Premium Saltines have so much breakage now, poor flavor, that like New Coke, this Nabisco/Kraft icon is going away if not corrected. I have tried Saltines too many times to keep finding awful crackers. I now realize this is the new cracker, despite the original looking box and my memories of childhood eating soup with my family. The brand image makes people buy with their memories. But that wears off. I now buy Kroger (their much better than the current saltines-and less $$ too).Kroger brand which ironically used to look like the Saltines are so much better. Only because Saltines have become so bad. every cracker in a sleeve breaks.Multiple lots/multiple codes. Kraft/Kroger have crossed qulaity paths. The store brand is actually better ! Saltinbes quality gone (more than down), Kroger to the bank improving. Nothing like a recession for customers to try something else. The store brand (well Kroger is so huge with their own manugfacturing( they are "a Brand"). Why would Nabisco/Kraft do this to themselves. Sales numbers have to be down. Complaints up. And the risk of not getting customers ever to return.

No wondere Private label is winning. Why would Nabisco hurt the beautiful blue box image.

Special ordered bathroom vanity cabinet from Lowes in early August 2009. Took 5 1/2 weeks to get it, was supposed to be delivered to store within 4 weeks. I had a contract with a bathroom renovator who was to start October 15, who stipulated that the vanity had to be ready to install when he started the project, and he would not remedy any problems with the vanity. He required a sizeable deposit, so cancellation was a problem.

When brought home and opened up in mid-September, the single central door was out of alignment vertically by 1/4 inch, the sets of three doors on either side were also out of alignment vertically by 1/4 inch, the rail along the upper back was bowed outwards by 3/8 of an inch, the left-hand side panel was bowed inwards by 1/4 inch, the left-hand upper cabinet was not fastened to the back rail, the only wood screws supplied were 10-2 1/2 inches long(required only 2 screws 3/4 inch!). None of the cabinet hardware could be installed as all of the screws supplied were either too long or too short.

Lowes was prepared to take it back and re-order, but as I explained I had only about 3 weeks to have the vanity repaired or replaced. The said it could not be replaced in time, as did Kraft Maid's so-called "customer service". They generously offered to send the correct screws, when received only 2 were usable. No offer to correct the other deficiencies!

Lowes, some days later sent a staff member to my home, and with my assistance and personal collection of assorted hardware, he did some "fixes".

I am not at all pleased, especially with Kraft Maid's so-called "customer service". The just could not give a ***! Last time I will buy a Kraft Maid product!

For 11 years my son was on my insurance policy. Jan 07 he got married while I was planning my own wedding for Oct 07. I planned after my wedding I would call insurance and update all the changes at once. NO where does it state that it must be done within 30 days on our company insurance documents for dependant children. So 5 weeks after my marriage my son had a fatal car accident. They denied his claim and appeal. But hay they can still steal $ 500, 000 from bailout to go on a retreat but deny a $10, 000 claim.
Beware of the insurance company hidden ifs so they can deny your claim and have a party for themselves saying oh we saved the company this amount of money. Yes and lets not forget the golden parachutes of the executives.
