How do you select the best service for your needs?

It amazes me how different people are, especially men and women. After being married for over 27 years I have gotten quite comfortable with accepting and embracing our differences. I have grown to respect the differences in people including my family and friends. This enlightenment became most prevalent to me when I took my boyfriend, now husband shopping with me for the first time. It was the very first time that I became aware that everyone does not think like me, go figure. We walked into the store and I instantly spotted a dress that was the perfect color and style that I was looking for. It was too good to be true. I continued to comb through the racks making sure I did not miss not a single garment. My boyfriend informed me that he would wait for me on a bench outside the store. I was so impressed with his patients. Two hours later, I walked out of the store with the first dress I found when I walked in the store. I found him slumped over and sleep. Needless to say, that was the last time he went shopping with me.

Yes, we are very different. When he goes shopping, he walks in and goes directly to the item he is looking for and then navigates directly to check out. He does not deviate from his plan. He does not compare prices or brands. He knows what he wants and he gets it. On the other hand, I like options. I like to make sure I am getting the best deal and quality.
