Yea... Corporations only want your money. Didn't Wal-Mart just give 250K to aid in disaster relief? wait.. no.. they didn't.. because they just upped it to 1 million. Another business, I heard, gave 2 million. AT&T and other companies are providing free calling service and WiFi in affected areas to help people stay connected. That's just a start.. but I can certainly see how corporations main function in life is to rip people off. Money, aid, and physical support is coming in strong from those greedy corporations all over the place from around the country...
Please.. engage the brain before you say such silly things.

It's more of an advantage to corps to offer donations and what not. Can you say BIG tax write offs?
It's so true. BIG corps only want whats in your wallet.

Good PR will help, as will donations.
If AT&T didn't help getting these customers their service back... then they wouldn't be getting revenue from them.
Tax deductions are always good as well.

1st, it's not "more of an advantage"...
2nd, do you know how the tax code works and why donations are able to be written off? Theoretically, money needs to flow from the private to the government and some goes back to the private sector. You may funnel money direct to charitable causes yourself instead of the government doing it. So, what's wrong with that?
3rd, very good! Yes.. corporations DO want whats in your wallet... and...? What's your point? That's what business is all about.. supply and demand... they have something you want - you trade with them.. money for product and/or service.
Paranoid people also look at Christmas gifts and think "I wonder what they want from me"... sad, really.
Let me give you something to think about... a charitable donation is going to get into the hands of those in need FAR faster than the government... so please, tell me what's wrong with a donation - even if a tax break is in play.
This is ridiculous.

LOL, man companies can't catch a break. They bill disaster victims and then they're called heartless bastards. They suspend the bill and provide free services to disaster victims...and then they're greedy SOBs that're only after a buck.
Good God, pick a side and stick with it. The customer got what they wanted from the company they do business with. If that isn't a case of customer service, I don't know what is. |

They would've made a whole lot more money in just keeping their donations, rather than give them away. You bet your ass they're included in tax write offs. Don't we all try and account for the $5, $10 or whatever we donate to charities as well come tax time? Their donation is no different than the ones citizens make.
said by hopeflicker:It's so true. BIG corps only want whats in your wallet. What else are they supposed to want? If a company wanted anything more from me than what's in my wallet, I'd feel like I had a stalker or something. |

Well maybe not rip offs, that doesn't sound right...they DO provide a service. But what I think he was trying to say is that most corporations tend to not really cater to the needs of the customer and are more interested in the bottom line. |

Well, some people also go above and beyond making money. They want to help others and feel satisfaction in what they do. |

| reply to fiberguy
Are you seriuos? Donating money & resorces is the least they could do. With all the tax loop holes these companies use they should have given 10 times the amounts offered. Take a look at some of the financial statements, in the 10's of billions. |
