Last weekend I went to this nail place in Tecumseh for a manicure pedicure, along with two friends. One got just a manicure and the other just a pedicure. I booked an appointment 4 days in advance and when we got there, there were only 2 ladies working... We took our time picking out colours because they were both finishing with other customers. 20 minutes after our scheduled appointment, one lady started on my friend, it wasn't for another 20 minutes that someone started on my pedicure. She rushed through the pedicure, not taking enough time to file my nails and clean the dead skin off, but it was my birthday and I was in a good mood so I didn't say anything. The same lady did my manicure (the owner or manager I believe) and she rushed through my manicure as well. I had to ask her to re-file my nails because she left them un-smooth. I was happy with the result although the service wasn't good.
That night my nails had already begun chipping and by the next day they were completely gone. I didn't go back sooner because I went on vacation the next day.
Throughout the week my toe has started bothering me and I realized that she had cut my nail in a way that gave me an ingrown toe nail.
Today I went back to complain and hopefully get some good customer service. The same lady that did my nails was there and I talked to her. I told her I have an ingrown toe nail because of the way she cut my nails and she argued with me saying I was wrong. I told her I went to the doctor and she said that I should listen to what the doctor says. I then proceeded to complain about my chipped nails and she said she could re-do them for me, fine, in any other case. I work at a place in which I am not allowed to have my nails painted so I explained to her that I would not like them to be re-painted. She said "Would you like me to give you your money back?" and I said yes, that would be a good alternative and she said "Well no. I am not doing that."
Short version of the end, she had no customers in the store which shows her poor customer service skills. I paid almost $50 for a pedicure manicure and I was not satisfied with the quality or service of said Nail Salon. If you want to keep your business, you should strive to make the customer happy no matter what.

To the older gentleman with no patience at the North Park- Manning and Riverside D on Sunday afternoon.

I was trying to get my two young kids in their car seats I noticed that a van was waiting to park right next to me. I was buckling my daughter in her car seat when the older gentleman approached me and and yelled "If you would close your door I would be able to park my car" I looked at him and said "Sorry I'm trying to get my kids in their seats all by myself, can you wait one minute" At this time I noticed that I left the passenger side door open. The man stormed back to his car and parked his van recklessly next to mine almost hitting my car door. I waited for him to exited his vehicle and I rolled down my window and told him to have a nice day. The man ignored me. I noticed that two young kids exited the vehicle also and ran into the park after him.
I hope that you can learn to have more patience in every day life. Oh ya your licence plate is personalized ONT 37Y with a Town of Tecumseh licence plate cover. Easy to remember!!!!

I hope you enjoyed your note that I left on your windshield

While driving down Ouellette Ave yesterday around 1pm , the car in front suddenly stopped when her dog jumped out of the car. The dog in a panic started running down the street frantically banging into things. The owner jumped out and began screaming "Hercules" come back and began running after her dog. To the owner- I am hoping you found him and he is safe and unharmed. I want you to know that my fiance and I drove around the block several times looking for your beloved pet and to see if we could be of assistance but were unable to locate you or your dog. I wanted you to know how upsetting it was to see this and we felt very upset being that we are animal lovers. I was also saddened to see a lot of passerbys just standing there doing nothing , not even attempting to grab ahold of the dogs leash as he was running. If you see this, please send a shout out and let us know. It's something that we will always wonder about . Hope he is safe.

I went to Ottawa this weekend to see my dying Aunt and when I got back to Windsor I found out my car had been stolen.
I am a student and work part time and I don't know what I am going to do without my car.
Please if anyone sees my car drop me a line with the location or call the Windsor Police.
It is a gold 1998 Chrysler Cirrus - licence plate # BTNK 059

To creeps who decided to help themselves to my personal belongings while I was at work, you've been spotted! I sincerely hope that it was worth it for the things that you stole. A 2 yr old laptop that isn't worth much, yet has priceless memories in photos. My deceased mother's jewelry, again, not worth a lot, yet priceless to me. My kid's game system and games, among other things. Police were called, finger prints and shoe prints taken. I hope you are found, but most of all, I just want my things back! I'm glad nobody was hurt, but my heart is aching it makes me so sad that people feel that they can help themselves to things that aren't theirs. If you have any decency, you will return the items as, as I mentioned before, they're not worth a lot of money, but hold priceless sentimental worth to me!

