Dear Which Which:

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

What I sent to Which Wich, assuming it got through their flash-based submission system.
Please, please, PLEASE design a website that’s not entirely flash-based! I want to be able to place an order over the phone and know what options I can choose, but all the possible condiments - spreads, vegetables, etc. - as well [...]

Surprise

They also support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent, as such weapons belong on foreign battlefields and not on our streets.
The Pink Lady does not approve.

Yay Apple

Friday, September 5th, 2008

I called back because I had one more day before my year anniversary of getting this battery and 1.5 hours of battery life ain’t gonna cut it. They forwarded me to a product specialist who made an exception for me and is shipping a new battery as I type. Now that’s what I’m [...]

WTF, Apple?

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

Normally Apple’s excellent with their tech support, but my call to 1-800-APL-CARE today has me flummoxed.
I replaced my MacBook Pro’s battery under Apple’s battery exchange program last September. Since then, I’ve racked up 96 charging cycles, and my battery is now at a max capacity of 4528 mAh. That’s 82% of its maximum. [...]

If it were April 1, I’d be happier about this article.

Thanks to my Uncle Carl, I now have a huge craving for peach cobbler. Warm. With ice cream.

Customer service: Two case studies

Tuesday, May 6th, 2008

Two recent experiences I’ve had with customer service:
1. Woot.com had a fake Wootoff on April Fool’s Day. Interspersed with the mundane battery sales were bags of Random Crap. For Woot neophytes, the Random Crap is like a holy grail: usually it really is crap, but some lucky folks get jackpots like Wiis, Xbox [...]

What a shame

Friday, May 2nd, 2008

It’s a shame that “Dee Cook Haters” didn’t do as they promised the police investigator and undo what they’ve done in terms of online postings, mail list signups, etc. This was really the work of a 9 year old?
The ironic part is that people searching for Good Morning Tree Company are going to [...]

Thanks

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

Thanks to everyone who’s contacted me. At the moment, the situation appears to have cleared up. We’ll see how many other mailing lists I was subscribed to (although I must give PETA props for being really friendly and helpful - thanks, guys).

Was that a threat?
