Weighing in on the award debate: I think it is a good idea, but:
1. I think entry should be limited to people who have purchased a product in the last 12 months. 2. They can only cast a vote for the retailer where they purchased if they think they got excellent service from that retailer. 3. It should be limited to WA. I guess I would want to stop people from voting for who they think is best based on a purchase they made years ago. The only people who should be in the vote are active purchasers. The ones with the larger stores will have more of a chance of winning; but then they have the larger stores, etc. Or perhaps there could be another way to make it equitable in terms of tallying votes; but: 1. I don't care about stores outside of WA; I am interested in my local options 2. I don't think people who don't purchase should be casting a vote; what are they basing it on? Nat
