Qne Man's Opinion

By FRED MERRIMAN

Maybe some of the Spokane exodus can be explained.

But some people are spoiling it for the good guys.
Here is the number on complaint handed to me:
Customer: “ you carry left-handed widgets?”
Salesperson: "No"
Customer: “Do you know who might carry them?”
Sales person: “Nope”
Customer: “Thank you.”
Sales person: “Yer welcome.”

_ Any Widgets?

‘The merchants, sales people, and even my stubborn Bank Manager have been helpful and
courteous to me. They make me feel like a very important person and they quite often call me by
name. But it is coming back tome that many people don't feel they are able to share that opinion.

Tam sorry to hear that some people are not being treated and served with the idea that the
customer is King or Queen. Yes, I know for a fact that most clerks in Spokane are friendly and _
helpful. I think most people involved with the public in Castlegar are equally as kind and

Now let's try to see.things from the salesperson’s point of view.

Six months ago he asked the owner to bring in some widgets. The boss said “sure thing”. The
supplier advised that widgets have been discontinued for economic, reasons.

Actually the supplies in Toronto, had lost the national distribution rights for widgets and

We will know in due course when a travelling salesman calls to

With each telling he shortened the story and by the time hapless and helpless customer
number 13 calls-a-searching, the speech has been reduced to one word: “Nope”.
It would have been more courteous to add: “I am sorry” then mutter under his own breath:

The world is now run by computers and those dollar-hungry computers react in an instant to
the fickle Law of supply and demand. If you the customer do not make your demands known in
advance of your needs then business cannot handle it. The days of carrying thousands of dollars
of dead or slow-moving stock just to back up an occasional widget sale are gone.

Most national wholesalers must bid for and be able to forecast actual sales in widgets for the
upeoming year. The factories will not build anything on speculation anymore.

I feel sorry for the customer and I feel sorry for-the salesperson.

And would ask both of them to please try to understand the other person's problem.

Now that’ 1 have been pro-
perly chastened by the editorial

* with the utmost diligence that I

hasten to correct my. conduct.
My only excuse to you
would be that Ihave been very

_ involved’ in’ ‘many. pressing

activities that direttly concern
us all—so much a0 that time has
been. at a premium. ‘

A few weeks ‘ago, Mr.
Foster and Mr.’ McGregor of
the federal penitentiary service
arrived. for «a, meeting::with
council. Their message 'to us
was, there is no need for addi-
tional penitentiary facilities’ in

pleted until 1982, After. 1982,

throughout the country, So the

great issue of January of this”
year in regard toa prison in our.
area was just that of a‘ rumor.
On June 17, council and the’
advisory ''planning committee
viewed with interest a pres-
sniatine made by Terry Gibson
of CMEC. His slide program

These programs could be

these programs and making
recommendations to council in
the very near future. The’ firat

these prograris is the designa-

on the Revenue Sharing Act:
