Loyalty should never demand reward. Loyalty itself is the reward. Else it’s just prostitution by another name. (This thought inspired by golf)
Nope. I expect my cell phone company to kiss my ass a little because I’ve been a customer since 1998. I know you wave the fees for everyone, but lie and tell me I’m special.
I think it’s a shift in the definition of “being loyal” to mean “I’ve stayed with you a long time” when it actually means “ I feel a bond that means I stay with you even though you have faults “
That everyone assumed ‘brand’ loyalty just shows how correct you are.
“Loyalty”
Now please continue to allow us to lie to you and syphon your data for our algorithm overlords.
But the expectation of reciprocated loyalty shouldn’t be ignored. The idea of getting rewards for loyalty are a cracked mechanism that exists because corporations can’t actually create reciprocal loyalty… And instead give you partly prizes in exchange for your extended consumerism.
Golf?
I think is referring to how a certain golf entity (league, tournament, company, I don’t remember exactly) asked golfers associated with them to not also play in a certain Saudi Arabia sponsored league, for which they would have been pretty well paid. Their reasoning was that their golfers should be “loyal” to who they were playing for, and their golfers agreed. This year that league decided “You know what we should do? We should partner with that Saudi Arabia league, and get paid handsomely for it”. Their golfers have rightly pointed out the hypocrisy.
Would you remain loyal to someone or some entity that betrayed your trust like that? Or would a massive payday make everything OK? If being lied to and being paid off makes it better, is that loyalty? If my loyalty is abused, it doesn’t get sold to the highest bidder. It’s gone.
Not looking to debate about the situation. Just trying to explain the connection between your post and golf
It’s called “common courtesy” OP – which does not need to be demanded by others, but expected. And if someone calls you a cunt for your lack and/or non demonstration of the former… then it 's not a demand, but calling your attention for your lack of knowledge/ignorance.
