[QUOTE="tae111, post: 485627, member: 5978"] I remember back in the late 70s we used to have a book in the center from whatever company we were using at the time. You could look ahead and see the gifts for each year. Man i couldn't wait to get to 25. There was some pretty nice stuff you could choose from. When I finally got to 25 we were using a different company and boy was I dissapointed. All that great stuff was gone. Most of the selections were things I had already gotten in previous years. Just recently UPS changed to yet another awards company. Seems like only a year ago maybe not even so I'm supprised there diching it already. For 10 years I got a power washer for 15 a pulan chain saw for 20 a weber gas grill for 25 a 20 inch sony tv and for 30 I ordered a sony 7 speaker surround sound system. saw it on sale the other day for $248.00 at best buy. In the origional catalog, I believe it was for 25 years, one of the items was a Browning 12 ga. automatic shotgun. Even back in the early 80s I'll bet that was worth at least $500. Anyway its been a steady decline so if its finally over I guess it was inevitable. Seems like after we went public that attitude of we are a large company that thinks like small company went with it. Remember when UPS used to say " Our people are our most important asset" I guess that has changed to Our stock holders are our most important asset. [/QUOTE]
