@abe_verghese I'm that person--and true, the book never left my hand (same with Joan Didion's My Year of Magical Thinking). As one who writes primarily about inanimate objects (architecture and design primarily) I'm more drawn to stories of human emotion). Great talk that day, by the way!
I never had issues with #ubereats till today when my order, made shortly after 5:45 went to a location 7 miles in the other direction. The driver (Miami) spoke zero English and couldn't resolve the problem and was delivered (and inexplicably accepted) there at 7 p.m.
Can't make this stuff up! On the same day @MiamiHerald has a cover story on storm surge and climate change, its Editorial Board comes out in support of major zoning increases on Miami Beach - a barrier island most at risk. What is happening, South Florida?! @NancyAncrum#smh
@southernliving I am confused. You posted an article saying refrigerate any pie that has eggs or dairy but don't refrigerate nut pies and THEN link to a pecan pie recipe that has four eggs in it. What gives?
So @AmazonFresh is not doing its job. Last week I got slimy smelly mushrooms--twice (the replacement was worse than the original). Today's order, expected by 2 p.m., was not delivered (though it was packed and loaded on a truck) and then cancelled for no reason. What gives?
@americanair With Verifly it's extra-hard to check in from out of the US. App impossible and slow. And a tiny (1st world) issue--flying business but was not told I had to order a meal in advance (never did before). An unhelpful agent told--too late--and refused to try to fix it.
Catch 22. I opened a sealed box of @florastor (excellent probiotic) only to find an empty bottle. Bought dec. 19 on amazon so too late to return. @florastor says they're not responsible for what amazon sells. Amazon sends you to @florastor. Is amazon supposed to xray every box?
I see @MiamiUHealth and @SylvesterCancer will have a big expansion, but I was on hold 55 minutes today trying to schedule a biopsy. For shame. Invest in people (answering phones) first and then bricks-and-mortar (although @MiamiUHealth's facilities are pretty absymal, pathetic.
@chasesupport does not offer phone support--just long waits and bad connections. I need to find out if there's been suspicious activity on my account (have been locked out online due to "suspicious activity" which I'd like to know about if true.) Mostly I want to pay my bill.
overcharged @lyft, quote under $20, charged $60. Driver unvaccinated (with long diatribe against vaccines) and played Fxxx Joe Biden on radio, did not turn it off when I said it was offensive. @lyft should not put passengers at risk nor subject them to crass, seditious politics.
@Ready_Refresh I want to cancel my service. I moved. 6 tries to get empty bottles picked up. Now I have the dispenser at my new house. Your phone service is a JOKE. Your online cust. service also a joke. Need to have you get it. You also owe me $48.
@MiamiDadeCounty property appraiser's office does not answer calls (on hold for 30 or more minutes at a time). Answering machine full and cannot take messages. What to do? Can't even make appointment to go in person. This is not service. Help!
@walgreens I have spent more than 2 hours and 2 days on hold for the Miami Shores/Biscayne Blvd. pharmacy trying to track 2 lost (by @fedex or @walgreens) prescriptions. Pharmacy is chaotic and irresponsible. Hire more/better staff, respect your customers. ALSOWHERE A RE MY MEDS?
@Uverse How do I get to talk to a real person, not the robot voice? I moved, had my U-Verse system re-installed in new house--twice. Does not work. Wifi goes out a lot. U-Verse TV does not work at all. Tech left a mess of wires and dust.
@readyrefresh Your website does not work properly. Your automated phone service is a mess--the voice just repeats the same thing over and over again. I need to get you to pick up bottles, deliver one immediately and then cancel service on Aug. 16. HELP
@nordstromrack. Your are understaffed. I drove 45 minutes to make a return only to find a checkout line of 18 people with 2 clerks who took10 min. per person. But you charge for a mailed return. No-win for the customer. Staff up. Get managers who pay attention to the customers!
