Boycott BP?
We all agree that BP sucks. But I have to say that any of these ideas to boycott gas stations is all wrong. Most of these service station/c-stores are owned by independent, local business people with the only connection to BP is that they supply the gas to the station. You quit buying from them all that will happen is the mom and pop owners will go broke and close. BP won't suffer at all. Even if the U.S. market dries up they can still sell oil and gas almost anywhere else in the world. You think China really gives a shit that BP is polluting our coast? BP has really fuched everyone, but don't misplace your anger. ibf.
- What I've never understood is how a weddnig planner (not you, because even though I don't know you I LOVE this post!) can complain about how no one wants to pay their rates, but then insist they don't need to hire a professional service provider that charges more than $xxx.If I had a nickel for every bride that told me she only budgeted $500 for entertainment because that's what the weddnig planner told them to even though they LOVE us and what we bring to their event (starting at 3 times that price) I'd be a very rich man.Top professionals should seek out other professionals of the same caliber. I've had to resort to referring my clients to a weddnig planner that's 350 miles away and that, is a shame. Particularly when I have brides changing their dates to hire us, verifying that we're available before they nail down the date at the venue, and the like.
