LockedIncentives for Problems!

When a person buys an expansive item  ($400+) by Kenmore or Craftsman  ,and within the first year that product breaks, that costumer should get back 20% of their purchase price. This would help improve Sears image of standing behind the products, and create more trust in Sears brands. That way people don't say things like this.

As long as Sears can be reimbursed by the actual manufacturer of the machine, that there's a GREAT idea!

So, should Adobe and other software manufacturers "go back" to giving free software service, until they get their software releases "right"?

Or, if a tire prematurely fails, should Good Year cough up a new/free tire?

Talking about incentives, ya hear about that cash reward for every software bug found by company programmers.

A little flaw in reasoning was the programmers who wrote the code were finding and being given monetary rewards for their own "mistakes".

I think most people would agree; That's the wrong kind of incentives for problems.

I think most people vote with their wallet. They spend money in stores where they believe offer good value for their dollar. Not because of refunds for "screw-ups" or errors from the manufacturer. They may soften the blow but it's more like an apology when people don't want mistakes to begin with.
