This is really getting to be a thing with me... Making it hard to spend my money with a business. This is another example.danh600 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 06, 2019 10:33 amAnd dealers wonder why business is declining.fontanaman wrote: ↑Wed Nov 06, 2019 1:29 am The past couple of weeks I have had my eye on a 2015 FJR ES for sale in Butte Montana with just under 10k miles for $7995. The dealership was not responsive to my requests for quality photos about about scratches on a saddle bags. (they did disclose they existed.) They said they would send me photos by email with better resolution of the scratches - they didn't. I called them more than once asking for better photos and they were non committal. Finally I said screw it and would drive seven hours to see the bike and scratches. So I asked to take the bike for a test drive when I arrived. They said I'd have to buy it first and could get my money back if I'd didn't like it. I said forget it.
In this day and time if a dealer doesn't want to send photos they are hiding something. I bet that bike had worse problems then described.
Go to get my license stickers, sit there for 30 minutes only to be told, after I asked, why they weren't serving anybody - System is down. Not much I can do here except bitch and return.
Go to buy snow tires at Costco. They don't sell wheels in the store, I have to order them online and bring them in when I get my tires installed. But I can't buy my tires now because they won't hold them for more than 2 days. They won't guarantee that the chosen will tires will be stock beside right now. So I can buy them now and take them with me and bring the wheels and tires back on my install date. So I bought them at Canadian Tire for $12 more because they DID supply wheels.
Go to buy some deoderant - I have to hunt the entire store to find somebody to open the anti-theft guard. This is after I spend 20 minutes looking for some mens non-scented in the 8000 different kinds of deoderant they sell. Or, I can buy it for $2 at the dollar store.
Go to a different grocery store because its on my way (and actually closer to my home then my usual). I want a cart. I have to put a twoonie in the cart to get it to release. I don't have change. You expect me to walk in to the courtesy desk, stand there for 5 minutes and break a $20 to get a twoonie so I can spend my money in your store. f@$king HARD NO. I don't care that I'll get my twoonie back. Stop making it difficult!
.. and on and on... No wonder Amazon is steam-rollering the planet.
