Snails - Response on Threads Part 7

[CES]

Nope. Yesterday was travel and nap day (i got home around noon, did laundry and dozed on and off all afternoon and evening and went to sleep by 9:30 ). I have to get caught up on both yesterday's and today's stuff today. sigh

Good morning snails. Good trip, be safe Tibs!
Glad you made it back safely, CES.

Dale: Caucus thing.

It was an eventful night watching the returns. Some surprises in the results. Heh, heh. Will be an interesting race, for sure. Fun to watch.

Late G'mornin, snails!

I'm lucky to have not been picked as a juror.

Back at work after...I think mah kittehs were happy to be back home yesterday evening. After the usual bout of sniffing to get reacquainted, they were tearing around the house.

Good morning MadO
Glad your kitties are discovering just how good they have it with you

 

[Katmar]

Morning, MadO....happy kitties makes happy daddies!!

 

[MadOzodi]

Yup-yup...I missed them! It was so nice to have them back. I had to interrupt their play so I could pick up Zuzu to give her squeezes & snuggles.

So, MountBaker found my istick to BE defective and have offered a store credit OR replacement. Why can't I get a refund? What if they send me another defective one? Plus, I don't like their liquids because they have VG in them and I can't take VG. Oy..

 

[AttyPops]

Because they're losing money the other way. Like running a charity and financing it out of your own pocket.

If they give you a replacement, they maybe break even (cuz they keep your $$), or at least lose less. If they give you your money back, they've "eaten" the costs on everything from internal time/people costs to device costs to whatever. Maybe they can get a device credit from the vendor, IDK, but still...

So order hardware if you don't dig their juice.

Thunderstorms and RAIN and wind, in Michigan, at the start of February. Feels like April and spring storms.

You know what that means, right? Yep. It's "Wet Burrito" for dinner night*.

Flyby. Hi snails.

--------------------
* A "Wet Burrito" is basically a giant closed-end beef or beef+bean enchilada, smothered in cheese. Often insulting the tradition further by packing lettuce and tomato inside. It's a confused bit of culinary tradition, not unlike confusing Winter and Spring weather on Groundhog Day. The fact that it's sloppy, floating in a puddle of sauce, is a bonus.

No jalapenos?

gotta disagree, atty it's an accepted cost of doing business, especially when it comes to defective items how would you feel if walmart told you you can't get your money back for something that's proven to be defective when you're standing there with your sales slip in hand?

in other news - i'm beat! another 9-hour day of driving and waiting - just told dh i don't even know how i'm going to get supper on the table! the good news - spark's wbc is holding steady and the tumor shrank a bit more. slow going but they seem to be ok with that. 4th round of chemo scheduled for next tuesday and then there'll be a rest period of 4 weeks.

They'd probably tell me ....
1) Use the manufacturer's warranty, don't bring it to us we're the retailer.
2) We'll give you in-store credit.
