Pumps' Perplexities

Once upon a time there was the word
"Service".....It was part of the large
corporation which HELPED people with
any problem after they purchased the
"corporate product".....

Those days are long gone.....It seems that
providing "Service" did not make any
money, in fact it was a negative draw down
on profits........

Today a good "corporate repairman" make
about $20 to $30 an hour......A very good
wage in this day and age......And justly due, I
may add.......

But the "corporate repair rate" is $100.00
an hour now.....So while the employee is
only making 1/5 of the amount charge, the
rest goes into the corporate till......

The only time a corporation will stand
behind its product these days is when there
is a "recall", and the lawyers are knocking
at the door.....The rest of the time the
consumer is on his own......

The corporations sold you the product at
the cheapest amount they could, and you
should be thankful for that......If the
product fails, you are now on your own
and the corporation wants more money......

I suspect the "service" bond has been lost
between people also.......Pumps
