@CBSNewYork @NickJCaloway @CBSNewYork & @NickJCaloway This CBS NY post on X is factually inaccurate. The K9 Resorts of Fairfield location was never on fire. The fire was in a nearby retail store that caused smoke damage to several nearby businesses. Please correct your reporting.

@ReadyRefresh - 40 min. on hold & I’m assured, again, my delivery “should” arrive tomorrow, but “no guarantees.” My point isn’t to rail against legit supply chain issues; my point is daily reschedules are unrealistic & a #customerservicefail You need better messaging.

[Rod Hughes @RodHughes]

Those “we’re so sorry please DM us to resolve your issue” msgs @ReadyRefresh tweets when someone complains are designed to make it ‘look’ like they’re doing something. I followed up yesterday and this morning - no response. #customerservicefail

[Rod Hughes @RodHughes]

Attention @FedEx - You charged me $400 for overnight delivery last Tuesday (9/28). It’s Oct. 4 & #customerservice can’t tell me when/if the package will arrive. Also, there’s no way to escalate calls to supervisors? I’m told now you “can’t guarantee” delivery. That’s your job.

Great to see positive news involving a #nonprofit & local #Doylestown org. The County Theater is so close to its 2020 fundraising goal & slated to re-open following construction early 2021.

[Rod Hughes @RodHughes]

Scary times in #Doylestown and hoping there are no injuries. Otherwise all safe on the home front/home office here. @kimballpr

High winds strike Doylestown Hospital, partially tearing roof off of Children's Village daycare. No reports of serious injuries. Tornado not confirmed but winds were strong enough to overturn vehicles in parking lot. #IsaiasBucks
