This is my illustration for Allen Forkum's Automotive Report. It's an ad for his paper that reminds his customers how rough economic times require aggressive advertising to keep up with the competition.

It's amazing what happens when you treat the customer right. All too often the customer is treated like a burden or interruption.
I can recall going into a coffee shop. The employee behind the counter was on her cell phone with a friend. After two minutes and not even an acknowledgement I was there, I left.

Sounds like you were another victim of, what I refer to as, the U-Generation (Underachiever). I hope you at least left a tip, you unfair bastard.

DOH!!!
Thunked of it right after I hit send. Don't actually give better service; just repeatedly tell customer he's getting better service while giving him worse service.
"Change" anyone?
