Question: What is the truest definition of globalization?
Answer: Princess Diana’s death.
Question: Why?
Answer: An English princess with an Egyptian boyfriend crashes in a French tunnel, driving a German car with a Dutch engine, driven by a Belgian who was drunk on Scottish whisky, followed closely by Italian paparazzi, on Japanese motorcycles; treated by an American doctor, using Brazilian medicines.
This is sent to you by a wannabe Irishman, using American Bill Gates’ technology, and you’re probably reading this on your computer, that uses Taiwanese chips, and a Korean monitor, assembled by Bangladeshi workers in a Singapore plant, transported by Indian truck drivers, hijacked by Indonesians, unloaded by Sicilian longshoremen, and trucked to you by illegal aliens.
That, my friends, is globalization in a broad sense.

Attack of the killer price increases!
As most know, the months of January and July are hated; mostly because one is freezing and the other is scorching hot. Besides that, they are also the months when manufacturers have their price increases.
Alas, poor consumer, True has issued another price increase! That's right, beginning July 2010 - prices are going up!
The moral to this story? STOCK. UP. NOW! If you're even considering buying New Commercial Equipment this year, purchase before July, 1, 2010. Even if you don't need it in your shop, buy it before July 1st. Most stores, including ours, will be flexible on that delivery date. As long as they know when you need it and that you're willing to pay for it up front, they're most likely easy-going about storing it for awhile.
The bad news this time is a 4% increase. It was 7% last time so consider yourselves lucky! True is merciful!
They're one of the best brands on the market with excellent after sale support and lots of parts distributors across the US. Their resale value is also high so consider a True!
Stay Chill!

Coffee
Its been an interesting month since I last graced the web with my random coldness. :)
Our company has been expanding into the coffee arena. Not just normal coffee, but specialty coffee - good coffee, better than Starbucks coffee. We already sell Bunn and Fetco and all the other standards in the restaurant world but now we're breaking out into a whole new world of coffee. I wish the genie could be here and grant us an easier way to break into the market. Its been slow going, but a rewarding March. First of all, I'm finally comfortable talking about ESpresso machines. Not EXpresso. You'll get your tongue chopped out around here for saying that. If you enjoy espresso and know what SO espresso is, then you'd better go to this site right now! Your life may depend on it. Or at least some good coffee may depend on it.
