the bankruptcy of a furniture concessionaire that had sold furniture through cafes and now customers Are being confronted with substantial financial i just cant comprehend that a military in this instance can blithely ignore their responsibilities and have More or less informed the through their Legal that cafes int responsible for reimbursing customers when a concessionaire either claims the product is or the product is delivered in damaged con i am aware that cafes is now big business and that it is the profit margin they solely consider and not the financial hardships that May occur when a concessionaire defaults on contract to the in the past several we have had three incidents in that a company or concessionaire has gone out of business and cafes customers had to bite the Bullet because cafes Doest accept the responsibility in reimbursing their customers when a contract int May i does cafes actually determine the reputation of a company or concessionaire to sell his under the auspices of and then ignore their responsibility to the customer Munfor cafes has once again found a Legal loophole in absolving their responsibility and has implied to their customers that they buy their cafes products at their own i can just imagine How that Young Soldier and his wife Felt when they were informed that they have no recourse but bite the bul let and learn from their that Young Soldier and his wife bit the bul let and they Are still out and an additional monetary expenditure in buying furniture they i strongly recommend that cafes use part of its profits and have signs made and placed at each concessionaires place of business with the following warning cafes is not responsible for purchases involving contracts or products that Are not delivered or delivered in a damaged Condi Tion i doubt very much if cafes would comply with this recommendation As it would undoubtedly mean a sub Stantial lost of Scott Stuttgart editors note he replies lets get facts the
