The new "Cheers" generation would rather find the draft beer .25 cheaper at Maximo's 2 doors down than have a relationship with the crowd in the bar as well as the bartender.
Unfortunately, that seems to be the case at least in my experience. Yes, it would be nice to find a place that believed in loyalty. Seems to me that they do when they first start out but later, when they get more established, they change their ways and forget their roots. Well, I don't want to mourn for the dead. I just move along, see the rules and adapt. Ford store my Dad went to for 30 years pissed him off. He had something UNDER WARRANTY and the first thing they asked for is $100 to scan and see what the problem is. Well, he finally learnt that his loyalty to that place was, is and will be misplaced and went somewhere else.

Or to the bar down the road because the bartender has larger hooters.
