I have been a customer a lot longer than I have been an employee and that is a perk of the job just the same as most other people get if they work in an industry that allows perks or discounts.

My bugbear is people who ring up and threaten to leave unless they get a good deal, they should be allowed to leave as that is very different to calling up and asking can you give me a better deal as in many cases they can.

Why should any customer have to subsidise someone who is threatening to leave unless the get a drop in price or a free install, I say call your bluff and let you cancel.

That is matching a deal not calling up and threatening to leave, they are completely different.
