Extremely professional in a world where contractors are no longer professional.
The will come at the agreed time, finish on the agreed finish date, and clean up behind themselves. They are very professional. I could not recommend another electrician more highly. His employees are as professional as he. You want an excellent job, call them!

I work for the airlines and have so many instances wherein I've had to spend hours trying to fix the issues that expedia has caused for those using their "service". Dates of travel are wrong, names are mispelled (to the point wherein TSA will not allow the traveler through security, but the airline cannot fix the error because it is issued through expedia and expedia will take an hour to "investigate" before advising us that it will take 6 hours to update the system and reflect the change), or the reservation is simply canceled without reason or explanation. These are just a few examples of the problems we experience due to expedia.com and each situation is very frustrating, time consuming, and in some cases cannot be fixed (holiday season flights are full and if a reservation has been canceled there are no options for the passenger).

If you choose to utilize expedia.com please please please review your booking thoroughly --- ensure the dates, times, and spelling of your name is accurate ... and then CALL the AIRLINE to confirm your travel!! Another thing to note is that expedia and all the other booking sites will obtain the best price they can so often times they will book a ticket through one airline for you to travel on another airline ... so they book through American for travel on United -- therefore the flight information will show American information but in small print it will state "operated by United" and the United flight information will be DIFFERENT ... the times of your flight will be accurate but the flight numbers never are - so obtain the specific flight information for the airline that is operating your flight as this will make your trip much much smoother at check in. Be aware and informed and your trip will be much less stressful -- and if there is a problem you can fix it ahead of time.

For the most part I recommend that people book through the airline websites as the prices tend to be the same as those on expedia or orbitz ..... the web fares are comparable .... and the booking will be much more secure (and if it is not then the issue will be the fault of the airline! ... if the fault is expedia you are on your own as the airline takes no responsibility). But if you choose to utilize these cheap sites (and once in a while the fare makes it tough to pass up) then just be sure to check and double check your itinerary.

Old, worn out equipment, almost non-existant customer service, revolving automated telephone system, what's not to love?

Did I mention frequent increases in prices and decreases in service quality?

If you have a comparable alternative, take it. Charter really does suck!

The Lansing Michigan pf changs has always been top notch, has been on my top two favorite list since it opened several years ago, I have been there at least 30 times, twice they messed up my meal or took too long, both times my meal was free and one time they gave me a free lunch coupon in addition. The changs lettuce wraps are wonderful, changs spicy chicken is great, the dali chicken is very spicy but very good, the szechuan by the sea was wonderful, the soups are great, I LOVE THIS PLACE!

The ladies at this branch are the best. I always feel like a person and not rushed out like a commodity. Corporate can learn a lot about customer services from their own branch.

Well, for the price this is one of the best. Just as it's name, smooth and excellent flavor. A perfect substitute in a Martini, if you don't appreciate gin. Also good with juices or straight.

Lowell Hamilton was definitely one of the greatest college basketball players to never play in the NBA. Anyone who ever saw him play at Providence St. Mel or Illinois can attest to his athleticism. Although he did not always get the level of recognition as some of the other 'Flying Illini' - such as Nick Anderson or Kendall Gill - he was a force to be reckoned with on the basketball court. More importantly, he possessed the kind of character and team spirit that appear to be lacking in the NBA today.

I went into Winco yesterday. All their lettuce was brown and rotting. When I got to the checkout, I said hello to the checker and she looked at me with something like scorn and mumbled something I couldn't understand. At the end of ringing up my order another checker took her place. I was facing her, standing a couple feet away, waiting for my Visa receipt. Instead of handing the receipt to me, she put it down on an item closest to her and turned her back on me without saying thanks or anything else.

I figure they don't want my money. Maybe I'll try them one more time. But if I get the same treatment, I'll stop shopping there. If they don't like their customers they probably aren't aware that it's customers that keep them in business.

