I went home and dug out all my reciepts and checks that I had spent there over the last year..over 9 grand. Going back, I laid them on thier counter, and told the owner, that 130 bucks you saved, just cost you 9 grand in my business, and I never went back in that store.
Thanx for the great response, lets keep it going

Good for you! Many times I wish I had saved all my reciepts and do the same thing!
I truely believe the to be strong a community needs to support itself. Shop in it when you can & hire from within whenever possible and keep your money & sales tax in your community. I live right on the IL/
WI state line (Kenosha-- not a huge shopping mecca) & unfortunately Gurnee IL is closer to me and has more shops than Racine. But still I always try to shop in
WI and when I can't, it honestly bothers me to see my dollars going to IL sales tax..
