Sucky Businesses

I was visiting my senpai the other day and he was telling me how this place called BrewBakers Brew Pub in Huntington Beach, CA was trying to rip his climbing club off. The manager of the place sounded like a real dick. His group was brewing some beer there for their upcoming convention and they called to make sure everything was ready. The manager said it was and when they got there he tried the old bait and switch by saying he didn't have the right bottles in stock and tried to charge them more. The guy promised to make things right in the end after bitching and grumbling, but reneged on his promise. senpai said they'll never go back to that place again.

It reminded me of my recent experience at Fix Auto in Buena Park, CA. Someone rear ended me recently. (>.<) Well, at least they didn't try to kill me like the SS. Anyway, I had my car fixed at Fix Auto, but they didn't check everything and I had to go back. They also left tapes to cover things for painting and bent my antenna. The manager was all apologetic and nice about it and promised to make it right. Of course it was all words and no action. I had to follow up with him couple of times, but I got no results. I had to call the corporate office and got results. It's another one of those places I wouldn't ever go again.

You shouldn't go to these kinds of places, unless you enjoy being ripped off by your local businesses.
