@FootTapper @MousePlanet Thanks for the kind words and for reading!

@BestBuySupport I already placed a replacement order with Amazon. I now know that when Best Buy says pickup in an hour, it may mean some unspecified future time. Thanks for getting back to me though. The chatbot and chat agent I communicated with before I cancelled my order didn’t help either.

[Alan S. Dalinka @AlanDalinka]

Hey @BestBuy the part about picking up an item is NOT “just an estimate” as the clerk at the store just told me, I think it’s a deceptive trade practice. Wasted time. Order cancelled since item wasn’t available for pickup 6 hours after order and 4 hours after store opened.

Oh @FedExHelp — I was waiting for a package delivery estimated by 11:10am EDT and the tracking showed the truck was close; now there’s no way for me to see the truck and no estimate other than by 8pm. What happened?

Walt Disney World Resort Update for September 10, 2024 https://t.co/kyXv97nhdJ

Atlanta Motor Speedway viewed upon departure from ATL. Since geotagging now often works in flight, I figured that out, and since I haven’t posted here in quite awhile, there you go. 🤓

[Alan S. Dalinka @AlanDalinka]

I have noticed that my old IFTTT link from my Instagram posts to this platform stopped working. I don’t care to fix it.

[Alan S. Dalinka @AlanDalinka]

@FedExHelp I appreciate that the rep that responded here was able to fix the FedEx delivery problems so that I received my package on the original scheduled delivery date. And while I got the package, I thought folks would like to see the proof of delivery photo I received.

[Alan S. Dalinka @AlanDalinka]

Hey @fedexhelp - Extremely disappointed in @FedEx — a delay entirely within FedEx control doesn’t result in automatic upgrade to Saturday delivery? Ridiculous!

[Alan S. Dalinka @AlanDalinka]

@ATTHelp @ATT For the sake of completeness, I’ll note that at the 2 hour mark on the phone, the third representative I spoke to on the phone resolved the problems at about the same time as a DM representative provided contact info. This one is done.

[Alan S. Dalinka @AlanDalinka]

Hey @ATTHelp -- I've been on the phone with now two representatives for over 50 min trying to transfer service from iPhone 13 Pro Max to iPhone 15 Pro Max, a phone I ordered directly from @ATT and I still have not service and can't transfer to the new phone. This is ridiculous!

[Alan S. Dalinka @AlanDalinka]

@ATTHelp I have sent a DM 20 min ago. I'm now up to 80 min on the phone with reps. This is not just ridiculous, it's outrageous! What's the point of pre-ordering @ATT if I can't get the service. I upgraded from a long-existing account & this isn't my first upgrade: it has been the worst!

[Alan S. Dalinka @AlanDalinka]

Final results - 10-15 minutes is unreasonable to 68% of those that responded. I’d agree. Anything more becomes egregious.

[Alan S. Dalinka @AlanDalinka]

During regular park hours, how long is unreasonable to wait for quick service food after ordering @DisneyParks ?

[MousePlanet @MousePlanet]

Covering #DestinationD23 isn’t as hard as saving the Galaxy, right? Thanks for following along. Another day tomorrow. Thanks @disneyd23

[Alan S. Dalinka @AlanDalinka]

Yeah, and this doesn’t post nicely I see.

[Alan S. Dalinka @AlanDalinka]

Testing… testing. I don’t think IFTTT is allowed to cross post any more. https://t.co/nh93Pwsr21

Magic Kingdom held a special Independence Day military flyover this morning. I watched from just down the street a little bit. Happy 4th of July!
