*OK fair advisory, it's laundry day here and I'm putting this out for all here to see and consider.
I kept debating whether or not to open this topic up as I never seem to feel I have effectively proven any of my points in this part of the UY site, but I am going to take the chance that we're all adults and like minded enough to see that in screwing over one member and the people he deals with as customers, this place is, in a way, screwing over others we might know, like a friend, neighbor, well, you get the point. I am going to copy over a letter I've just sent off and am in all fairness and self protecting interest, going to omit the relevant name/s. If you know who I am referring to, please, keep that to yourself and at least let it go until we figure out what we can do about this, even if it means it has to become a small claims issue.
Am I approaching this in a fair while protective manner or just being as much of a dick? I hate that I have to be like this but this person deserves to "Reap what he has sewn."
Please, as mods would you be willing to listen to this?
I am honestly disturbed by the fact that (Name Omitted) is still pimping his closeout stuff in (here). I realize he has certain privileges as a sponsor, but I am also going to keep politely offering alternative solutions to posts he puts in reply to member's questions where he is blatantly trying to make a sale for himself.
My reason being solely is I am a shop employee who has a boss who is screwed over because of his closing down and unwillingness to rectify pre-existing warranty and order issues. Crying "We're closed, sorry." is not how you stand up for yourself and absolutely looking back at things, exactly why he has gone out of business. Too many people screwed over enough times they, like he said (QUOTE OMITTED).
He closed his shop, end of story. In my opinion he shouldn't be allowed to go on making a side profit from that in places like here, while simultaneously screwing businesses that had supported him and his product.
By him doing this, he isn't just hurting the shop, he is hurting all those employed along with me by us having to invest in alternative solutions to make good with our customers. Not to mention the bad press he is furthering when we have finally decided to just tell the customers the truth, "He's being a dick, sorry, here is what I/We can do to fix this for you, would you be willing to possibly invest a little more money, if not we'll figure something out."
In this time of economic strife this stuff's bound to happen, but I am not going to sit back and let him screw us like this and I hope I/We would be supported in this (here).
I'd put this into Chit-Chat, but it isn't worth the can of worms.
I figure you knowing this will at the very least garner some level of respect should he throw a fit over my replies.
Sorry if this is a bit of a rant, but I felt the truth should be known among certain people.
**Again, if you know who I am referring to do not put that person's name here, at this point we'll just call him "Voldemort" if need be.
