We need COMPETITION! Competition brings lower prices AND better customer service.
That is a wonderful theory. But in practice it doesn't happen. Wander into any Walmart/Costco/HomeDepot/etc./etc. Customer service has lost out to low prices. And try calling any major competitive retail company and go thru their phone trees where you are on the phone for 10 mins before you can reach a human being. They didn't do that to improve customer service. They did it so they could get rid of 90% of their customer support personnel.

I work at a "competetive retail company"(for jack shit) and when people call, they ask a question, and if the cashier can't answer, they transfer them to that department.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Companies don't cut customer service, they just pay them crap.
