what did you need so badly that you had to steel from a blind person?

January 28, 2014 by stickbear Leave a Comment

update: I see another friend of mine expressed there displeasure on this topic as well.
go here and read it.
As someone that’s had his stuff walked off with in the past, this hits a little two close to home for my liking.
I’ll leave names out for privacy reasons, unless this person comments or you actually listen to the link I provide at the end, but to summarize.

  • what were you doing purposely watching this person to begin with?
  • What did you need, drug money? Alcohol? a new laptop? or something else that you couldn’t go get by not being lazy and getting a job.

The building this person lives in is so freakin’ secure, you’d better have a key to piss or your not pissing.
Ok, not really, but you get the point.
Why would you walk into someone’s apartment after basically stalking them, and steel there laptop.
You are a heartless, no good sack of trash that should be disposed of, off the side of the largist cliff available.
I hope when your standing at the gates of hell, your rejected by saten himself for your deplorable behavior.
Hell’s too good for you.
for a more complete accounting of this issue.
listen to this audioboo.
Thanks for reading.

an open letter to Keurig: lack of information does not make for responsible customer service.

January 7, 2014 by stickbear Leave a Comment

As a longtime user of
Keurig brewers and products
I’ve always ordered from the American site because of there extremely large list of available products, (235 to be exact) compared to
The Canadian site of keurig
that only has 86 choices.
So it came as a rather large shock when placing an order recently that 50% of my order could not be shipped to me.
I asked for an explination, and all I was told was that they had no information.
I then called customs and the CBA here in Canada and asked specific questions, and was told that Keurig should have this information and to call them.
After a little more digging by myself and others, we were finally furnished with a complete list of the products that were restricted, but still no precise reason for the restriction or a timeframe for it’s lifting.
We received the following message in response to this enquiry.

From: Jeannine Colella
Date: Tuesday, January 7, 2014
Subject: Restricted from shipping to Canada SR 81-344235529
To: (address removed for privacy)

I wasn’t impressed with the response, basically here’s a list, but I’m not providing any further information, deal with it.
I then composed the following letter to jeannine colella at Keurig.

—list ends here—
This is a rather large list, incumpusing 25 different products, that we in Ontario Canada have enjoyed purchasing from Keurig Inc. in the past.
On further review, no information has been provided to anyone regarding this rather large restriction, and the Canadian boarder agency, (CBA), as well as Canadian customs indicates that Keurig would have been advised in written form upon the first returned shipment as to why products are being restricted from being imported into Canada, specifically Ontario.
Upon myself and many others asking Keurig for a reason why, absolutely no reason has been provided and the blame has been passed to Canadian customs.
I am asking at this time for an official stance from Keurig on this matter, and for a written reason, (not just heresay) on why this restriction is in place, and a timeframe for when this restriction will be lifted if Keurig knows this information.
I am also asking that your website
www.keurig.com
be immediately updated with a complete list, and reason for the restriction so Canadians are aware of the restrictions in place.
Also, please ensure all telephone agents are also advised of the restriction, and what it incumpuses so they may advise residence that this effects, of the restrictions, to prevent disappointment when ordering.
Because of the nature of this matter, I will be posting my letter, along with any response by you or your coleagues, or a note stating your lack of a response, for public viewing on my blog as open communication at
http://stickbear.me
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely;
Shane Davidson

We’ll see what this gets me, some of you may think I’m wrong for riding them so hard on this issue, but I think we deserve answers, and someone will give us those answers, especially when the restriction was put in place with absolutely no reason given.
Talk to you next time.
