Old Fridge Dies...Replace it. Simple? no!
First Stop , Mennards in Fishers on 96th. looked around, found a couple of maybes. A nice employee answered a couple of questions about warranty, and delivery & said there was a rebate available too.
next 2 right down the street Home depot and then Lowes. shitty selections in both places and no customer service or even half assed attempt by bored employees to acknowledge us .
then we went back to Mennards (fishers) to buy the first one from the nice man, but he was gone for the day. we were ASSisted by a condescending bitch with a bad hair dye job ( sort of like she had her period but on her head) who tried to sell us on a different size fridge, despite us telling her the dimensions of our old one. we need one close to that size or slightly smaller. we told her again the one we wanted. I suppose she wanted us to get a more expensive one. She was annoying, and when she told us a higher delivery fee than the other guy said and that there was no rebate( other guy said there was) we walked out.
Next Stop : Fry's Electronics. I for the most part like this place. we found a bunch of fridges. It came down to a whirlpool or some off brand from the far east, itchypussy or something like that. we picked the whirlpool, delivery and bought the extended warranty. filled out paperwork, waited for something to go through and finally proceed to the cashier to pay. we write a check. they take checks. however since they have an antique check verifying system from the 90's they had to actually call my bank to verify the check. most banks don't have humans who answer the phone ,mine is no exception. So either the cashier could not get through to a live person she couldnt verify the check and do we have another form of payment?? nope, not my fault your POS /check system is old. Is this not Fry's ELECTRONICS?? Even wal mart takes checks with no hassle.NEXT!
went to Another mennards in Carmel, nice man helped us. picked out the fridge, warranty etc. he goes to ring it up and it keeps coming up at a higher price than the tag on it. AGGHHHHHHHHHHHH. nice man said they don't let him change prices. but if we take the paperwork to the customer service desk with the tag showing the lower price, it can be changed there. ok so we did, it took them a few tries but finally they were able to correct it, set up delivery time and send us to the cashier to pay, which we did with a check.
Why the fuck is it so hard to buy things?? Everyone talks about the recession and nobody is buying anything and retail is slow. yeah I 'm sure it is but when someone does try to spend money only to be put through the ringer , maybe there is another problem.
I suppose this could happen anywhere but it happened in Indiana and Indiana sucks dick.
