I normally would not ever write anything negative about a person or a business, however this disturbed me greatly.

While shopping at Urban Ornaments I was privy to hear conversations about other business's in the Clovis area that sold the of the same merchindise as Urban Ornaments. The comments were very degrading to other business's. It even as far as blackballing others from there suppliers. As a business owner myself ,I felt this was in very bad taste. If we as business owners dont have more faith in our products and salespeople ,that those things will support our busniess and not have to result in bad mouthing or degrading someone else's business, in order to retain customers .Then maybe we ought not to be in business at all. There are alot of business's being hurt by the economy right now, none of us needs anymore to deal with. If we stick together rather than pit ourselves to petty jealousy we all might make it through the tough times. My advice as a business owner is simply this. If you cant say something nice, it's best to keep your mouth shut.
