Retail / Services

Why do you suck so bad. Constantly dropping calls and constantly spotty internet connection. Fix your sh*t!

The employees that work there are snobby, rude, and generally unhelpful. They answer questions as vaguely as they possibly can and it's infuriating. I have never had a good experience in that store.

Why does Wal-Mart have 30 check out lanes and only 3 open? It's not just the ones in Athens, it's like that at every Wal-Mart all the time!

Come on people, it is childish to to try to get service after a store is closed. If there are closing announcements or obvious signs that a store is about to close, I do the respectful thing and LEAVE. The people working at the store are not robots, they have lives at home and other things to do. I could understand if you are maybe 5 or so minutes late or have some kind of emergency, but half an hour late is ridiculous. Furthermore, don't send some whiny e-mail complaining about the fact that you did not receive any service even though it would have 'only taken a minute'. Anytime we help one extremely late customer,inevitably several other people congregate and demand service, just like the other person. Who could blame them? This has happened more than once, always ending in people literally shouting obscenities at us. The fact is, we had been closed for over half an hour. After we have spent about 10.5 hours at work and our multiple "closed" signs are clearly posted, why must people always ask us for something? Sometimes we have to close to the public so we can get something done such like cleaning and preparing for the next day. Believe me, I would much rather get out of there so people don't come and tap on the window and get all upset. We were open to the public for 10 hours and we would have opened again in about 12 hours... if you can't get there in that window of time, please go somewhere else. You could have gotten your item at a different store. Although you said that you had previous retail experience and would have gladly stayed open, I find that hard to believe... it seems that you are a little dense and have no experience living in the real world. You did not listen to our explanation of how we were not able to simply hand you what you wanted, there was more to it than that AND a line would form causing us to stay even later... you just walked off in a huff! Before e-mailing some giant complaint, you did not even bother to listen to our explanation?

didn't like the f**ker who was working today.

apparently, the owners are pretty s**tty too... hmm. So I guess it's not the little f**ker's fault. Well.. he wasn't so little.

I love my little dog. Sadly, the only pet store near where I live is Pet Supplies Plus, and to be honest, my dog hates it there. Last time we went there, she peed on the floor and expressed extreme displeasure while in that store. Don't know what it is that bothers her, the people who work there, or the crazy nuts in the hospital next door. Honestly though, the employees there don't seem very enthusiastic animal lovers anyways, only students reluctant to come to work to get a pay check. Whatever it may be, I think it's an energy my dog doesn't like, and I won't be going there again. I'm not trying to bash them or something, well... maybe a little. It's nice to know the employees there are offer to clean up after your animals' accidents, but if you're an owner who would let someone else clean up after your pets' messes, you probably shouldn't have a pet... just saying. But that's just my experience though. They are close to Kinnicun's though... :P, I like kinnicun's.

However, I discovered a store that's past the Sam's Club, Mary's Tack and Feed, and I've got to say she (the dog) loves it! Nice people ( better looking people) and definitely higher quality service. I get her nails cut there and everything; $20 lifetime cuts, it pays for itself. Most of all, I think the people who work there probably get paid more and have more experience with animals. My dog always gets treats when she goes. She's always excited to see the people there, and she's always pulling me inside the store. She has probably associated the smells with treats and happiness or something stupid like that. I just wanted to let the people of Athens know that they're doing a great job. I'm definitely a repeat customer. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who owns a pet. I just think that my dollar is better spent there and I just feel that its good karma to get the word out.

The Pet Smart on 316 ain't too bad either.

Why don't you quit trying to rip students off and focus on delivering a better service hmmm?
My internet is slow and you won't fix it. it's supposed to be at 5megs.. but instead it hovers below 1. My television channels, apparently, will have a filter put on soon... and I'll be paying what? $60 a month for $hitty service and no TV? Really? No thank you. If you aren't going to fix it, I'm going to satellite, or Bellsouth/AT&T. It's already a cash cow, you have no enormous expenses in comparison to the cable that you laid down years ago. It's a horrible experience, I'm going to let your company know, and I'm going to let all of Athens know just how I feel:

Charter, you suck suck suck suckity suck. I would not recommend it to anyone! Go else where.

When the big f---ing sign says "15 items or less" that does not mean "Get in line with 30 items and split it into two separate transactions".

I'm not even talking about a group of roommates shopping together but paying for their own things separately. I'm talking about one person splitting up their purchases into two groups as if that makes it OK.

I'm sick of entitlement whores.
You are not special. You are not a unique snowflake. The rules that apply to the rest of us apply to you too.

Dear East Campus Bookstore,

I went to your store to buy some used books for college, as I am middle class and relatively broke. Not only do you overcharge for books considerably, and forget to TAKE OFF the stickers on the books where you charged LESS at one point in time, (just putting the higher priced sticker over it), but you charge the same price for a theatre book that looks like it was vomited on, ran over, and left in the gutter as you do a regular looking book. As I explained to the manager my logic, (that I should, in theory, pay less for the puke-tastic book, if I could still read it and peel off some of the dirt), he stares at me blankly and repeats several times in a broken-record voice that "they just don't do that, and all books are the same." nevertheless, I got a book I could read, one where the spine WASN'T torn, and puke-tastic book, which still costs eighty bucks, remains at the store. You @$$holes.

Thanks for the worst service ever you retards. How hard is it to send me a godda*n modem? Really guys? Placed an order in JULY - told it would be there in a week. Spoken with six people since then, each one of whom I asked to have it expedited since I need it for school. And you guys still had me scheduled for SEPTEMBER?!?!?! I'll take Charter's nagging over your incompetence.

God, you folks don't deserve a job. da*n incompetents.
