@IKEACanada Just FYI...

[Mike @officialmikeb]

Hej @IKEACanada, can you clarify whether this offer listed on your website is actually for in-store appointments? It mentions "in-store" several times but the one "in-home" mention is confusing. Thinking the "in-home" in first line of the body text is a typo.

[Mike @officialmikeb]

@IKEACanada That's too bad. Definitely canceling my in-store appointment then. Not paying for the privilege of customer service if I'm about to drop $20k in your stores. Losing faith in the brand.

[Mike @officialmikeb]

Clearly they're the same greedy, non-customer-focused conglomerate they've always been. I'd say I lost faith in the brand, but that happened in the early 2000s when we finally left Bell Sympatico for much faster cable internet. @Bell_Support

[Mike @officialmikeb]

Ashamed that @Bell won't give me their "Hamilton exclusive" fibe 1.5 pricing @ $75 that they're advertised everywhere because I've already been a customer for *one week*. They refuse to adjust the pricing for me. Friends warned me about Bell but I had hoped they've changed.

[Mike @officialmikeb]

Even tho @WalmartCanada has always sucked, at least their return policy & cust satisfaction guarantee were a silver lining. But under the guise of covid, they quietly changed their ret policy. Had a terrible experience and suffice to say my little faith in the brand has shattered

DNS failure on desktop browser for @weathernetwork website but works fine via mobile apparently

[Mike @officialmikeb]

In July 2020, @Google pushed an update to @googlenest Learning Thermostats that broke the onboard wifi on thousands of units. Waited a year for the same colour to be available on their warranty site, yet they shipped me the wrong one. Losing faith in the brand @googlenesthelp

.@BrevilleUSA @BrevilleCanada Got a #Breville long slice toaster and will be returning it asap. Burns half the slice, gap in the heating coils make long slice feature pointless, inner coils dont turn on right away. Total garbage, lost faith in the brand.

@rachell_maee @Walmart @WalmartCanada Omg the product pics are definitely creative

[Mike @officialmikeb]

I was looking for wine glasses at @Walmart @WalmartCanada...thought it was a family-friendly store 🍆

[Mike @officialmikeb]

Had 148 stars expire in September, no email reminder this time from @StarbucksCanada about expiring stars as they've sent in the past. That's basically any free drink =/ Stars shouldn't even expire anymore since they got rid of reward levels. Lost faith in the brand (yet again)

[Mike @officialmikeb]

It took a global pandemic for @McDonaldsCanada drive thru to invent the pinpad-on-a-stick and I just hope they keep it long after all this is over

[Mike @officialmikeb]

@HamiltonLibrary Thanks!

[Mike @officialmikeb]

@HamiltonLibrary "Items borrowed...need to be returned to an HPL location." Can you clarify is this means "any" location, or the same location where the item was borrowed?

.@hsr @cityofhamilton Lots of broken glass at stop 2789, Upper Wellington opposite Como Pl. #HamOnt

BetterSnapTool is probably the best #macOS app I've ever bought, only $4. Never understood why window management in macOS is so awful compared to Windows, but this tool really helps

[Mike @officialmikeb]

.@Rogers You need to fix your network. My IgniteTV has been freezing constantly and internet is slow with major packet loss at the first node after my modem. Definitely losing faith in the brand

[Mike @officialmikeb]

.@StarbucksCanada @Starbucks How about delaying the expiration of star rewards for a while (or entirely, since they were meant to get people to maintain their membership level (green, gold) which doesn't seem to exist anymore)?

[Mike @officialmikeb]

@WestJet Why does your website say carry-ons must be <= 21x15x9" but your line of carry-on luggage (https://t.co/FZCbYr2C4I) is slightly bigger on the long edge at 21.5"x14"x9"? Are you using linear dimensions to accommodate minor variation? If so, website should specify this
