My Sweetwater guy is a friend for life! I opened the box containing a little bluetooth mixer I just bought. 14 bags of Sweetwater candy! He used it as packing! 14 bags!
Breakfast is taken care of!

I drove up today to check out their once-a-year tent sale for used and demo items. They seem to think they're offering some great deals, but I will politely disagree.
I was going to brag about getting 5 bags of candy with the t-shirts, strings and stand I bought. But I see I got the short end.

14 bags? Holy crap. I assume that means 14 pieces of Bit O’ Honey??

More. Some bags had two.
I sent an email to "my guy" thanking him and letting him know he had just made a friend for life!
(he had told me he was overseeing the packing of my mixer personally)
((not "he", rather, Lucas, my good friend for life!))

The chewy portion of my haul today. I'm not jealous because I have temporary crowns on my back molars. |

I just got one bag. I only ordered a Fishman Power Tap Earth. I'll leave the candy out for Sue when she gets back from her ladies trip.
I find it annoying that I get a phone call from my personal Sweetwater Rep every time I order something. I'm happy with the company. I'm happy with the products. I'm happy with the candy. But don't call me up on the phone !

But don't call me up on the phone ! What a grump! Here the guy is trying to establish a friendly, buddy-type relationship with you and your wallet, and are you grateful? No! You only got one bag of candy so you harshly reject his love and friendship. Oh, ‘it’s a sad life the lonely curmudgeon lives. And candy-less, too. |

"Bugger off !"  (I'm very sensitive to commercial entities bombarding me with phone calls and texts.) |

"Bugger off !" (I'm very sensitive to commercial entities bombarding me with phone calls and texts.) Commie! I am on my 2nd Sweetwater Friend/Advisor. The first guy never called. I would order something & I might get an email saying thanks, which was all I expected. He is no longer there and the new guy must have me on speed dial. I don’t answer the calls, but he will leave a message saying, If you need something you can order it so let me know! Well, d’uh! That’s how business works. If I need a loaf of bread, I go to the store, but the baker never calls and says, hey, how’s the bread situation? Do you need a loaf of rye? C’mon over and I will bake you a few. I think Sweetwater, a place I really like, does tend to go a bit overboard in the personal contact category. This tells me commission is king. |

I was told they don't do the commision thing.
Now, it was Casper that told me that, but he's usually pretty informed about stuff.

They must simply feel the need to carry customer satisfaction to the highest level. All things considered, it’s a cool place & anything I order is on my doorstep the next day. |

"Bugger off !" (I'm very sensitive to commercial entities bombarding me with phone calls and texts.) I just asked them not to call and they stopped. Answer a call and ask them to stop. |

I determine whether, and how, I answer the phone based on the area code on my screen, When I see that 260 area code pop up, I answer with, "Where's my candy?"
It works.
