Yeah so you say no to them all and drive off.

A ton of people get a hard on for Amazon on this site lol don't have a problem with companies eating themselves alive to fight for market share.

Be a man, change your own oil and leave the pitches for the women and weak males.

Had one competitor who operated his business at a very low margin. I had to beat him on quality and service.
Turns out he was laundering cash for his gambling and drug profits instead of trying to turn a profit.

I don't understand your rant. Nobody is making you go to these places.
Just going to use your oil change shop example:
Fine. Go somewhere else and pay more for an oil change.
Just say no to the other services?
