Peterbilt's phonestore Odyssey

So where were you Wednesday night? Didn't you have an important server date?

Uh ... *kicks at dirt*

Here's what happened. My oldest son is getting ready to enter High School and we bought him a crappy phone 3 years ago for him to use. Well, it is really not a great phone and he has been begging for a new one. Wednesday at 6:45 I look at the clock.

"The store is only 10 minutes away," I say to myself. "That still leaves an hour at the store and I'll get back 20 minutes before the raid. Plenty of time."

So we head out to the store. Not much of a wait and in 5 minutes we're talking with the salesman. We had even shopped phones over the weekend so it went, "Hello Kevin. We'd like to get that Samsung phone over there. Transfer the telephone number for this phone to the new phone and set up the old phone on a new line for my younger son."

Easy peazy, right?

Well, at 8:15 he had just finished transfering the information to the new phone. At 8:45 we started working on the new telephone line added to the family plan. At 9:10 we were saying "Thank you" and "Goodbye" to Kevin and getting back into the car.

That's when the "low oil" light came on.

Luckily it WAS only low oil and after adding 2 quarts everything is fine. (My car is a 1990 VW GTi, so it normally uses oil.) Back home at 9:30, either the raid didn't come off because knuckle-head Petey wasn't there, or it is finished and went smoother than usual, because knuckle-head Petey wasn't there.

So, I'm sorry everyone for not being there. Hope everything went fantastic.

It's my life, why should I have a character named that also?

You think that is an adventure, you should hear mine with probably/maybe the same company. (for the company's sake and dignity [or lake there of] I won't mention them}

*cough*
AT&T
*cough*



Back to my story: it involves far too much vulgar language to be put up here, as I was not a happy camper with my service.

Mine was their competitor that starts with the letter "V". And the service wasn't bad, it was just painfully slow. Got interupted twice so he could ring up sales for other customers. And me being nice, "oh yea, sure. Go ahead and ring up all those other people. I don't mind."

But I didn't blow up because this was the first phone my son got to pick out for himself and I didn't want to ruin it for him.


*deep breath*
*sigh*

Nah, wait until after your son has it and is out of earshot, THEN let the retard have it.



The first one, I would let go. The second one, I'd say something. The third one, I would prefer to speak to a manager.

/agree.

My visits to the actual store (Five times in all) were not bad, the people were nice and tried to help the best they could. It just when I pick up the blasted phone and call Customer "Service" for information and ways to fix the problem.
