I
cannot
forget
how,
many
years
ago,
the
then
Branch
Manager
sat
on
our
request
for
reimbursement
for
many
months
while
telling
us
he
was
fighting
for
us
with
the
head
office.
Finally,
I
called
Memphis
and
talked
to
someone
in
authority
who
proclaimed
they
had
never
received
our
request
and
I
sent
it
to
her
and
we
got
paid
right
away.
So,
while
locally,
the
inspectors
and
now
the
newer
Branch
Managers
have
been
very
professional
and
helpful,
it
really
depends
on
who
the
Company
puts
in
positions
of
authority
on
the
local
level
and
having
had
one
terrible
experience,
it
just
stays
with
you.
That
experience
came
about
when
we
had
termite
damage
and
the
Company
was
going
to
send
a
contractor
from
Santa
Maria
to
fix
it
at
a
terrific
expense
and
we
volunteered
that
we
knew
an
honest
and
knowledgeable
person
who
would
do
it
much
less
expensively.
We
hired
that
person
and
paid
him
and
sought
reimbursement
which
the
Santa
Maria
Manager
held
up
while
lying
to
us
for
months.
You'd
think
the
Company
would
have
been
overjoyed
that
we
could
offer
someone
to
save
the
Company
thousands
of
dollars.
But,
no
good
deed
goes
unpunished.
When
we
had,
decades
later,
some
hardwood
floor
damage,
we
wanted
our
original
floor
installer
to
do
the
repair
rather
than
the
Company's
contractor
-
this
time
when
we
paid
the
person,
we
got
reimbursed
in
a
reasonable
time,
but
had
to
fight
like
hell
to
get
approval
for
that.
