I was rather fond of our old company that used to deliver our cleaning products to us every Wednesday. They were this little old couple that had been selling cleaning products to businesses for twenty or thirty years and loved doing it. In addition to selling to the local businesses, they told me that they once used to supply all the janitorial products to the local schools, until they found lower priced providers online.

I never had the heart to look into finding a cheaper products supplier until they told me that they would be closing their business and retiring last spring. I am sure that they did not have too many accounts at the end and most of the schools had probably all switched janitorial products suppliers together but I was glad to stay with them until the end.

When I did have to start looking into a new cleaning products supplier, I was shocked to see how much cheaper you could get the same items online through new warehouse suppliers. I started saving hundreds with my new company but I still miss my old couple who took care of me for years. I wonder what they are doing now, probably lying on a beach somewhere sipping some fruity drinks while we are all earning a living.
