Fight Club Tee Pt II
Oct. 21st, 2004 05:58 pmFor anyone even remotely curious, I thought I'd update with Part II of the thrilling T-shirt saga (give me a break. My work website is having technical difficulties). I think you'll see that Part II catapults us away from "saga" and closer to "wacky comedy of errors." Those interested in a review of Part I of our gripping story need do no more than clickety clickety.
A few days after sending off my returned shirt along with a self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE), I received the new XL tee, notably NOT in the SASE and way too fast for the seller(s) to have received the returned shirt. Hey, this was good....I gleefully envisioned the conversation that must have taken place between the partner that cared about customer satisfaction and the one that did not. I begrudgingly left positive feedback and went about getting on with my life.
Until today, when what did I find in the mailbox but my SASE and another XL tee. WTF?? Apparently partner #2's tragically stunted communication skills negatively affect more than just customer-seller relations. I'll be damned if I'm sending the second tee back, at least not without $5.50 shipping compensation. This is one of many reasons why it behooves people to maintain civilized relations as much as possible. I'm teaching partner #2 a valuable lesson, I am.
I figure I'll demand return postage be paid, or deny any knowledge of it, wait 6 months, and then try to resell the extra shirt on eBay. Because I can be vindictive as hell, don't you forget it.
