Last week Elvis Aaron Schwarz got a new credit card. He activated it and then decided to break it in by buying a notebook computer at Office Depot in Gainesville, Florida (if Gainesville has more than one Office Depot, I'm sorry you're getting picked on because the manager at the other Office Depot is a dip stick). Elvis was going to use the computer at work to put in figures when he's on a water testing site. Obviously, his employer should provide him with the tools he needs, and they should pay him decently, too, but they don't.
EAS went to the cash register with the computer and his new card. The cashier swiped the card and the screen said to request an ID. Elvis showed her his ID. Then, through some error, the screen said FRAUD.
The manager said, Yeah, he looks like a deadbeat.
Elvis told the cashier that he didn't blame her for the problem and it wasn't her fault, and then he told the manager that if he said one more word he would f&*(^%! throw him through the window. Then he said, That's my truck right there. You can see the tags. Call the police if you want.
Office Depot manager, even if you think fraud is being committed, then you can still be polite in handling it unless you know for a fact that the customer is trying to get away without paying for your crappy merchandise. After all, sometimes machines and cashiers make mistakes. And you better not ever call my honey bunny a deadbeat again.
My sweetheart gets up early every morning and works hard all day long to make sure that people like YOU, dumb manager, have safe water coming out of your faucet everyday. I don't think many people appreciate how important Elvis's job is and that besides testing the water, he gets parasites from the poopy water. He also has to deal with all sorts of things that people flush that are not intended to be flushed. He shrugs it off and says it comes with the job.
But being called a deadbeat shouldn't be part of Elvis Aaron Schwarz's life.

I'll never shop at Office Depot again, either, Elvis.
Infinities of love,

Feel free to visit my web page ; Loans for Bad Credit
Anon, Obviously you are a genius. You should be grateful to me, and I am impressive with every single paragraph I write. If I visit your Web site, is there a place where I can leave some dumb ass comment for you?
DeleteFirst I would have stood at the register and call about the card, then I would say and call the store managers district manager and made a genera nuisance of myself. Then I would have thrown him through the window. Asswhipe!
ReplyDeleteYou and Elvis have quite a bit in common. He's somewhat more restrained, but I love you both.
DeleteLOL regarding Anon. Well, I couldn't shop at Home Depot if I wanted to since they done shut it down in these parts.
ReplyDeleteExcuse my grammar.
Look at me. I done already run one store outa business before i even tried.
DeleteDang it. I meant Office Depot.
DeleteIt's okay. I knew what you meant. Home? Office? Sometimes your home is your office or your office feels like home cuz you're there so much. Life is confoosing.
DeleteI'm thinking if I had ever talked to a customer like that I'd have been fired. DISGRACEFUL.
ReplyDeleteAs for your anon comment... BWHAHAHAHAHA! What is it with these lately... I have them everywhere on my posts! I block anon comments on one post and they pop up on another. Weird.
Some people really get away with shit, don't they? I think I'm going to start responding to more anonymous comments and commenting at their sites if possible. It might amuse me, and I live to be amused.
DeleteOffice Depot just delivered a 4-drawer filing cabinet today & brought it upstairs to my studio. Should I put it in an envelope & send it back? Oh, wait a minute--that was Staples. Never mind.
ReplyDeleteThank God. Had it been Office Depot I would have been forced to insist that you return the filing cabinet. I know you would have complied.
DeleteOK, they're on my list now :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, true friend.
DeleteGood Lord, that's a firing offense right there! I hope Elvis complained right on up the chain of command.
ReplyDeleteHe didn't, but I've just sent him an email encouraging him to do so. He doesn't like to call attention to himself. I told him that if he doesn't want to complain that I will write a letter to the district manager on his behalf.
DeleteThat's terrible! I hope you have put in an official complaint?
ReplyDeleteWow! That is awful!!
ReplyDeleteI am visiting your blog for the first time. I am your newest follower. I would love for you to visit my blog and follow if you like.

I'm sorry that happened. :( But I love seeing you jump to your honey bunny's defense. :D
ReplyDeleteIt was Gainesville, home of the Florida Gators...rude is taught in school. Alright, that was low, even for me. Go Noles! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd thank EAS for making our water safe!
Poor Elvis. I won't shop at Office Depot either!
ReplyDeleteElvis thanks all of you for your concern, but he said he just wants to get on with his life and not carry on a crusade against Office Depot. Happy Birthday, Honey Bunny!
ReplyDeletePoor Elvis, he didn't deserve that. It makes me want to cry! But I see from the comment you left above mine that he wants to move on...so that makes me happy. I feel so emotional right now! :)
ReplyDeleteI know how infuriating that situation is. Years ago, we were trying to buy some appliance or another from a Sears store, and the dipstick manager said, in a very loud voice, I might add, that our credit was NO GOOD. That was BS with a capital BS. Which my husband told him in no uncertain terms. Also in a very loud voice. (Talk about humiliating.) Turns out, our older son is a Junior... and the credit issue was HIS.