Oh well, their loss. There are plenty of other groceries around here. Walmart has comparable pricing to Winco. Fred Meyer has good quality, though they cost a little more. Safeway and Albertsons are high price unless you shop sales or their store brand. I'd do my weekly shopping at 7-11 rather than be treated like I was at Winco this last visit.

I feel that the people who come to Oxford feel welcomed and are taught the word of God in a positive way. The grounds have nothing to do about the teaching inside the church. There is still plenty of room for any dog to roam or children to play in the front of the premises. The new building project is just an office for the local Presbyterian churches. The construction will enhance the teachings at Oxford and other churches, not destroy the look of the neighborhood.

Neither a borrower nor a lender be;
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.

better than reasonable... oh yeh their overdraft fees are debaucherous like all banks.. the service industry took a huge dump during the bush epic so... i'm not expecting the service like it once was before that period in our lives... so...................... overall.

chevychase opened an account on my terms.. i had my i.d. and all i needed except for my spouse who didn't have i.d. (state issue but local work issue) and they created a joint account (savings) and that was it.

not all branches are created equal.. some will almost serve you caviar and champagne metaphorically in quality of service, including a smile. but some, such as one branch got a real bee up their rectum for the holidays and decided not to take an account and redeem a bond... so thus we were broke for 2 solid weeks, nearly going without the basics including medication... (serious problem.. and that branch KNEW me, i went there every single freaking day of the year! suddenly they don't want to redeem a bond (which is what they did frequently for us.) well, that left a sour flavor and i didn't do any more business with that particular outlet... (thus 8 months later they moved and were replace by a PNC bank)

the branch i enjoy functioning my accounts with.. did me several favors... after finding out i misbehaved with my savings account.. i was automatically switched to a checking.. i found out online the hard way and had to call the service number and talked with a rep who was very functional.. explained everything and also converted my checking to something that more suited my ability! that was excellent.. i appreciated that.

i had some trouble with the atm cards.. timing and computers but finally at my local branch it was fixed and now i'm back on track...

last but not least... recently paypal and i had a timing mishap a rather big disagreement on when funds were to be ejected from my account and whammo! i was overdrawn.. but not by much.. get this.. $5.00.... when i went to my favorite branch they alerted me that my deposit was just sucked away by the overdraft fees.. thus they made a fuss and told me to talk with the management and contest the fees... the manager was very busy while i sat and waited.. didn't think i was going to get anywhere with this idea they presented to me.. (i was just going to let it sit.. i mean come on, overdraft overshmaft.. it happens that's what i get for spending MY OWN money...) but, before i knew it, i was called back to the tellers who were fussing over this whole situation and talked to me and showed me paperwork on what they did...

they applied a few elements and got my money back... they eliminated the fees and there i was.. back on track again.

that was very nice...

i will surely miss that branch i go to... you don't always get treated like a humanfreakingbeing!

so far, so good, knock on wood. with my experience with chevychase it's better than average..


so far.

:D

thanks to those tellers and representatives where i do my biz.

They SUCK!!!!! We rented a 24 foot truck and an auto trailer for our move from Oregon to Ohio.....We were having an awesome trip until we were in the middle of nowhere Illinois. After stopping for gas and getting back on the freeway there was a sudden band and continued popping noise coming from the engine. We stopped at the nearest exit and called "roadside assistance".....I was advised "there is nothing we can do for you keep driving", We got back on the hiway and at the next exit stopped again and called....We can't do anything for you keep driving until the truck quits running, we are still out in the middle of nowhere Illinois. I keep driving until the truck is loosing power, about 45 minutes from the first phone call. We stop at the nearest rest stop and call AGAIN......I ask how much longer do I have to keep driving before I can get any assistance. I finally got a CS agent who was willing to at least tell me how far to the nearest town with a Budget truck rental.....It is now 9:30 at night. The next morning I find the Truck rental place and the agent working there (a 3rd party company) was awesome she said they had a truck but no one to help me transfer the load......I told her to get budget on the phone and get someone.....The load was not transfered untill late in the afternoon.....meaning we were stuck there for 2 days.....I was giving a new truck and advised that I would not be charged anymore money for the inconvenience......Keep in mind I was NOT given anything to sign for the new truck.....we finished our journey to Ohio...returned the truck....then out of the blue on NOV 30, 2009 I receive a bill for 263.27 for returning the truck late......I am still trying to get this amount erased because I not told of any time limit for the truck.....As I see it as soon as the truck broke down their contract was null and void.....I will take them to court if needed....DO NOT USE BUDGET