Yesterday at work, a customer had come through my till. I don't usually work on cash, but this shift was an exception. I made every effort to give my customer a smooth, friendly check out. I was polite as usual, asked if she found everything okay, and did my job with a smile on my face. As I handed her bag to her and wished her a good day, she turned to me and said "so you don't say thank you anymore?" ... I was so confused. And I asked, "pardon?" she repeated her question. I proceeded to say thank you and have a good day, clearly not understanding why she was so snarky with me. She stormed off with a big, loud "ugh" after reading my name tag. It completely ruined the rest of my work day.

To anyone who has been lucky enough to not work in retail: be nicer to those of us who do. Just because I'm standing behind the counter and you're in front, doesn't give you the right to blatantly disrespect me.

Signed,
The girl who'd rather work on the floor.

I went to the Colour Run today and spotted the Windsor Parking Meter Maids ticketing all of the cars on side streets parked at meters that expired. I know its the bi-law in Windsor. I also know that downtown Windsor has become a ghost town of only "bar-hopping" teenagers and vacant, abandoned offices and past retail stores. An event like the Colour Run brings OVER 10 THOUSAND PEOPLE to the downtown core, where the city NEEDS people to go. So I ask the politicians of Windsor to give me a great reason as to why you cannot have "slack" days for one day events like these in an effort to make Windsor downtown vibrant again, with a good economy. Personally, I parked in the FULL parking garage. But friends of ours had to go to the meter 2 times during the event to put in more coins. And on the final one, they had a Meter-Maid 2 cars down from theirs, hovering around, waiting for the final 3 minutes to tick off their meter clock. WAKE UP POLITICIANS!!!! And this event was in support of the local Alzheimer's Charity as well. Wake up Windsor Politicians!

Some companies underestimate the power of social media! One week ago yesterday....July 10 my mother contacted Sears Canada because her washer quit working and she had bought the service/ maintenance contract with them. My mother has bought maintenance contracts for every Kenmore product she has ever bought, which is all her appliances. They have made megabucks off of her. So.....On July 10, they gave her a date for the service rep to attend her house to make the repair - on August 6.....first date available! My mother is 82 years old....and the closest laundromat to her is at least 20 km away. But apparently....they don't care! I have been on the phone with Sears....on July 11...at which time I was told to escalate by emailing them....which I did on July 11. On July 15....I had not heard from them, so I emailed them again. Nothing. On July 16 I called them Marco told me he would contact dispatch and then email or call me in an hour. Did not happen!!! July 17, I called and spoke with Maria. Maria could not find any record of my call with Marco....surprise! Maria put me on hold and talked to dispatch who of course said there was no earlier time available. She told me she would escalate my complaint (after insistence from me) and the within 24 hours I would receive a call from "Jane". Well....that didn't happen!!! So today....July 18, I called again and spoke with Annette. Annette advised me that she couldn't get anyone there any sooner...so...I asked her to escalate and she told me the group that handles complaints already had it, and they would contact me next week! So....I ask...what day next week? Oh....I can't give you a day she says....just next week. I said..there are 7 days in next week...when do you suppose they might call....by Wednesday? Oh...I can't say...then you would expect a call by that day! Really?????? So I asked for her supervisor....who is not in the office, but might be there on Monday!!!! I am NOT giving up on this one!!! I will call every day.....every hour if I have to! And....then they have the nerve to say....if she goes elsewhere for service her maintenance contract will be null and void!!!! WOW.....great customer service!!!!! I have held my temper in every conversation....I have been polite and kind since the people I am speaking with are not at fault, but enough is enough!
