Wal-Mart fired me for being a lesbian and a great employee!

Wal-Mart fired me for being a lesbian and a great employee!

I was a Wal-Mart greeter up until last year. I loved my job and was okay with it even though the pay was really quite horrible. I was making ends meet through welfare and my lover’s paycheck (she also worked at Wal-Mart). But then Wal-Mart decided to take the point of view that they didn’t like...

Lab Corp, illegal, fraudulant billing practices and terrible customer service!

Lab Corp, illegal, fraudulant billing practices and terrible customer service!

Apparently it seems that every doctor that I go to, nowadays, uses Lab Corp. for doing everything from bloodwork to routine tests and more. I have switched several doctors in the past couple years because I had moved and for various other reasons (like one passed away and another was arrested and had their...

Portfolio Recovery Associates and Highly Illegal, Fraudulent Debt Collection Practices!

Portfolio Recovery Associates and Highly Illegal, Fraudulent Debt Collection Practices!

Last year I received a phone call and the name that showed up on my caller ID was Portfolio Recovery. I answered the phone and the person on the phone asked me if I was me. That was really strange so I asked them who they were. They wouldn’t answer that. They again asked...

British Petroleum (BP), the largest oil spill in history, ecological disaster and corporate greed tinged with a little governmental coverup!

Well just a few years ago we had the highest oil prices and gas prices in history. I remember seeing $4.15 at the pump. And right now we are sitting at about $2.70 at the pump (give or take a few cents depending upon what state you’re in). Anyway so what I’m getting here...

Vonage – a great review and why you need to switch off AT&T long distance ASAP!

I used to have AT&T long-distance and then I got married to my wife whom has relatives that all live out of state and they all love to talk on the phone for hours on end. When I was with AT&T our long-distance phone bills would average $100-$200 per month. Then I saw ads...

Presbyterian Hospital and gross overcharging of patients with or without health insurance!

Presbyterian Hospital and gross overcharging of patients with or without health insurance!

I unfortunately had the happenstance of using Presbyterian Hospital in the past. Unlike the other local hospital here, Carolina’s Medical Center (CMC), Presbyterian charges far higher prices for everything and anything that they can. Case in point, five years ago I had a son and it was a normal childbirth at Presbyterian Hospital. Then...

CarMax a review, crappy customer service and a host of problems

CarMax a review, crappy customer service and a host of problems

Recently I purchased a two-year-old Cadillac Escalade with low miles from CarMax. The truck was beautiful and everything I had wanted at a fairly decent price. I might’ve been able to haggle a better deal from one of the local car dealers, but the nice thing that CarMax was I didn’t have to negotiate...

Jiffy Lube Ripoff and why you will want to avoid them at all costs!

Jiffy Lube Ripoff and why you will want to avoid them at all costs!

I took my car to a Jiffy Lube in Endicott, New York. I just wanted a oil change which was about due for my vehicle. I had a Chevy Corsica that was in great shape and very low miles on it. I had previously bought this car from an elderly grandmother that had her license...

Tire Kingdom – unbelievably bad and fraudulant customer service!

Tire Kingdom – unbelievably bad and fraudulant customer service!

This complaint is about something that’s not exactly recent, as it actually occurred several years ago, but it still makes me angry that this even occured in the first place.  Several years ago, I was a local area used car dealer and had taken a Acura Integra into the local tire Kingdom to have...

Amazon.com sucks – seller sent wrong item and they won’t honor their guarantee!

Amazon.com sucks – seller sent wrong item and they won’t honor their guarantee!

I recently purchased the Shawn T’s Insanity fitness workout DVD from Amazon.com. The price was better than what I’ve seen on the late-night TV infomercials from Beachbdy – it was going for around $90 rather than the full retail price of $129 or so. Amazon has this supposed A to Z guarantee program that...

Phoenix University – a scam of massive proportions fleecing students like never before!

Phoenix University – a scam of massive proportions fleecing students like never before!

My brother was watching TV about a few years ago and saw a catchy advertisement for Phoenix University (aka University of Phoenix) and their online classes. It stated that he could take classes part-time and online. Being that he had a family, a job and an irregular schedule this sounded great to him. So...

Time Warner Cable – Changing Prices by the Month

  We moved into an apartment about 9 months ago and when I had to decide what cable company to go with, I went with Time Warner Cable.  We had bought the DVR box with extra HD channels because we always miss our shows with the changing TV times and busy activities during the...

Dish Network and AT&T price gouging of established customers – is it illegal and is it fair?

Dish Network and AT&T price gouging of established customers – is it illegal and is it fair?

I am a valued customer of Dish Network. Every publication, email, voice recording, etc tells me so. If that is the case, why does Dish Network advertise reduced plans below the cost I am paying and not allow me to take advantage of it? I called AT&T who my Dish Network package is bundled...
