Standing Up For Yourself

How you can stop being abused by businesses.

Stand up for yourself.

As simple as that.

My kids,

over the years,

have been embarrassed by some of the actions I have taken to get

good service,

a bargain,

a good price,

or get my money back when I've been over charged.

All the
Businesses
I mention here I believe are good quality
Companies
except for one.

That one will be mentioned last.

Now,

I am being advised by a
Lawyer
friend of mine not to mention any
Corporation
by name in case they would get wind of my little
Blog
here

and get their big shot
Lawyer
talking to a
Judge
to have a
Cease & Desist
order sent to me
and I'll have to close up shop.

But here are some of the actions I've taken to get my money back

or get quality service.

I add up my receipts outside the establishment I was just at to make sure I didn't get cheated.

A local grocery store paid me back the dollar they over charged me

and I got a loaf of
Italian Bread
they make daily for compensation.

In restaurants,

(I usually check at the table.)

I've been given

Comps

because waiters try to sneak extra charges on my bill.

I went to the corporate website of a subsandwich shop because the person taking my order was rude

and messed up my order.

(The manager of the store in question actually called me two days later, asking when I could come in for a free meal on them.)

I return items to groceries stores

and department stores for myself

and my kids.

(They appreciate me now.)

I call directly

to a game console's

Corporate Office

to get a refund on a game that I was billed for twice.

I go to

TV Network Websites

either to complain

or compliment their service.

And when I do get good service lately,

I like to say,

"I'll Yelp you later!"

This is,

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
