I’m back in the saddle

I’m back! I’ve been working long hours and kept really busy and was no where near a computer over 4th of July weekend. Sorry for those faithful visitors for slacking off. I haven’t had much time to surf the web for strange and fun things. One thought I was having was about poor customer service. I don’t know about you but I’ve had several bad experiences with a few companies lately. Bad products, bad service, slow, you name it. What has this world come to? Everyone is out there for the money and no one cares about doing something just because it is the right thing to do. Just one small example; my wife bought a chess set online for me. It looked really nice and had a good price. She figured she could find something cheaper online. We get the set and the box it came in was all torn up. Not just the shipping box but the chess set box was torn and ugly. The board is a mirror where the white squares are frosted and the black squares are mirrors. The felt on the bottom of the pieces was starting to come of and the glue was sticky from being in the heat. I start to play chess and every time I set a piece on a white square and take it takes some of the frost with it leaving a circle on the square. Then I find that even if I just touch the frost with my finger it comes off. After a year of playing chess, all the white will be gone and It will be a mirror with chess pieces on it. How much money do you think this company saved by using a crappy process?! Just make a quality product and go to sleep knowing you made something good and didn’t scam someone out of $10!!!!! Here’s a list of companies that I feel they or their employees have cheated or mistreated me recently; Toshiba, Kmart, Allen Patch Ford Mazda, Sundevil Auto, Orbitz.com

  1. Oh Man – harsh words, but true. Gone is the honest man. I did have a good experience with Hotwire. Booked a hotel with them then read the reviews on Trip Advisor about the hotel (you don’t know what hotel you are getting until the booking is complete). All were negative, and one even said “Alfred Hitchcock is alive, and wants his hotel back.” So I called Hotwire and they checked out the reviews, then refunded my money and took the hotel off their preferred list. Just follow through with bad customer service and let the powers that be know you are unhappy.
