got glock Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Called on Monday, hoped to be the first in line for a Fri appointment, requested early AM. They said no problem. We will be there between 8 and 5. Yep it is 4:30 in MO with no phone dude. Hope he is here soon, people are at the range setting up tomorrows match and I want to help. There's another wasted day. Thanks for listening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-ManBart Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Yeah, that situation bites. Like they can't narrow it down more than a 9 hour window? Please...total BS. Here we get the same spiel, but then they don't show up at all and don't even bother to call to let you know. I've taken a whole day's vacation time to be around for these jokers and had them not show...not that I'm paid like a king, but that's an expensive day for me....I could have been out doing something I wanted to do rather than waiting on some inconsiderate jerk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AikiDale Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Don't wait. Leave a cell phone number on the door. When they call, tell them you'll be there between 8 and 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like we have the time...right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zxd9 Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 You need a service like my wife's business offers. She'll sit and wait at your house for you so you don't have to. It comes at a price, but hey, like others have said, you could be doing something else more important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ima45dv8 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I couldn't agree more. What pleasantly surprised me a few years ago was when one of the local TV cable companies missed their 4 hour window. I was told the tech would be at my house between 8 and 12, and when he arrived at 12:30 I received the credit on my next bill. I hate that more companies won't put their money where their mouth is like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Nesbitt Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 This is not a rebuttal. Don't be too hard on the phone dude when he gets there. He doesn't like it any better than you do. He is probably dispatched by someone in a phone center in another state that has no idea what the phone dude has to do or how long it takes him to get from place to place. I used to be the phone dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
