“I could tell you flat out that we don't partner with some companies, but because the culture, I don't want to say it's antagonistic to our culture, but it's not a good blend for our culture. And that's OK. That doesn't mean they don't have a good product, but we think about it holistically. I'm not just buying boxes. I partner with someone to partner with me to serve our own customer. It's a partnership.”
