Complaint Thread

The agreement in our house is: one cooks, the other cleans up.  And we trade duties regularly.

Sometimes my wife does the prep work, and I do all the cooking.

Of course, this is only when we are using a slow cooker (but I do need to turn it on, and remember to plug it in).

It is not so much about the cooking but rather all the mess the process itself leaves you with. I honestly enjoy cooking as well, just don't always have energy left for the cleanup. Still when all's said and done, one can't beat the filling fulfillment in dining on your own dish.

Then make your kids do it! HA! Or you could just make Crock-pot meals. I made this super good Orange Chicken last month and it was SO GOOD! Since this is a complaint thread here;s my complaint.

1. I have gotten 10 spam messages on ebay in the last week of people offering  $200+ for <$100 worth of sets

2. Twice have people canceled/delay paying me because they have to wait for their payckeck on Friday! WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!

Well shoot, that was only name I thought I could trust.

TRU.  Ordered stuff using GCs online just before the liquidation started.  They've delayed the order to April 27, and will cancel my order at that time.  By then, the GCs will be unable to be used.

Go online to cancel the order, no go.  No option to do that.  I've been on hold for 25 minutes, waiting to talk to them to see if they can cancel via a real person.

Not that there is anything left in store to pick up, but I'd like the option of taking that $100 worth of GCs into the store, instead of just losing the money all together.

That's beyond frustrating.   As if this whole nightmare hasn't screwed over enough people already.

After a 1 hour, 5 minute hold, someone came on to help me.  I was told:

• After the initial 45 minutes of placing an order, the order cannot be cancelled
• They are trying "diligently" to fulfill my order
• If they cannot fill the order by April 27, my funds will be returned to me via e-Gift Card that I will have to use in store
• Gift Cards will be honored through April 21.

I broke her brain when I pointed out that April 27 comes after April 21.  She refused to let me speak to a supervisor, and told me that this is there current guidance.

So, I'm probably out some funds here, unless they magically ship.  I don't have a lot of faith.  Wish I would have just gone in store with the GCs instead of trying to do an online order.  I'm pretty sure I'll be SOL here.

I'd be kicking myself too, but they really shouldn't have allowed orders to be made if there's a chance they won't be fulfilled. I know it's all a last-minute scramble for those involved, but between this and other posts mentioned (like gift cards still on store shelves), it's all being handled pretty messily. Wasn't sure if messily was a word, but it checks out.

This has always been their policy or how their system was designed.  I am afraid you are out of luck on this one

Walmart Customer Service MANAGER Raveonne: "Can I help you?"

Me (Handing her the mouse, USB insert, and receipt): "I'm hoping I can return this. I don't have the packaging, but it just doesn't work right at all."

Raveonne (Turning the mouse over multiple times like it's the first time she's ever seen one of these fantastic pieces of technology and then taking the USB insert): "This goes with it?"

Me: "Yeah"

Raveonne: "Do you have the packaging for it?"

Me: "No, I don't have the packaging."

Raveonne (Still gazing in wonder at the dysfunctional technology bestowed upon her): "Huh. Well, if you can go find the number..."

Raveonne: "This is the receipt for it?"

Me "Yes, that's it."

Raveonne: "Is there a reason you are returning it?"

Me: "Like I said, it doesn't work, it's all messed up..."

Raveonne: "Huh" (She turns it over a couple more times).

From here on she semi-competently scans the receipt, asks me if I have the Visa I used to pay, enters the item number for the return, says "that's weird, it don't take it" twice (once before and once after slowly, methodically reciting each number out loud as she emphatically presses the corresponding key), then mysteriously tells me "Ready for your card" and processes the refund,  takes a piece of clear packing tape and completely mauls it while trying to tape the mouse, USB insert, and receipt together, and after laying it in a heaping sticky pile, finishes with "Have a wonderful day."

 

I'm so confused, I don't know whether to be upset at her and her employer for the complete lack of listening skill displayed by someone in this position, impressed and happy that my return was accepted without original packaging, dismayed at the void of common sense within this individual, or mad at myself for keeping it in my brain this long.

Do you guys get the same results?  I don't look for fake bricks, so I'm surprised this came up.

I watched the documentary, "Gringo: The Dangerous Life of John McAfee" and I'll never think of hammocks the same way ever again, totally ruined.

Just saw this part.  W.T.F.

It's on Netflix now.  Check it out at about 42 minutes in if you want to know.

Drivers who back into parking places in crowded parking areas such as churches, parking garages and yes, Walmarts, who take 20 seconds or more to park, only to have to pull back out and then back in to straighten the vehicle.

Going straight from winter to summer weather with no spring in between.  This year has been better with a cool spring in the East.

Impossible to open pet poop bags.

Neighbors who park in front of our home when there are plenty of places to park on the other side of the street.

Kids who wake up before 7 AM on weekends.

Missing out on website pricing errors such as Target, Amazon, and Walmart.  Happy for those, however, who get their orders in and delivered!

When the doctors office tells you to come 10 minutes early for an appointment, and you wait 20+ minutes to be seen.

That's nothing, in the UK it'll be at least an hour!

I once had to go to A&E (ER) with blood pouring out of my hand after slicing my thumb webbing with scissors while packing a Lego set to ship. I waited 5 hours with all the drunks and scum, then went home, used some Loctite Super Glue and then cut some narrow suture strips out of Duck Tape. A year later, I'm still here and not a scar to be seen!

Oh... the buyer was a proud recipient of some of my DNA as it was my last 600mm x 500mm x 125mm box, containing a Pet Shop. That set has never brought me luck.

I remember having a visit to an orthodontist during my high school years being a good twenty minutes early with only one other parent and their child in the waiting room both of whom were already there close to an hour before us still waiting well past their own appointment. We stayed there about two hours before leaving. I can't recall but I think it may have been a week at least (probably longer) before we got a call from them about missing the appointment and that we should call back to setup a new one. Yeah I don't think so.

Dropped the price on my 76047 Black Panther Pursuit at AMZ because of looming Long-term Storage Fees and sold for $63. Not a day later the listing is up to $75 with _NO_ Prime offerings. *Sigh* Should've done more research ..... 

PS: Only 9 listings left of this set - opportunity for some of you hoarders?
