Are we in a recession?

Postby pastorables » May 15th, 2009, 7:06 pm

Recently, my son and I were at a popular fast food eatery. In all my years, I can't remember the time when popular fast food establishments didn't include toys with their kids meals. Well, it happened. I ordered my son a kids meal and he didn't even get a toy. As he complained, I looked around to notice that this wasn't a mistake, but there was no advertisement as usual mentioning toys for the kids.

I have also noticed many other recession-type cutbacks among leading companies. What have you noticed?

I think people are afraid, and companies are being stingy.

We as Christians should not fear but we should continue to be faithful, generous, hard-working, and trusting in the Lord. But I'm sure I don't need to tell you that! :)
..I press on to take hold of that
for which Christ took hold of me.

That means you don't shop at that establishment any longer.. and be sure to email the corporate HQ and tell them that they lost your business over a 2 cent toy cutback.

You are spending your money as usual and you expect to get the usual service.
