Sometimes things happen that just make you say "really?"
I
got an email a week ago about an award that I had apparently earned
from the local chamber of commerce -- 2015 Best Bike Shop in Puyallup.
Really?
Sure, on my Facebook page I've listed my business as "Bike Shop,
Manufacturing", but that was just for the purposes of having SOME kind
of category for a custom framebuilder that made sense out of all the
things to select from the menu. I've re-assembled one bike for a
customer this year, the only actual "shop" kind of activity I've had all
year.
Maybe
I'm just all that and a huge bag of chips. Maybe the other two shops
within three miles of my place just really suck. [I don't actually
believe that.]
More
likely it's a way for the chamber to get me to pay for the privilege of
printing out a certificate to hang on my wall saying "I'm the BEST!"
I don't need those kinds of ego strokes, thank you.
So, chamber of commerce... Really?
