Best Buy
About a month ago I went to the Macedonia Best Buy to exchange my Olympus digital camera for a Sony digital camera under Best Buy's no lemon policy on their service plans. My time in the store was way too long because of unorganized employees and under specific policies. Any way, I left the store to go back to my apartment when on the way back I realized that I had left the batteries in the Olympus camera. I called the Best Buy immediately when I got back to the apartment and they said they would hold the batteries.
I went to go pick them up one week later. I was also purchasing a Linksys Wireless router. I went up to the counter to get the batteries, and after about 30 min of them looking around, calling people, and walking around with their thumbs up their asses, they finally admitted that they could not find them. The manager approved taking a 25-dollar discount off the router and then I bought 25-dollar batteries.
Another week later, I went to exchange the Linksys router for a D-Link router because the Linksys sucked (even with the latest version of Sleavsoft firmware) at the Montrose Best Buy. Every thing went extremely smoothly, except that after I left the store, I realized they did not give me the same 25-dollar discount. I went back into the store and asked why not. They said that they were not obligated to do so since they were not the store that authorized it in the first place. I called the Macedonia store from the Montrose store and they said that I could go there and they would refund my credit card 25 dollars.
A went back to the Macedonia store 3 days later to get the credit, and the manager refused to do it! I explained the situation, and he had no regard for my satisfaction. I was super pissed. The girl that was helping me before the manager became involved was by far the best Best Buy employee I have ever talked to. Thanks Billie! On the way back to the apartment that night, I got a speeding ticket!
When I got back to the apartment, I called Best Buy corporate and managed to get a 25-dollar gift card. At least the Best Buy situation was fixed.
Ticket
On the speeding ticket side, I scoped out where I got it (76 in a 55) and there is no way that the speed limit was 55 where I got it. I was pulled over about a mile after the 65 MPH sign, and there is no way I was drove a mile from where I was clocked. Hopefully I can at least get the points off my record, and at best, get the case dismissed because ether the cop doesn't show up or because the allegations (76 in a 55) are wrong.
Weekend
I had a nice weekend with Aunt Beth, my parents, and Scuzzy. We went to a neat little tea house on the east side (I think it was on the east side). We also went to Phnom Pen (Cambodian and Vietnamese) and to Sakura (Japanese) for dinner.
