Topcon Solutions in Kansas City, MO, which is the successor to Griner & Schmitz, has been my go-to shop since day one.?ÿ I don't do a huge amount of business with them compared to most firms.?ÿ But, I have been a constant for decades.?ÿ When I called today to place a simple order, Terry asked me if I wanted it shipped to me or have my daughter who works a short distance from there come in and pick it up.?ÿ She has only done this three or four times over the past dozen years, but, she must be memorable.?ÿ I appreciate Terry's efforts to show he is appreciative of my business with them.

This is how things should work.?ÿ Attempting to do something just as simple by attempting to understand Adib in Pakistan is a fast way to lose my business.?ÿ There are options.

I've been dealing with what used to be a small operation in 2000 for my stakes and lath, rebar, flagging and the various other supplies.?ÿ The owners name is Lee, and we hit it off the first time I walked in the door to his store front door and we've had a relationship since.?ÿ I'm now his biggest customer, when he is running low on stock, he calls me to let me know so I have first dibs and will deliver in two days, if not the next day, despit my office being a good 70 miles from his shop.

In today's world, it's hard to find those types of relationships.?ÿ With six crews, we are pretty high volume consumers of his wood products and supplies and is quick to go out of his way to accomodate me as a sign of appreciation.?ÿ That's something that I respect and the reason that we have been doing business for so many years.

@flga-2-2?ÿ

Close, but, no cigar.

This is a bit closer to the real deal.?ÿ Natural blonde with blue eyes and pale skin.
