Then you should also know not to present something as "fact" when you can't
support it with verifiable data.  Saying something is "true" doesn't make it so.

Yup, don't want to be one of your customers.

The one thing I do miss about living in the US, especially the mid-west, is
when you walk into a store and ask them if they "x" and they "no" or "we are
out of stock" and then they tell you what store in the area may have what
you're seeking.

While it "isn't" their problem they go the extra mile to help.  I believe it
is what some people refer to as "service".
