Joke of the Week:
Sorry, but I needed to vent!
I experienced the WORST customer service earlier today at a shop in town. I don’t want to mention the name of the shop because I’m not sure how I’m going to proceed.
On Friday I bought something from this shop. I paid cash for it. I took it home and found out it didn’t work. So today, less than 48 hours later I took it back to the shop and asked if I could get a refund. The girl in the shop told me “NO” even though I still had the receipt. I asked if I could get a replacement instead then. Again, this person told me “NO.”
I asked to talk to a manager now as I’m really not happy and I explained that I had bought the item, had got it home and it didn’t work. The manager just smiled and told me to my face that I was “OUT OF LUCK.” ???
No refund. No FREE replacement. GRRRR!
I’ll tell you what… I am NEVER buying another Lottery Ticket from there again!!

Today’s program was “Trivia.”
President Cathy was ruthless! Questions ranged from questions taken from Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader, answers taken from last week’s questions & answers, and some from Jeopardy. Those 5th grade questions were pretty tough too. We had 5 tables playing and each table was out after 3 wrong answers. Table 2 won $110.00. Table 5 won $65.00 and table 6 won $37.00.
