best deal 5. is a thing of the past. On a national level the problem has gotten even more serious. A
recent financial story in The New Yorker last month observed that there is almost universal
recognition that customer service in this country has deteriorated. Such service is considered a
cost. Companies are looking for the customers they dont have so they are willing to spend on
marketing and advertising but are not as interested in adding to their costs of service. The article
