[Electronics-talk] ScripTalk

[ckrugman at sbcglobal.net]

Several months ago I was contacted to complete a customer survey about what 
I thought about the product and whether or not I would change my pharmacy to 
Walgreen's if they offered it in my area and whether or not I would be 
willing to pay for the service. While I felt that some people would benefit 
from the product I responded in the survey that I was not willing to pay for 
the service and nor was I willing to change pharmacies as Walgreen's is a 
few miles away and I can walk to my current pharmacy. The Internet marketing 
company hosting the survey paid me $20 for my participation. I guess it pays 
to sign up at times for internet surveys.
