There do seem to be a lot less winning cups this time around...
I work at a video rental store. We try to make courtesy calls but that's all they are is COURTESY calls. Renting is YOUR responsibility and it is your responsibility to return the DVD on time. They are losing money for every day you keep that rental. Frankly, after 32 days, I'm surprised you only paid $22
Funny...that "pure BS" has been making news where I live. It's everywhere that due to crop problems, tomatoes and green peppers are sparse. So don't be so quick to judge.
HAHAHA! A plane in the way? I'm sorry, I'm not laughing at your complaint because I would be right up there complaining with you. But you gotta think, how did the pilot not notice that plane until it was RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM?
Taken right from www.walmart.com

You don't have a case when the writing is right there on there website.
I was trying to be polite, Mandilt...you should try it sometime
You know, Irish, I have backed some of your comments because underneath the harsh words, what you have said has made sense. Unfortunately, you just ruined any ounce of common sense I thought you had. Good luck with grade two...your intelligence should just about fit in, there ;-)
The reason they ask you to pull forward is because they are on a timer. The longer you sit at the window, the more trouble they get into. And before anyone goes jumping and saying, "Then they should be on the ball and have my order ready!", think about this: sometimes the food needs to cook. Personally, I would rather wait a few more minutes and have fresh food than have rapid service and food that's been sitting around for an hour.
I can totally understand your frustration, however I must point out this one tidbit, directly from American's website:
"When travel is completely within the U.S. including Puerto Rico, and on flights to Hawaii and the U.S. Virgin Islands, recommended check-in time is at least 90 minutes prior to departure when checking baggage, and at least 60 minutes prior to departure if not checking baggage."
Glad you got to (finally!) check your bag! :)
I just have to ask: why would you question the condition of the DVD? If it was brand new, chances are very unlikely that it was defective in any way. I'm not saying you were trying to scam them; I just understand their skepticism.
Bingo, Stealth...it drives me crazy when I hear someone say, "I had to wait for food!" Yet if they were served promptly, but were given stale, three-hour old food, they would be complaining about that!
No, if the plane hasn't left, they could let you on. But you'd have to check your luggage and all that fun stuff and then the plane would be really late. And all those poor people waiting on connections would be forced to miss them and they would be out money...it's a vicious cycle. Yes, it sucks that things happen and people miss their flights. But the airline can't make an entire plane late just because of one person, or one couple.
Why should one store have to be out for another's mistake?
Wal-Mart clearly states on their website: "The merchandise and prices available on our Web site do not reflect the merchandise and prices available in our stores." Therefore, the online prices reflect items bought online ONLY. Items bought in store are subjected to a higher price.
You stated that you don't know if she gave you the mat back or not after you handed one to her to have it scanned. Yet, in the very next sentence, you state that both mats were left in the store. How accurate can you be in stating that when you can't even remember if she gave you the mat back or not after it was scanned?
If they handed out money to everyone who complained that they didn't receive their change, they would go broke in record time. The reason for the phone call is to allow them time to count their cash drawer and ensure that a mistake was made. So in answer to your question, yes, I think a phone call is a good solution to the problem.
I don't work for KMart but I have worked for other large chain companies. At those places yes, you would have to make each purchase separately in order to receive separate gift receipts.
How well cooked can their food be when it's at your door within 30 minutes?
It's an escalator. Not "moving stairs".
It sounds like he could have been politer about it, but if he didn't turn away customers, he would never have been able to close the store.
I agree, Dawniette. Who knows what that person did with the food while it was in their possession. Maybe they left a refrigerated item out on the counter. Maybe it spoiled. Who knows? I wouldn't be impressed buying food that's been returned, that's for sure. And I don't think it's likely that someone would overspend by $130. Maybe $20 or so but $130? Seems unrealistic.
You're so right, Stealth. If the restaurant had been open, the OP would have been on here complaining about how he got old chicken instead of fresh cooked stuff.
A bit of free education for you, OP, it's "waiter", not "waitor".
Not to sound rude, but if you were that concerned with the chemicals in cigarettes, would you really be smoking them in the first place?
Call the number on the delivery slip and request re-delivery. I had this same problem and spoke to a family member, who is a Canada Post mailman, and he said the mail person is definitely supposed to attempt delivery before leaving notice. If your mail person continues doing this, email Canada Post and complain. They're usually pretty prompt.
