Cable companies bite the big one

February 25, 2012

OK so how many of sat down to write a letter after yesterday’s blog? Probably none so on to the next rant One of the thing that’s exactly like the USA down here is the cable company , although we have more choices than we did back home , the service still sucks we did an upgrade this week and they were “supposed to be here” between two and five. Guess what they didn’t show and their excuse was the driver had a motorcycle accident. Even their sales department didn’t believe that one so they rescheduled for this morning between 8am and 1 pm, well as of now they’re a no show. Jeff told Ruby if they don’t show by 1pm call and cancel the upgrade that usually gets some off their ass to do something or at least get us some free cable. It’s one of Jeff’s pet peeves he hates to wait when he’s trying to pay for something he can understand the waits for customer service, even though he hates it, but when he’s trying to give you his money he expects you to be right there. He’s been known to leave full baskets in the grocery store or even in Wal-Mart just because he had to wait in line and usually when he goes someplace else not only do they take his money faster it’s usually cheaper. Maybe waiting in line is just a hint you shouldn’t shop in that store. The problem is most people don’t have the time to shop around and get better service and better prices so they accept the bad service and pay more just so they don’t have to get in their cars and drive to a different store. They’re either in a hurry t o get back to work or get home and watch the game, oh and occasionally pick up the kids. How many of you have gripes like that this is a good place to let them out plus the more you keep Jeff busy answering your comments the less time I need to sit on his bone lap and write all this dumb stuff. Now listen I don’t mind writing this stuff but it’s Saturday and no Hari so I get to rest up so see if you can come up for a topic for tomorrow I’m tired and going get a drink and go lay in the sun Ciao.
