It is very challenging to be subjective in these situations. When someone can fell that they aren't doing anything wrong and the other party is just over reacting.

I chose to write about T-mobile because of the appreciation that they show to their customers. They maintain their customers by having a program called T-mobile Tuesday. They give away anything from pizzas to free or discounted movie tickets to the new movies that are out. They have features like the hot spot on our cellphones for no additional charge. I feel they have kept my attention and business so long because they do everything they can to make my interaction great and resolve my problems.
