That has nothing to do with it. The problem with the customer service is not them not honouring future discounts. It was them not being good customer service, the general rule in customer service is basically try and do what ever the customer wants. In this case they wanted a coupon (probably for 10-20% off extremely expensive lamps) after buying a $2000 mattress. This doesn't matter and should have been given immedi…

The problem is the customer agreeing that they want to buy something for a given price. Then a little while later they see an opportunity to get something for free so expect customer service to bend over backwards to make them a happier customer. They were already happy with their purchase, they just want to be happy. It is bogus "customer is always right" garbage, and incredibly entitled behavior.

It wasn’t free. It was 10% off another product while we still had most of our return time available. A customer should not have to return your product to receive a discount a week after. It’s a massive inconvenience on both sides that could be avoided just by honoring the discount.

IPOs have precipitously declined since the 90s. In 1999, there were 486 IPOs. There are now approximately 190 per year. [1] [1] https://www.statista.com/statistics/270290/number-of-ipos-in...

You're going to go with the dot-com bubble era for a comparison here?

I didn't mention whether I thought the increase in IPOs was worrying. (In fact, I do think we may be reaching/reached saturation.) IPOs per year is a highly volatile number [1], based upon lots of factors, such as perceived market conditions (sometimes by the underwriters, not the company IPO'ing). [2]
