Screw you Flip Flop Station and Georgia Square Mall

Dear Flip Flop Station owner,

Thank you for convincing my mom to pre-order my new rainbows while you were out of stock and pay for them, so that I could pick them up three weeks later. OH WAIT--YOU CLOSED YOUR STORE AND DISAPPEARED three days before I could pick them up. Oh and I couldn''t dispute the charge with Bank of America because you had incorrect contact information in all your receipts and stuff. NOT TO MENTION the Georgia Square Mall office never would return my numerous phone calls regarding the matter and the BBB couldn''t dispute the claim because its a franchise. And leasing man at the mall told me he couldn''t give Bank of America the information about the person that leased the store. I HOPE you come back this summer Flip Flop Station. I still have my receipt and plan to raise hell for my $56 or flip flops. Crooks.

Thats messed up!

I wouldn''t have bought/ordered anything from those pseudo-businesses anyways, but the fact that they totally screwed y''all over will only hurt them and their ilk in the future. I''d definitely recommend writing a letter to the editor in ABH, better business bureau (do we have one here?) ad nauseum

Number 3 was supposed to be writing a letter to the Editor in the Athens Banner Herald. I don''t know if Georgia Square Mall cares about bad press in the Opinions section but at least you''d let other people know that they won''t get involved in disputes with the merchants there.

1) Your mom should be disputing the charge if she''s the one who paid. Escalate the issue to someone higher up at the bank. If she paid with a credit card she should be able to do a chargeback.
