Emilie C.Woodruff This is known these days as the "credit card" phenomenon. The general public is so used to getting whatever it wants - when they want it - that they don't understand that we don't do it that way. Heck, these people wouldn't even get their "pick" if they went to a pet store, where instant gratification is the by word. I tell people (I do TRY to be polite, hehehehe) this is NOT a car lot. You can't go in and pick color, make and model and voila have it delivered.
