   I actually took a class in marketing in college.  I concluded marketing   
   was just a bunch of made up buzzwords and cockamamie "theories" to sell   
   advertising.  Yeah, I also took a class on advertising.  It had some   
   real buzz words and theories to sell advertising.  Very little was about   
   the effectiveness of advertising.   
      
   When business is good you need to advertise.   
   When business is bad you need to advertise.   
   When you discover advertising and marketing firms just want your money   
   and if they bleed you to bankruptcy they just laugh you need to advertise.   
      
   When you discover that the advertising firms wrote the text books you   
   should take out a huge debilitating loan to attend more classes.   
      
   You should tell customers who need low turn rate or low margin items to   
   fuck off and buy it somewhere else.  Oh, wait.  That was basic survey of   
   business where they introduced that concept.  Its no wonder brick and   
   mortar stores selling substantial products have been dropping like flies   
   for the last 30-40 years.  In the same classes they will tell you small   
   businesses can compete by providing better service... Wait?  What?   
      
   I need some Dot 3 brake fluid.   
   Year, make and model please.   
      
   You should buy local.   
   Okay I need this today.   
   We can get that for you.   
      
   Sorry about the rant, but "We can get it for you," is the death knell of   
   retail.  Okay... I'm done now.
