Unbelievably, I have secured the transcript of the one meeting that was held before Weeks Points was rolled out:
"So, ya think we will make more money forcing people to combine deposits than we will lose from people quitting?"
"Ya think folks will notice they have to combine deposits?"
"Well, most of our members have no idea what they own or how it works, but, if they do, there's always the newer members, the ones who never have gotten really great exchanges like our old members used to."
"Yeah, & if the newer members aren't happy, there's always the members yet to come. We can sprinkle a lot of sugar on it, and they will eat it up."
"I have an idea . . . Whenever we talk about it, let's never mention ya have to combine deposits. Let's only use examples where they get credit back."
"Great idea!"
"&, we can always slide stuff over to rentals."
"OK, all in favor say Aye."
"Aye."
"Aye."
"Aye."
"OK, let's get outta here. Who's buying?"
