Chavez Supplies Citgo

Thursday, January 31st, 2008

My new motto is “say no to citgo”. The next time you pull up to the tank and want to help us give Hugo Chavez a black eye, buy something else besides Citgo brand gasoline. Let’s supply and demand his butt right out of power.

Don’t Order These

Unless you want to belch all night long. I guess my last memory of eating Chick-fila Chicken Strips eluded me when I pulled up to the drive-thru last night. I sipped on Target brand anti acid all evening and somehow the little fellas kept coming at me. Maybe I’ll quit tasting them by the time I open my peepers tomorrow. Just wanted to give you a heads up.

Home Depot Harrassment

Friday, December 7th, 2007

What in the world ever happened to peaceful window shopping? I was at the Home Depot store on Strickland Road in Raleigh the other day just looking around for nothing in particular. I just wanted to kill some time on my lunch break and enjoying the time away from the office, but nooooo. I had three different people from their store stop me and solicit me. You can spot them out quickly because they’re all carrying around black clipboards. They were trying to get me to look at plans for a sunroom and some other stuff. What part of “not interested” don’t they get? I felt like I was at the mall getting the infamous, “Can I ask you a question”. Oh well, I guess Lowe’s Home Improvement would always like the business.

FBodyMotorsports Incompetence

Thursday, October 4th, 2007

I would like to preface my review with a few comments. I always seem to catch some flack for posting negative business reviews. I’m not too sure why, after all most people do read reviews and want truthful information about a product they are buying or a business they are buying the product from. I could always lie about my experience and paint everything rosy and let everyone get stuck in the same situation. Truthfully, I appreciate honest reviews and I hope you do as well.

With that being said, I purchased some decals and wheel centers for my Firebird back in early June through their website, fbodymotorsports.com. I won’t give them the benefit of me linking to their site, that’s for sure. Anyway, I called their store at the end of June and asked when and if my items were going to be shipped. They said they were behind a month on their orders and it would be a while. I called back mid-July thinking maybe I had given them enough time to fill the order since they seemed to find time to charge my credit card somewhere along the way. The person who answered the phone said they would make a note of it and get back to me the next day. Like so many other stories, the phone call never came. I called them back and demanded them get the man in charge on the phone and figure out what was going on with my order. He checked into it and I was put on hold. He said he found my wheel centers but the decals hadn’t come in yet. I asked him to just credit my card back for the expense of the decals and I’ll take the wheel centers. Finally I got the wheel centers the next week. A month later there was no credit to my card for the decals. I called them back and they said the order had never been placed to begin with and that they would get the decals to me right away. Man oh man, is there such a thing as incompetence times 1 million? If not, I think I have found it.
