I think we at least proved one thing: Without W00dEar, shiet hits the fan here regardless I hate to see my friends fighting. I say we all put on our favor swim trunk, and have a group hug by the pool this Saturday. I bring my good wine, MasterP bring his Cuban's, someone bring some kobe beef and we all set.
damn guys, do we really need a lame vendor like matt @ DD (sorry matt get my mom's car to smell like new again!!!) to ruin a friendship? Like hubert said everyone will have different experiences from one vendor let's not this turn into a hatefeast upon ourselves.
Matt, I would've happyly gave you the money had you guys told me that in advance. Whether you actually filled it up with $20 or $38 of gas, I don't care if you made money or not. I just felt taken advantage of when you guys told me one price on the phone and when I got there, it's a different price. I see your point of view John. So you DID know about my unhappiness...since I never mentioned to you that the fellow f-chatter who called you the next day is another customer...GOTCHA! You had plenty time to contact me and clearup the misunderstanding The person who you shared your experience with, casually mentioned it to Eddie who told me later that day. I honestly thought he was pulling my leg. I couldn't see why someone would be upset with me filling his car up. I even told him that it couldn't be b/c you shook my hand and told me everything was alright when you left. Perhaps you are not confrontational but I always believe I give customers an opportunity to give us feedback b/c I always ask them in the end if they're happy (it's kind of like at a wedding; "Speak your peace or forever hold your breath"). I would understand if I wasn't there that day, but I was. But arrogance got the better part of you...and for that I'm, too, very disappointed (especially how highly I thought of you guys before). I've been called many things in my life, but never "arrogant". That's a new one. John, you obviously don't know me at all. When people ask me what I do for a living, I simply tell them I'm a "wax jockey". I don't think that's a mark of an arrogant person. Gotta go John; wax on, wax off.
