Can you share a story where a corporation put you before profits?

It’s easy to rip on a bank, insurance company, but can we share positive stories?

In 2013 I transferred money into my credit card, and when grocery shopping. I ordered ~$100 worth of groceries, and it declined. I quickly called my credit card provider and explained everything. While I was refunding everything in public the credit card company called me and gifted me $20, of their own money, for a pizza.

Please share your positive experiences.

There’s nothing inherently malignant about the word “corporation.” There are many types of legal existence for conducting business, and a corporation is just one among the choices.

People tend to think of corporations as huge, untouchable entities that act entirely for the greatest profit and shareholder benefit. The term “corporate” often gets used in a disparaging manner.

The reality, though, is that any business might be incorporated—as examples, a neighborhood bakery, dry cleaner, barber, day care center, restaurant, or shop might be a corporation. Most corporations aren’t public-traded behemoths; they’re closely held, either by a single owner or small group.

So, given all that, yes, I’ve had countless, generous experiences with corporations. There have been so many pleasant encounters over the years, when owners and managers put my satisfaction above the day’s profit.
