Why is it?
Why is it that when I buy stocks using an online trading service, money is instantly deducted from my account, but when I sell stocks using the same service, I will get money after two working days?
Why is it that when there is a false transaction in my telephone/credit card/travel bill and I raise a dispute, I have to pay first and then prove that the transaction is false and then if proven, expect the refund in some weeks?
Why is it that when I purchase something using my credit card, the dues on my card go up immediately, but when I make an online payment, it would take 2-3 days for the "transaction to reflect" in the balance?
Why is it that when I use a prepaid service (shopping card, mobile phone) and the company has deducted an elephantine sum from my balance, I have no way of talking to a human in the company about this?
And after all this, why am I being given the sugar-pill that I, being the customer, am a King, and am most important to these large corporations running these businesses?
Is the individual so downtrodden and helpless in this corporation-led economy?

Yes. Who said the consumer is the king?? The consumer is the lowest of the low ... the sweet pill is just a myth. You should know this, you have been working in the service industry yourself :-) ... how many times have you tried to pull wool over your clients eyes?

Agreed.
But my client is not an individual, he's another corporation, who uses all his "corporation" powers against me :D
