<VV> Hagerty insurance,

[Mark Corbin]

It's not a matter of thicker customer skin. It's a matter of bad business
practices on the part of the insurers. If you've ever been treated badly by
a business, you know what I mean. And why should any customer put up with
being mistreated? Isn't the old rule of thumb, "the customer is always
right" applicable to insurance companies?
