Why should they? They're a business, and their job is to make as much money as they can.

There are only two reasons to give a damn about customers:
  • Doing so might actually earn you more business
  • You're a "good" business that believes in making a "fair" profit, not charging what the market will bear. This leaves out oil companies, pharmaceutical companies, tobacco companies, Wall Street and companies making goods in third-world countries that exploit workers and sell us lead-painted toys or tainted food.
