billymays1Were you fed up with trying to find the lamp switch in a dark room?

Were you tired of getting up every night just to turn off the light?

Hi! The late Billy Mays here for the Handy Switch. You remember, right? That wireless light switch that let you control any lamp from anywhere!

You just picked the lamp you wanted to control and plugged it into the remote receiver.

And, because it’s wireless, there was no tools or wires to worry about it.

Just fire. Yes, you only have to worry about the fire.

The Consumer Products Commission has reported that our remote receivers might catch on fire. Damned shoddy Chinese craftsmanship. Now, not only are the Chinese bent hell on killing our pets with their poison pet food and killing us with their poison drywall, they want to burn our houses to the ground as well.

So, UNPLUG YOUR HANDY SWITCHES, AMERICA! And, visit the Handy Switch Recall website today.

Rosalinda Miran-Ramirez, a resident of California and customer of insurance company Blue Shield of California HMO, woke up one morning to find blood coming out of her left breast and her night shirt saturated in blood.

She did what any reasonable person would have done. She went to the Emergency Room. Turns out that she had benign tumor and presumably, she will be okay.

But, here’s the kicker. Her insurance company, Blue Shield of California HMO, denied her claim. Their reason? Blood coming out of your nipple isn’t considered an emergency and Rosalinda should have reasonably known that no emergency existed.

She appealed.

They denied her again for the same reason.

Of course, after getting an attorney and going to the media, the insurance company finally agreed to pay.

Unbelievable.

pizzahutThe Pizza Hut located at 10401 S Federal Highway in Port St. Lucie is ridiculous.

Whenever I go there with my department from work for the lunch buffet, there is only ever one server working the entire dining room. One. One server during lunch, presumably a busy time for any restaurant. One server. One.

I fired off this e-mail to pizzahut.com a few moments ago …

I really don’t know how this Pizza Hut location stays in business. My department goes to the lunch buffet about once a month, each time hoping our experience is better than the last one. It never is. Usually, it’s worse. The bottom line is there is NOT ENOUGH EMPLOYEES to service the volume of customers at lunch time. I don’t blame this on the few employees there, Lord knows their job is hard enough. I don’t blame this on the manager of the Pizza Hut location. I blame Pizza Hut’s corporate management for their abject failure to give the manager of this location the tools (staffing levels) he/she needs to effective service customers. It’s unacceptable for there to always be empty pizza pans on the buffet along side of the empty basket of bread sticks and empty pan of pasta. Why is it empty? There aren’t enough employees to keep the buffet stocked and fulfill other orders. It’s that simple. I’ve decided today though, enough is enough. I won’t be back.

These corporations have cut staff to obscene levels. Now, there’s not enough employees to serve all the customers. Yeah, you might have saved a few annual salaries, but you’re losing a quadzillion sales!

evilwalmartJust how much does Wal-Mart suck?

Well, consider this.

According to Fortune Magazine, “Target opened its first store here in March [2009], deep in the heart of Wal-Mart country. Former Wal-Mart CEO Lee Scott and his successor Mike Duke are both frequent visitors, according to Target store manager Chuck Simmons.”

Lee Scott and Mike Duke. Both. Shop. At. Target.

I guess even he gets sick of the rude and more recently, sparse employees, long lines and cluttered, messy aisles at Wal-Mart. Mike has the power to fix all that, but I guess he’s not up to the challenge.

Word of warning, guys.  If I were you, I wouldn’t say the words buck, cluck, duck, luck, muck, puck, stuck, truck or any other words that end in uck. Eloise is reading your lips.

I don’t understand how or why CVS is so incompetent in filling prescriptions. You would think that a company with the word pharmacy in its name would be good at … well, the pharmacy stuff. But at CVS? Not so much.

The CVS in Port St. Lucie at the intersection of PSL and Tulip/Gatlin is ridiculous.

The last 4 times we’ve been to this CVS, this has been our experience.

  • 1. We use the automated phone refill system and confirm our prescription will be ready for pickup by 3pm. At 3:30pm, we pull into the drive-thru and we’re told the prescription isn’t ready yet and could we please pull away from the window so they can help the people behind us. W. T. F.
  • 2. We drop off a prescription in the morning and tell them we’ll be back in the afternoon to pick it up. When we pick it up, nobody can find the prescription. 30 minutes later, they find it and finally. fill. it.
  • 3. We drop off a prescription in the afternoon and tell them we’ll be back in the evening to pick it up. When we pick it up, they tell us they don’t have anymore pills and we’ll have to go to another CVS. They couldn’t pick up the phone and save us the trip back? W. T. F.
  • 4. We drop off a prescription and we’re told the wait will be at least an hour. We said we’ll be back in an hour. We go back 4 hours later and it’s still. not. done.

I go to the CVS because I Grocery Game there. But, for prescriptions, I think I will start going to the pharmacy in Publix. They’re closer anyway and seem to have their sh*t together much more than CVS does.
