Oh @panerabread your hot chocolate is so disappointing! I can’t even describe the taste but it was nasty. I think they forgot the actual hot chocolate

[Paula Halifax @HaliPawz]

OMG!!!! How many times do I have to call @ADT and cancel my account before they actually cancel it. I have called at least 4 times and spent so much time on hold and talking to someone and yet, still getting a bill! Consumers beware! They are a nightmare to cancel

So disappointed in @texasroadhouse My mom was celebrating her 88th birthday & wanted steak. We ordered hers med rare and it was so well done there was no way she could eat it. I ended up giving her mine. When you order 7 meals & no names on them is a pain

.@Vanillagiftcard are so shady. I have my gift card on the original paperwork it came with. It says “no fees after purchase” and “funds never expire” but yeah if you wait 13 months or more to use it they will take $3 a month off the card! So stupid

[Paula Halifax @HaliPawz]

@Grubhub @Grubhub_Care my order was 45 minutes late and everything was cold! I only have so much time for lunch and I spent a lot of money on a nice meal. Your $5 “sorry we were late” just isn’t acceptable

What good is a 50% off @Arbys burger deal when all the locations you check don’t have burgers 🤷‍♀️ #badcoupon

Thanks @ChipotleTweets for the “free guacamole” for my birthday when I have NEVER purchased guac. As often as I go there the birthday item should be something I can actually use. #notarrealgift

.@thetimesherald why do you make it so hard to pause delivery? I have tried the website every day for almost a week. Same error message. Sent a message on FB messenger, no response.

[Paula Halifax @HaliPawz]

@McDonalds For the record, I WANTED what I ordered. Someone had been SHOT and the police had to let me out of the parking lot so I’m not too quick to want to go back

[Paula Halifax @HaliPawz]

It continues to baffle me that a huge corporation like @McDonalds continues to keep my money, making me jump through hoops to get it back. They are quick to take it but when they can’t give the product, they won’t give it back #dobetter

[Paula Halifax @HaliPawz]

@McDonalds I did all that only to be told they could not refund digitally, I had to go to the restaurant. I went out of town, came back and had a torn thigh muscle so getting around isn’t as easy. If they can take the money digitally, they can refund digitally….why should I have to?

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

“Twice this week, I have watched an elderly individual, fade into the busy life in which we all live. One man just needed Panadol for his wife but the shop assistant simply said it’s in aisle ‘6’. But he struggled to navigate the supermarket and as I watched him go in the wrong direction, I left all my groceries and took him where he needed to go.

Today, I watched an elderly man struggle in the heat, who had obviously had a fall with a huge scrape and blood on his leg. He walked past people in the cafe, while he slowly made his way to his car. Not one person stopped. Or looked. Or acknowledged him. I took him to his car and checked he was ok. He told me he had a fall and wasn’t sure how the air con worked in his car so he just didn’t use it. I sat with him, until his air con kicked in and heard him talk about the old frail body that he is in, that fails him now, every single day.

When you see an elderly person walking down the street, searching in the supermarket or struggling to their car, take a minute out of your busy schedule and ask them if they need a hand. Think about your grand parents and your parents and how pissed you would be if someone didn’t stop to help them. But more, think of them as you.

Once upon a time they were you. They were busy, they had work, they had children, they were able.... Today, they are just in an older body that is not going as fast as it used to and this busy life is confusing. They deserve our utmost respect and consideration. One day it will be you, it will be us. I wish more people gave a sh*t about them and acknowledged them for their admirable existence and geez I hope someday, not that far away, someone does it for me.”

So what happens when you place a mobile order at @McDonalds and there was a shooting there so the whole thing is closed up and the police have to let you out of the parking lot? Didn’t see that as a FAQ 🤷‍♀️

[Paula Halifax @HaliPawz]

I’m starting to think I’m not meant to get a pair of @wearkizik shoes. @UPS won’t deliver without a signature, to change to an access point, I have to pay $5.99. The company doesn’t let us choose who they ship with. My first pair (didn’t fit) was delivered with no issue.

[Paula Halifax @HaliPawz]

I don’t understand @UPS Notice yesterday said it was going to be delivered to an access point because a signature is required. Then notice today says 2nd attempt at delivery and only 1 more attempt will be made or it will be returned. Not at access point, I checked 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

[Paula Halifax @HaliPawz]

Oh @kfc how do you screw up all but one thing in an order. Ordered dark, ended up with white. Sides were wrong even after I corrected them. 🤦‍♀️

[Paula Halifax @HaliPawz]

So @ChipotleTweets has an updated app….I think it’s failing 🤦‍♀️ I’ve tried this a variety of ways with the same outcome.

[Paula Halifax @HaliPawz]

Oh @googlefiberhelp how you continue to disappoint. I need wifi upstairs but it never works. How do I move the mesh closer? It’s at the top of the stairs 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ How is it weak yet working well???

[National Park Service @NatlParkService]

When you encounter others on a trail, offer a friendly “hello” or a nod. This helps create a friendly atmosphere. If you approach a trail user from behind, announce yourself in a friendly, calm tone. Yelling “that chipmunk stole my car keys, run for your lives” is not helpful.
