fucking radio shack

[solarbird]

I took my old Sony-in-Radio-Shack-drag CD player to Radio Shack for repair. First, the lose it for four weeks. Then, as they're about to have to give me a replacement, it reappears at the repair centre. Two weeks later, they tell me they can't fix it because they don't have the parts, and I need to come pick it up. I picked it up, and it's been SMASHED ALL TO HELL. Seriously, it looks like somebody hit it with a hammer a couple of times and then made a whole bunch of grinder marks on the case. And along the way, took a prybar to the rear panel and cracked the plastic in two places on the front panel.

There's "nothing they can do" since I can't prove it wasn't in this condition when I dropped it off.

Yes, I will be taking this up the Radio Shack chain, and then to the BBB and the state Atty. General's office, why do you ask?

Peeve2: Posting to personal instead of community by accident. Gir. AntiPeeve: Posting it twice and editing this one! Muah-ha-ha!

Peeve3: Admitting to owning anything from Radio Shack except for, oh, cables or something.

Peeve4: Radio Shack. FUCKING Radio shack. Gir.

Peeve5: Anyone who says that's a duplicate peeve. Fuck off.

Oh, okay. I was just wondering whether I should reply in email or here if I felt like saying something.

I can give you an access code for a free account if you want it.

Anna gave me an access code, I just haven't gotten up off my lazy posterior and set it up.For me, after work is do-stuff-outside time. It's still relatively warm, so I'm trying to get anything that needs to be spray-painted done. Finished the Archiecon trophies. They may not look like much, but the amount of time put into them surprised me. Mostly painting,waiting for this coat to dry, or that epoxy to set up.
I make clocks and lamps as sort of..well, functional experimentation in materials, paints and adhesives..and recycling. New electrical parts and clock drives,everything else recycled. Kinda fun.I usually give them away...Scott

The good thing about having an account is that it would send you email letting you know people have responded to posts and comments you've made, and give you links back to them, as well as the text of the reply itself. So you don't miss anything, unless you want to. ^_^ Ir's quite nice, really.
