Bad Customer Service List

So i decide to keep track of all the terrible customer service i receive because i'm sick and tried of being ignored while peole are waiting on me. yes, I am going to list the name of the company and i wil list the town it is in. So if you happen to see your company one day on here, you better straighten up your act. Basically , you need an improvement in your training services or you are probably hiring a bunch of idiots. Now this company probably tops my list in the worst customer service i had in a while. This happened last year: Olympia Sports: Middletown, RI. Long story short, I was with my mom at the coutner ready to check out when our counter girl was on the phone. We were waiting there to pay for our merchandise when she continued to keep talking about "her boyfriend that she went out with last night" -oh yes it was one of those customer service people. Anyway, my mom started to click her tongue and sigh deeper, hoping the attention of the teenaged girl would spark, however the conversation grew deeper. "Um really, can you believe he didn't call me? Like yeah, i mean like can you believe it? Well, that may be exaggerating but i'm sure the word "Like" was used more than 6 tmes in that sentence. Anyway, probably after my mom saying 3 times she was going to say something to her (and i know my mom, she never would have but saying makes you feel better) this kid ran up so fast , we didn't even see him coming to check us out. He apologized for the wai but never said anything to the girl. So after several conversations in the car about how rude this girl was, i decide to shoot off a letter to Olympia Sports Corporate about the experience. Almost immediately, i received a reply about how their employees are not trained like this and this situation will be rectified and for the inconvenience of the experience, she'll be sending us a gift car. Yeah, I got a $20 gift card for bad customer service. No, I wouldn't want free gift cards all the time but i pays to complain. Next victim: Victoria's Secret, North Dartmouth, Mall, Massachusetts.

Pushing Daisies is as good as it gets!

Pushing Daisies is exactly what the critcis have said all summer long. The best new show on TV. Don't tell me that Private Practice is the highest rated new show because what I saw was completely unwatchable. How can Kate Walsh's character become a complete idiot when she is playing the same person? Well, Daisies is refreshing, quirky, romantic and old fashioned all rolled into one. You want to know about each character more and more. I keep hoping if maybe Ned accidently touches Chuck then by some miracle maybe she won't die. But yeah that's not going to happen. And how could you not think that Olive's character wasn't going to break into song because you can't keep a voice like that quiet. And Chi McBride's character is sort of dopey in a keystone cop/law & order mix sort of way. Anyway, the show is great and hoepfully it won't become predictable anytime soon. Love the guy who does the narration too!!

Teacher Caught On Tape!!

So, you read that headline and think , "oh god, what did a teacher do now?" No, they weren't caught having sex with a student, no beatings of students, no harrassing the students.. Well then... what? A woman teacher wanted to get the attention of her students in her class so she performed a cheer. Suspended!! Take a look here:

WOW! I found my blog!

Well, I hadn't posted in a while because I actually couldn't remember what my password was. Nevertheless, I am back. Not that anyone is reading. However, let me start out by congratulating my Boston Red Sox. They have made it to the ALCS and will play The Cleveland Indians on Friday. Go Red Sox!! But let me give a word of advice to Manny Ramirez. If you hit a homerun (and of course I hope you do) please don't stand there and watch the damn ball fly through the air, just run around the bases.
So what's big in the news right now, not much really. Sick of hearing about Britney pears, Paris Hilton... Yeah... I thought Paris Hilton said she was going to plan to have kids within the next year? And get married? Good luck to that person...By the way Paris, lovely dancing on the tables at your sister's birthday party. So you're the reason why they say "white people" can't dance.
