Well this is more of a black holiday than a Friday. One year I was driving around three days before Christmas, and was T-boned by a congressman's wife while pulling into a parking lot. She said " I was looking over there for a restaurant and I didn't see you". Well I said when you are driving it is a good practice to look in front of you. I think she was drinking, almost sure of it. Police would not come because they said there were no injuries and shopping center parking lots are private property. I should have said my neck hurts, but I would have been lieing. Wonderful Montgomery County Maryland Police. I had a security guard drive up that was a witness. Well I was told "in Michigan we have no fault insurance". My response was this is Maryland and we know who's fault it is. She did not report it to her insurance and I had to contact them and then do a little of my own detective work. She was startled when she answered the phone and it was me. How do you get a congressman's home phone number and talk to his wife. Hey I'm good.
Oh I did manage to get the video game I was after.
Three or more years ago I was shopping online, I will not mention he name of the Bestbuy. But they had showed three guitar heroes in stock so I ordered one for pick up. Low and behold after that, they charged (put two week hold on the credit amount), and then sent an email to say it would be an hour to confirm the order was in stock. Well I was very busy so I went to the store. They told be the order was canceled because it was not in stock. I went to the shelf and picked up all three of which I was only wanting one. They said to take it up front and pay for it. I said I already paid online. I was told that it didn't go through. My credit card company said it did and it would take weeks to get a credit if it was canceled. So I was more than upset and refused to pay trice. The manager refused to help and said I would have to pay again. I left the product and have not made a purchase there since.
I think the whole holiday thing has gotten way out of hand. Soon we will see decorations up right after July 4th. Black Friday is in hopes the stores bottom line will get out of the red. With customer service like I just mentioned it's no wonder why some stores ar in the red, but Walmart rocks. Why don't we have them run our country. We would not be in the red.
Cheers.
