Jedi's towel/Disney problem.
2nd trip: 9/3-9/10 CS, MK, HS, DTD, Driving from IN to FL - The DIS Discussion Forums - DISboards.com

2 years ago when we went I bought some embroidered towel at Head to Toe at Disney's Hollywood Studios on Hollywood Blvd. DS got a large towel + name + 2 characters as did DD. The towels were washed often (never used) and stored away. We took those 2 towels with us on this trip and planned on getting another character on each of those towels along with the years 2010 and 2012 added to them. In addition I was going to buy a new towel for DD (1), another for myself.

Once inside the shop the kids were busy looking at the characters and figuring out which one they wanted to add to their towel as well as which one they were going to pick for DD (1). I asked the CM if they could ship the items to our room. She asked when we were leaving and after confirming it was more than 48 hours she produced the green slip. I began to fill it out and then showed her the 2 towels they had made for us and told her want I wanted on each, and about the order for 2 new ones. She was still staring at the towels I had given her and I don’t think she hear the new order. She kept looking at the old towels and wondering where they had come from? Looked at the tag made a comment to herself of the font used on the towel and the texture of the towel and then walked away to the back room.

A min or two went by before she came back and she asked if the towels were used. I told her they had been washed once but never used and place in storage. She said they can not embroil used towels due to hygiene purchases. Another CM said the same thing in passing by. I asked if this was a new policy as there was nothing posted and when I bough them 2 years ago nothing was mentioned. CM #1 said they had never had a customer return asking for additional embroidery. ???WHAT!!?? So I asked well can I order new towels and before I could continue she said they were all sold out of while towels and tore the green slip up! CM #2 walked away at that point. I asked CM#2 when they would get more towel. She said she did not know and then walked away as well! So I was left there just looking around. They did have large mickey towels that you could add stuff to and I was about to buy 4 new mickey towels with our names, years, characters and all but got real made that the CM just walked away without even offering some other towel to buy. Figured I best just calm down and leave and that is what we did. Looks like they did not want my money and after that I was not willing to part with it anymore.

I figured they lost a $340 sale and a very bad memory/experience which I will write a letter to customer service on.

3 towels like this
$30 for towel
$8 per line of text x 3 (name + year 2010 + year 2012) = 24
$12 per character x 3 = 36
Sub-total = 90 per towel

1 towel like this
$30 for towel
$8 per line of text x 2 (name + year 2012) = 16
$12 per character x 2 = 24
Sub-total = 70 per towel

The rest of the day this issue kept nagging me. Upset they they did not ever state the new used towel policy but even more upset on the way I was treated. It felt like I was bothering them with wanting to buy a towel from them and like they just did not want to be there. Plus how on earth do you run out of towels and not have an idea when you might get more?

 

[repeter1977]

The family has plans for today. One of the pre-planned family events is to go see a movie.

We're seeing: ATLAS SHRUGGED Part 2

When part 1 came out there were no theaters in northern Indiana showing it. We drove up to Chicago to see it at one of the downtown cineplexes. Part 2 it playing in Schererville.

For those who have not read Ayn Rand's book ATLAS SHRUGGED, it was written a little over 50 years ago as a warning to Americans not to let socialism/communism creep into this nation. The book is considered the 2nd most influential book in the world, with The Holy Bible considered as the most influential.

We will be doing these in my garage. The weather as of now is 60 and rain so dress warm. I do have a heater if it gets to cold so dress in layers.

As for hand tools we should be good. We could use a extra toaster oven and a heat gun depending on the number of people.

I will have to limit this workshop to 10 people.

We can order some pizza if we start to get hunger. You may want to bring some thing to drink.

If you would like to do this and have any questions please PM me with them so we are not tying up the NWI INGO break room. I will do a update on a daily basis.

Where is it playing?

 

[magic man]

I won't be making it today, Jay. Some family stuff came up that I can't get out of.

 

[gunbunnies]

Bill B, it's playing at Showplace 16 in Schererville... not sure of all the times it is playing but pretty sure there is a 2PM showing...

 

[lonehoosier]

I won't be making it today, Jay. Some family stuff came up that I can't get out of.

Ok. I am going to try to do a bimonthly kydex workshop. I have already learnd a lot about doing this workshop and it hasnt even started. I think with some changes I can get a bigger turn out.

 

[Andy219]

Well been sleeping a lot, I think that's the only thing the meds are for, because they haven't stopped the walls and floors from moving. Give it a few more hours then call off for tomorrow if it doesn't change. And back to the doctor in the am. It feels like my arms and legs are floating. Along with a light headed feeling until I move then the walls and floors start moving. Feels like I'm drunk and trying to walk through one of those fun houses. Except I'm not having fun. Been getting headaches in the morning too, which sucks because I normally don't get headaches unless I'm having a hangover. At least the headache only last a few hours.

Works not gonna be happy with me, may have to look into fmla.

 

[jedi]

What's wrong andy??
Flu? Worse?

 

[Andy219]

Vertigo, no flu or cold or anything. It's crazy woke up Friday morning like this, headaches and arms/legs started Saturday morning.

 

[Andy219]

Went to the doctor Friday afternoon since it wasn't going away. She seen me for 4 minutes said its benign something position vertigo, here's some anti-vert. Take a couple days off work and u can go back Monday.

The anti-vert has done nothing but make me sleep, and I'm still feeling vertigo along with constant light headed ness, and my arms and legs feel like they're floating and the morning headaches. Never had anything like this, very strange.

 

[tv1217]

Hmm, this morning I woke up and felt like there was a 10 lb weight strapped to the back of my head. Only lasted about 10 minutes, though.

 

[Andy219]

I hope I'm not turning into a zombie... The zombie apocalypse is right around the corner, and I'd rather be on the human side of the fight!

If Andy turns into a Zombie then I call first dibs on his guns

We all know that Zombies cannot use guns so they will be useless to Andy when he joins the mindless masses of the walking dead.

 

[Clif45]

I think his problems all stemmed from the tainted Ruger. After that all kinds of bad things happened. Stay away from that Ruger if you care about your status on this planet as living.
