Sears drama...

May 19, 2005 12:17

Chandra and I have never had a problem at Sears. We love shopping there. So when we needed a new lawn mower, we decided to get it from them. We spent almost $300 on the new mower. When we were checking out, I said, "So we need to add gas...and what else?" The salesman says "It comes with oil in it, and it's all ready to go right out of the box ( Read more... )

I think it's all your fault. You should have known you were to taste-test the oil.

Only kidding. I'm sorry. Your rant made me laugh out loud a few times, if that helps at all...Or could make you more mad...Sorry if that happened, too.

Super sorry about that lameness.

That salesman... if he told you there was oil in it then that is all you needed!
Who cares if it was only service oil, or even if there wasn't oil in it at all!

Anyways, I feel your pain.
I hope it works out for you!

I know it...thanks...

Normally I'm a pansy at confrontations, but everyone I talked to was like..."Really? Wow...that's not right." And normally even my FAMILY says "chill out" or "you're not always right" or something...so I was clued in that I was getting the raw end.

My sympathies. I totally see your side of it. You are not crazy. I'd be sooo pissed too. Avoid a trip to Saginaw by having Chandra sew you an unconspicuous costume!!!! Or use your Murky Dismal personality to fool them.

HAHAHA! I'd pay to see you two wear those costumes again. THEY WERE GRRREAT!!!
Miss you. Craig and I are going to Acapulco for a week. Wish I could take you with us.

And thanks!

ha!!! that's idiotic--you were totally 100% right--they're asses. NEVER suggest to the customer to look at it from the corporate perspective. frickin' sears is NOT hurting if they give you a mower--the guy lied to you! what a punkus.

We have totally been screwed over by Sears before and I’m glad you stuck it to em! When we got the tires rotated on Rachel’s car things just seemed to break every time we got the car back from Sears. After like 5 visits and $2,000 we got the car in working condition. I’m glad you fixed your problem relatively easily.
