Just remember we don't have all the answers yet." David, a long-time customer service employee raised his hand and said "I have a question. I've shopped there and know some people who work at their headquarters. They're not known for being. how should I put this... they're not very open minded. They're really top-down autocratic.

You're not going to bring their customer service people in to replace us are you? They'I ruin the good thing we have here." Carson looked at Isabella who took the microphone.
