Yes, we really did notice. Businesses that depend on internet and credit card transactions were basically shut down. The operator bank where I work had to sit on their thumbs because we couldn't make any phone sales. No internet orders could be processed, either. We lost a lot of business yesterday because of it, including a LOT of other businesses in the entire county.
So yeah, it did kinda get noticed. | |

Nope, we sell electronics to a national customer base and are advertised nightly on a coast to coast radio show. No "telemarketing" involved. | |

| Re: And in Humboldt... said by ropeguru :Hmmmm.... Seems that smoking has you stereotyping also?? Must think that everyone in FL is a retiree... Obviously, since everyone in Humboldt County is a reefer-head, everyone in Florida is a doddering, drooling, wrinkly old Social Security case.
Just using your logic, chief. | |

Johnson City, TN | IMO, any business that really wants to be prepared should have a satellite backup. At least the internet orders would have been processed. | |
