A few days ago I posted this from my other account, which I would just link to, but due to the dark and mysterious magic of the fediverse I actually can't see my other account from this account, even though there's no current moderation policies(silences/blocks) in place between the two instances.
"I understand that incompetence is just a way of life these days, but, I'm still pretty frustrated.
Drove 10 hours overnight to be where our new appliances for our move were supposed to be delivered. Just spent an hour on the phone to figure out that the delivery company has "no idea where they are." Awesome. Guess I'll cancel that plumber visit that I had to schedule 3 months in advance for Monday.
Spent some time on the phone with my kid's former pediatrician to get their immunization records sent to our new state. The lady insists that they are required to get typhoid shots before she can print it out. I can find zero reference to them needing typhoid shots anywhere on the CDC's website, nor the link she sent me to the state of Florida's required vaccinations. In a state full of anti-vaxxers I can't get her to send me a piece of paper showing that my kids are immunized. I'm just going to wait and see if someone else is in the office tomorrow..."
Followed by:
"Waited until the office was long since closed and left a message with the messaging service so that the pediatrician would have to call me back. Felt kind of bad about it, but, they wouldn't let me talk to anyone else at his office when they were open.
Guess what? He thought it was funny that his office thought we needed typhoid shots. I didn't, but, whatever. She apparently meant "tetanus" even though she said it at least 5 times and even argued with me about it, and it's not even due until his birthday in the fall. I feel sorry for all of the people who need this woman's guidance for their children's health."
Alright, so, I was not calling them out, but, I didn't want to do business with Home Depot, so we ordered our appliances from AJ Madison. They've now cancelled our delivery AGAIN tomorrow. They'll "try sometime in the next week" they say, as if they can just tell people that they need to be home all day, every day for weeks on end waiting for them to finally show up.
On top of that, the missing 3rd appliance is actually missing. After a little back and forth they called to say that they should have had "about $100,000 worth of them in stock" but they're apparently all "missing from their warehouse" and that's why it hasn't been shipped out. They're going to try reaching out to Rheem to see if they can get my hot water heater.
I'm seriously doubting we're ever getting our appliances at this point, but, they can be sure I'll be back on the phone with them first thing tomorrow morning again until I get an answer. At some point I'm just going to initiate a charge back on my card and drive back to Florida.
@BE What a mess!
