Understand the sentiment, but business (all business) is a perpetual battle, a competition against other businesses. A company that says "I'm not going to do that for a customer" has to understand and accept that he may lose business. Perhaps he has some other feature that people value that will hold or even grow his customer base. That's great. But a business that says "I'm just going to run my business the way that I want, I don't care what the customer might value or what competitors are offering" deserves to go out of business.

Love Tim Horton's new dark roast commercials. Feedback was so bad that they made a commercial that basically said "Yes, we heard you. We sucked. Now we are giving you what you want". I'll sure try dark roast again.
