Business: The Ugly

Send us your horror story.  Let us know the who, what, and whys of the nightmare.

Living Life…Boomer Style’s philosophy is:
We vote with our money.  Our way of rewarding ourselves in living a good life is to take good care of ourselves.  The businesses who have shoddy policies calls us to duty in getting the word out, so we can use buyer beware practices.  Perhaps by not voting with our money the ugly business will become one that delivers good customer service, great products, and use integrity in their dealings.  If not, at least we have had our say and impacted others lives by not having to suffer like we did.
