Off topic, a note for search engines and such ... Fashion Bug Sucks, Part Two

[kinzel]

Will someone please tell Fashion Bug that phone calls telling me about the latest bra sale are probably not going to result in additional profit for them? And that giving me a number I should call to opt out of future calls is an absurd imposition? So if I happen to be waiting for a call about an ill family member I can hang up -- and you'll call me back -- or I can listen to your spammy message and then have to spend my energy to call you? Whoa..bad form, Fashion Bug.

So...

Dear Fashion Bug Corporate:

if all the corporations in the US call me and require me to call them back so they won't bother me again, how shall I have time to work, or even to shop?

Maybe if I had a pen I would have written your number down. But I didn't. So I called your local store and asked them to pass the news upline that I don't want your phone calls. Next time you call. I'll call several stores. Got that? I doubt it.

Fashion Bug engages in unfortunate business practices. Shop there at your peril.

I never give money to people who call me on the phone. I was going to say the same about door-to-door calls too, but I did once sign up for USPIRG that way. The door-to-door guys always seem to knock just when a kid has gone down for a nap. Grrr. Although they sometimes hit my house when I'm eating too. I need a no soliciting sign:)

I had no idea those organizations were so shoddy. That's criminal that they pass so little on!

I had my first non-evangelistic door-to-door sales call in a year or two th other day. Aerus, the folks who merged with or bought... Electrolux, IIRC. I told them, "sorry, I've got the gadgets I need, good luck...."

But that's with people. The stupid Fashion Bug spam-call didn't even allow me to push a button to opt-out -- I was supposedto haev pen in hand and call them... right.
