I have purchased things at several places lately that have attached little "Win $10,000! Complete our survey!" notices to the bottoms of their receipts. What's the deal with everyone wanting to know how lousy their service is? Are they actually going to do anythig about it?
I have received these receipt-borne customer surveys from Rite-Aid, TGIFriday's, Home Depot, Donatos, CVS, and Staples, just to name a few. Some of them I bothered to fill out. Others I just throw away. Am I really throwing potential winnings down the drain? Have you heard of anyone actually winning one of these things?
And is the information you provide to these companies useful? There's only one way to find out -- take a survey about this site!
How are we doing?
At least I don't have to cook a burger to "medium" done-ness. TGIFriday's got a really poor rating in that category.

Real Comments: You really have some quality content here, and a stunning/well-designed theme, but sometimes this blog takes several minutes to load or simply stalls (server issues?).