They sell horrible knock-offs! BEWARE! They do not refund money at all- try contacting anyone there and you cannot get through- they will blame some non-existent department with e-mails that do not exist. They should be banned from selling- not only for copyright purposes but also for their fraudulent business practices!

MY EMAIL TO JETBLUE

I was treated with much disregard as a customer at Santiago airport on November 29 2009. I was late by 8 minutes as far as when they said they "closed" out the flight, and even then there was still about an hour left before takeoff. The airplane was still loading cargo and passengers were still boarding. When asked to speak to the supervisor I was told she was not available. When I asked to speak to any manager or supervisor they told me he/she was unavailable too. I am fully aware of the guidelines with respect to being at the airport on time and so forth, but in spite of this, other companies have gotten me on their planes 15 to 20 minutes before take off. I have flown with many airlines including American Airlines and Delta and many more in Europe, and I wanted to try Jetblue for travel to Santiago since my father and I own the 2nd largest tobacco company in the country, and travel there weekly. I will say this much. We run a multi million dollar business so I personally know how customers should be treated and this was not the way. The attendants at the airport added in more of their personal opinions and attitudes into their version of customer satisfaction which was not at all expectable, and their responses were only those of the company’s guide lines that you must be at the airport on time, as if I was a 3 year old child. They did not try to accommodate us (my girlfriend and I) at all. I even became a true blue member before flying thinking that I would be flying twice a week with Jetblue. I will say that unless no other airline is available, I will never fly with Jetblue, nor will any member of my family or friends. The only reason I decided to try jetblue was because from a business perspective, the fare price was reasonable at the time. However, after experiencing such unpleasant customer service I would rather pay 10 times over for a fare as long as I am treated with respect and some dignity. I am not mad but rather heavily disappointed in Jetblue's customer service and I can only hope that this is not a representation of Jetblue’s customer service. As a decent amount of the Dominican Republics annual revenue comes from travel and tourism. I do not want any apologies nor do I expect a response from you, although I would be very interested in how you as a company will respond.

FYI, my flight details are below:

Flight number 836 STI to JFK 11-29-09 depart time: 11:38 am (was forced to take a stand by flight)

I took a pair of brand new dangling, diamond and pearl, white gold earrings to Kay Jeweler to be set on simple wires so that they would hang a little lower. I purchased them specially for my wedding. I was pleased that the price to change the post to a wire was quite reasonable.

I was told that it would be about ten days and that I would receive a telephone call when they came back to the store from the jeweler. Several days passed, and I heard nothing so I decided to call them to find the status. They said the earrings had come back. The next day, I stopped into the store to pick them up. They were set on lever backs and the pearls were covered in glue. It appeared as though they were ruined. My heart stopped because I knew they couldn't be replaced and they were to be paired with a similar necklace for my wedding.

They told me that they would send them back for cleaning and to put them on the wires that I had asked for. I was not going to send them back to the same jeweler who ruined the pearls and didn't do what I asked. I told them only to clean the pearls and not to allow the jeweler to do anything else to them. In the end, all they offered me was a $10 discount on the work. They also offered me a gift card for the value of the repair but anything I would purchase in the shop would require that I spend more money. That is the last thing that I would do.

DO YOUR BUSINESS ELSEWHERE!! KAY JEWELERS IS A SECOND RATE SHOP WHERE THE JEWELERS HAVE NO RESPECT FOR YOU OR FOR THE JEWELRY THEY REPAIR!!!
