As always I arrive at the end of this thread.. The one thing that needs to reminded of this is a written msg area.. so many times it can easily be misunderstood. I met my wife 20+ years ago.. we courted on the net before. Many times I would say something tongue in cheek.. she would misunderstand, to which I would be scolded for something I never meant in seriousness. Then spend lots of time explaining. I am not saying there is not hostility.. we just all need to remember there is no nonverbal signals. I self deprecate all the time. Some people might misinterpret this as hostility.. it is not..
Just don't take things as seriously.. we have this new abnormal. With or without it.. we have to laugh our way through.

Sorry, but I need to vent!!!!

I experienced the WORST customer service today at a local store.
I don't want to mention the name of the store because I'm not sure how I'm going to proceed.

Yesterday I bought something from this store. I paid cash for it. I took it home and found out it didn't work.

So today, less than 24 hours later I took it back to the store and asked if I could get a refund.

The girl working at the store told me “NO” even though I still had the receipt. I asked if I could get a replacement instead then.
Again this person told me "NO." I asked to talk to a manager now as I'm really not happy and I explained that I had just bought the item, had got it home and it didn't work.

The manager just smiled and told me to my face that I was "OUT OF LUCK."

No refund. No FREE replacement. Grrrrrrrrr. .

I'll tell you what...I am NEVER buying another Lottery Ticket from there again.....

I understand that... like for example, when someone on here makes a joke, sometimes people take it far to serious, because it’s hard to pick up tone of voice/purpose of saying what you said, online. Texting has a similar effect.
