When? Someday. How? Willpower. Through want, wish or hope. Not good enough? Make it enough.
Here’s what I am having a hard time wrapping my brain around: We murder bin Laden. It’s all over the news. Now the Navy dumps his body into the North Arabian Sea after completing traditional Islamic corpse handling rituals? *SMFH*
Here’s my take for what it’s worth: So some random dude’s house in Pakistan gets torched and while we were watching the left hand BAM the right hand captured and killed the CIA asset bin Laden (Tim Osman). After ten years and 40 minutes….the forty minutes it took the Seal team to capture the said asset. 40 minutes? That’s it? Then we dumped some cement into the Arabian Sea and dusted off our hands and chalked one up for democracy. Doesn’t that just sound a bit too easy. I think the world needed something positive. With Fukushima spewing radiation and the economic collapse in wait the “good guys” played their trump card. I don’t buy it. But that’s just me. The skeptic in me wants to see a picture. Saddam was hanged on the Internets his sons Uday and Qusay’s dead bodies were pictured on every newspaper’s front page. And I have to take my government’s word that we have captured and killed one of the United States most wanted terrorist. I can do math and this one just doesn’t add up.
I would be more than happy to advise you of the reason(s) for the cancellation of my account.
- Initially I was told that a complimentary box of produce would be delivered to my home on March 9th. To me complimentary means free.
- After receiving the ‘complimentary’ box of ‘produce’ consisting of an assortment (with heavy emphasis on the root word ‘ass’) Daikon, Swiss chard, fennel, mango, rotten moldy oranges, a head of lettuce and some other non-edible items. These are all things I would not normally choose when at the produce section of my local store. For you to then ask me to pay for these items that you chose for me seems absurd.
- Receiving a bill for the assortment. Twenty dollars for a head of lettuce. That was the only item I used. I could buy rotten produce from Bel Air or Safeway if I wanted to. I was hoping for something better but was sadly mistaken.
- The representative that I spoke with assured me that the initial box of produce was free and that I would be able to choose what I wanted after receiving the first box. She also assured me that I could cancel at any time. I asked her more than one time about both of these issues and her response was the same each time. ‘Yes you can cancel at any time.’ ‘Yes the first box of produce is complimentary.’
- It seems as though your ‘field representatives’ or ‘door to door sales persons’ need to be educated on what the term complimentary means and how to not misrepresent the company which employs them. Good help is hard to find. I don’t blame her at all. I blame whomever it was that deemed her ready to take on the crucial task of bringing knowledge of Farm Fresh To You to complete strangers. Instead I am left with a twenty dollar invoice that was discounted Five whole dollars as Promotional Credit. Please. You did nothing to promote your business. In fact you hurt it drastically. I have let everyone I know to shop elsewhere for their fresh fruits and vegetables. I know of plenty of local vendors that would gladly welcome new repeat business unlike yourselves.
- When contacted about the notice instead of being “Customer Friendly, Flexible, Convenient” as quoted on your website, the representative had an attitude of ‘I’m right you’re wrong and I stopped, correction ‘was never’, listening to you in the first place.” You should change your website content or your employee’s that directly deal with customers. False advertisement is no way to do business. Either way I feel that it would be a ‘day late and a dollar short.’
- Last but not least I will be mailing my final payment to your office. I don’t feel confident in your abilities to be able to handle a complicated internet transaction.
