I along with members of our country club are hopping mad. Many VERY kind hearted great people along with those who have posted here are angry, and for more than just the views needed for credits being changed but what I'd call the SNEAKY way they just "did it"...THAT'S the ULTIMATE INSULT.
Are we that stupid in their eyes? I doubt it, but they are cowards, and simply don't care.....Profit before compassion. As these thing always go IF WE COULD GET EVERYONE or the highest percentage of members to not buy anything, then we've gotten into their pockets. The only way for us to not only be HEARD, but be cared about.....Of course they hear us, but they don't CARE. Now......Take money from them from non compliance in purchasing, don't but anything, and suddenly they still don't care about us BUT they care about profit loss. Like similar issues with big companies in other markets, we can only make a difference if we do it in numbers.....which sadly never happens.
It's all about money BEFORE the member, when it's us the members that make them the money.
