My Floor Fluffy, Part Godonlyknows
Dec. 11th, 2006 08:13 pmOh for fuck's sake...
Got home, opened mail, found envelope from Home Depot with a reciept and a piece of paper with a big fat PAID IN FULL stamped on it. Apparently Depot got bored waiting for me to get a Home Depot credit card and charged the remaining amount (over $2,500) my MasterCard/bank account. Y'know, despite the floor being, uh, NOT DONE YET.
I was on the phone to my local Home Depot and demanding to speak to the manager within three minutes of opening the envelope. Something in my voice must have clued in the hapless peon at the other end that this customer was majorly Unhappy and I got the manager within a minute, which for Home Depot is an unprecedented record. Turns out the old manager whom I'd negotiated my deal for the replacement flooring no longer works there. *headdesk* On the plus side the new one couldn't agree with me fast enoug hthat she was going to take off the charage and get my installation completed. Which mollified me somewhat, but didn't change the fact I think I damaged my heart from the stroke I suffered when I'd thought we just got a $2,500 hole in our checking account right before the holidays.
I swear to Christ I'm never getting ANYTHING installed by those idiots again...
