Message LtDan beers 1808 º places 65 º 15:49 Tue 2/2/2010 Originally posted by puzzl Originally posted by LtDan This is a cheap way for BA to get web traffic. In the past, they have nuked threads that don’t even come close to this silliness. Indeed, I love how Todd said something along the lines of "thanks for the great discussion!" when he froze the thread. At least they are finally coming around. It’s cheap and tacky. I’m guessing their subscription numbers are down. I mean, they went from glossy paper to news print "to lower their carbon foot print."
Message cquiroga beers 371 º places 11 º 15:53 Tue 2/2/2010 "Going green!" is better than "Going out of business," right?
Message jake65 beers 4400 º places 158 º 16:00 Tue 2/2/2010 What a joke! I really enjoyed reading through that series of posts... I forget sometimes that the customer is King. Hah! I think I just became a serious CCB fan.

Message shawn14505 beers 39 º 16:21 Tue 2/2/2010 Things I’ve learned from this ridiculous unnecessarily long post: 1) There are a lot of morons on both BA and RB 2) See #1
Message KAF beers 448 º places 100 º 16:28 Tue 2/2/2010 Originally posted by SpencerDB Originally posted by miketd As a serious question for anyone else reading this thread... Will any of you not drink CCB because of the email Joey put out? Nope, I will continue to drink it. I have not enjoyed everything I have had from CCB but I will happily continue to try whatever they put out. I think the customer could have called ahead the day his friend was going to be there and just asked what was on tap, but the sarcastic animosity in the response was not necessary. I cannot imagine the stress levels that go into running a successful business with only four people and I understand getting frustrated with customers, and being very tempted to tell them off, but I don’t think I would be so blunt about. On the other side it is Joey’s business and he can do whatever the hell he wishes. So longs as he continues to put out good beer, I will continue to drink it.

They went from glossy mag to newspaper because they realized they’d lose massive amounts of money if they didn’t.

Message DYCSoccer17 beers 3746 º places 344 º 17:03 Tue 2/2/2010 is "I MANAGE a customer service team for two international luxury automotive brands" the next 110k+OT?
Message Sparky beers 2244 º places 26 º 17:09 Tue 2/2/2010 I didn’t read through most of this thread, but I’ll leave you with this... good customer service or not, isn’t the dream of owning your own business having the right to not answer to anyone but yourself at the end of the day and the benefit of being able to throw a big F U out there to someone if you feel like it?
