at them, they look back. :cool:

There's not one in Rusk either. We do have a grocery, Sonic, DQ, several churches, a couple fillin' stations and a hard likker store, etc., none of which are posted. :smilelol5:
Sorry to say, but Rusk is nothing unless it has a McDonald's or two.
There is a relatively new McDonalds; however, we've not tried it. When I first came across this post, I thought it was about somebody's kids or something.
