Here's his photo ID that he presented instead of a proper plumber license, which is a fraud.
TDS (tds.net) cut me off from using newsgroups now without any prior notice nor referral to another service. What a bunch of losers...
I had a Grand shopping experience at DOLLAR GENERAL in the new store in a small town. Several days ago I bought stuff there and they gave me a receipt-coupon for "Spend $20 get $5 off", a time limited offer. Tonight I went there at 8:38 PM (they close at 9 PM). There was not a single person in the store except the cashier and the seemed to be a Mr. Manager. They did not tell me they close soon nor they told me anything while I shopped there. Then when I was sure I had $20 worth of goods in my basket (I thought I had something like $21 in my basket) I went to the cash register and she rang and i gave her $20 bill because the total was $20.02 and I said there you go I get a $5 off and presented the coupon to her. The manager came and he told me I can't get $5 off because I have not purchased for $20. They apparently were not ready to give discounts to guys (me) who fail in arithmetics at school! He said the $20 must be pre-tax. OK I said I will get a couple more things, but he said he can not reverse the transaction. Perhaps those are the Rules, but they could be a little more flexible. So I told him I need the $5 cash to buy gasoline, so I can't purchase that stuff full price, but I said I will buy just SOME of the stuff and leave some. He told me I can't do that, they won't do that, then he told me it is already late and I told him I came in at 8:38 PM and they did not say a word to me that the store will close soon. Then he showed me a watch it was 9:15 PM and I suppose I shopped there for half hour or so, so I said I'm sorry customer always wrong, he was unhappy and told me he will give my money back, although I said I still need the stuff, he told me it can not be reversed as he already started the refund process, then I said I will just buy some of those and he said no, because they are already closed (with a customer still inside), but suddenly he told me he can not refund my money because he needs my ID my driver license, and I told him its in my car, he told me go get it, he opened the door, I then remembered that I left my DL at home ([censor] my bad), about 1/2 mile away from the store, he told me I could get a Police ticket for that, I told him to relax, no big deal, although of course I AM WRONG ALL THE WAY! I felt like a criminal, buying for $19.70 not making for the $5 discount and the total was $20.02 which I thought was fine, so for the difference of those $0.30 they could just make an exception and I could buy from them a LOT MORE in the future, and I already shopped there 3 times before, but NO he insisted to a NO and lose a customer because of 30c and all that other [censor]. So I said you are hurting your company's name and I will not shop there anymore and he told me that will be fine. Again. I am wrong, but the whole coupon thing sounded like a complicated GIMMICK. They got me, they can't refund because my DL is at home! Sorry! never happened before! I guess I ran excited to get a $5 off, which I was going to use to buy gasoline for my lawnmower. I was stuck there, I was hanging there for minutes not knowing what to do, because they got my money they won't sell me goods, they will not refund because I got no ID on me and they will not sell to me again because the damn store is NOW CLOSED! So I thought well all you got to do is to call the police and get me a ticket so I can get my money back and go home from this [censor]ing new store with no customers! Then he finally decided to give my money back and I still thought I should still buy but oh well, not, they are closed, as they said, then fock it and I left. That's it. And I went to a FAMILY DOLLAR (old dirty store nearby), it felt very old and very dirty after the new DOLLAR-GIMMICK-GENERAL store. And I bought some stuff there, but I did not find the other stuff I needed and I think now, how this frogging corporate UNFLEXIBLE foxhole works for the People? ;-)

Johnson Plumbing & Tile (owner: KIMBERLY BURROW) or simply JAMES JOHNSON also known as JAMES A. JOHNSON and JAMES L. JOHNSON also JAMES LESTER JOHNSON and JAMES JOHNSON Jr. One of the addresses that he recently got a "Writ of Execution" on is 201 Lincoln Parkway, Columbia, SC 29203 where HALL MARY JO is the owner. This well known scammer deadbeat "plumber" Mr. JAMES JOHNSON (age in 2011: around 42 years old) has defaulted on car payments, scammed numerous people and wherever he lived he got kicked out or defrauded the owners in many ways possible. BEWARE OF THIS CON ARTIST(S)!
His (their) last known address in the year 2011 is or was:
201 Lincoln Parkway, Columbia, SC 29203
UPDATE: According to LLR Residential Building Commission of Columbia, South Carolina plumber license of JAMES JOHNSON obtained on November 2, 2007 (during the dispute with him) has lapsed on June 30, 2009 and has not been renewed. Thus if he is working as a plumber past that date, he is UNLICENSED. As LLR representative stated, he (James Johnson) will not be issued a new license until he satisfies the judgement(s).
We have had a truly horrible experience dealing with JOSHUA KOGER Sr. at KOGER IRON & STEEL WORKS in NORTH, SC (ORANGEBURG COUNTY). The man just won't keep his promises, is either extremely late or does not show up most of the time, severely underquotes his projects and does not finish his work, then keeps on collecting money from new customers and keeps telling that the money he got from us is gone (somewhere, but where?) and he needs more money even if the contract shows otherwise!, and so on, he seems to want to keep the money and run. The quality of his workmanship is very poor. Don't waste your time!
Wal-Mart Vision Center attempted to sell me used frames. I paid over $300 for the frames and the lens and when I was handed them the case was dirty and the frames were clearly used and had glue residue from the price tag and the company logo had letters missing. They told me they will reorder new frames for me. Just info.
Shaver was around $35 at the shelf but $50 at the cash register. WALMART store manager refused to sell at the lower price at the shelf even he saw it was there and not mislabeled. Walmart HQ told me by phone the store manager was wrong. I hope they fired the offensive store manager.
There's price manipulation going on at Walmarts a lot. Sometimes they charge me twice for one product. Once they charged me two different prices for two different weights for fruits. I suspect their scales are being manipulated.
I called Carports.com and I had some guy on the line in Boone, NC who did not seem very friendly and he treated me as a potential hassle, so I did not even bother to do business with them, and then... I've read BBB reports and a couple complaints websites and I am glad I did! I will take my time to find the best and the most reputable company before I spend my money or I will DIY!
I called Carports.com and I had some guy on the line in Boone, NC who did not seem very friendly and he treated me as a potential hassle, and he kept asking me if I'm gonna place an order today and he kept pushing me to pay a deposit, and after i told him that I need time to make measurements and to place a custom order next month, he told me that it was nice talking to me and hung up, which is ok, but, I felt being rushed all the time, as if something bad is gonna happen if I went ahead and did business with them, so I did not even bother to do business with them, and then... I've read BBB reports and a couple complaints websites and I am glad I did! I will take my time to find the best and the most reputable company before I spend my money or I will DIY!
