Don't Fuck With Me

You miss the point.
This isn't about me, my wife or my relationship with my wife.
It's about the shift that has occurred in the balance of power between the little guy and the mega corporation.
The revolution in Egypt sparked through the use of Facebook has changed the world.

How 'little' are you? Maybe that's the real reason your wife is pissed.

So you're comparing you bitching and moaning on the phone for a couple hours to a revolution that overthrew a government? People have always been able to call up and bitch on the phone to get what they want.

Of course, the original crux of your post was not how much of a pussy/beta/loser you are, but the thread sort of evolved into that discussion.
 
If that lady knew anything about SEO she would have said, hey dickhead, all your links are probably going to improve our rankings and we'll do more business because of you. Cause no one will read your shitty blog post on page 3 when our site is page 1

Good luck bros
 
They probably sent your flowers because they knew you were a douche bag and that your wife is a bitch for caring so much about a retarded day.

L. O. F. L.

OP: I will SOCIAL BOOKMARK the FUCK out of your ass.

Customer Service rep: *snickers* (to coworker): I got one of those Warrior Forum newbs on the phone threatening to social bookmark us again, haha. Next he's gonna try to trade his ebook for some flowers.

You could have just manned up and done something special/creative for your wife instead of buying her cookie cutter roses. Instead, you spent hours arguing on the phone with peons and taking your sexual frustration out on someone who is just trying to get through their miserable job. Well played.

Dude, you come across as a big douche bag in this post.

If you were 'really' secure in 'who you are' and 'what you do', you wouldn't have to threaten anyone. All you are doing here in this thread, is shouting 'Look everyone - how long my dick is!!!'.

I get what you are saying with being frustrated with a big company. However, due to so many policies and procedures, human beings complicate these processes (cause they actually have minds of their own and each person interprets a rule 'differently') things can go sideways quickly. Understand that sometimes the process breaks. If you want to do something about, be smart about it.

Understand how business works and how large corporations do business.

Example: When they first allowed number porting for cell phones, I switched from Verizon to AT&T. After 4 weeks and over a dozen phone calls spending probably 5-6 hours on the phone trying to get my old phone number activated, I still had not resolution. They completely screwed up my order and the last person I talked to said: "Well, I re initiated the port again and in two weeks your old number should work". I'd had it.

Did I scream and yell, throw a hissy fit and threaten the lady? Nope.

Instead, I went to AT&T's website, found out who the CEO was, board of directors and senior VP's for AT&T at the time. I found out, what the internal email address scheme was for AT&T and acquired these 'internal' email addresses for all those folks.

Then I wrote a letter, outlining exactly what happened, who I was on the phone with, how much time and aggravation I had etc.

Emailed that letter To: CEO CC: Every director and Senior VP I could find.

Guess what, within 10 minutes one of the Senior VP's responded to me. The next morning at 6:45am (I sent this about 6pm) I had a personal email from the CEO apologizing and saying he'll get it fixed. By 8am I had a phone call from a line tech saying everything was fixed and if we could run some tests. Which we did successfully. By 10am I had two more supervisors call to verify that everything was working. By noon the CEO's secretary called and apologized and comp'd me 2 months of cell phone service.

If THAT would have not worked, I would have contacted all of the major shareholders for AT&T etc..

Long story short, my point is: most people here, have some incredible skills. Be creative... When dealing with big companies find out, who the people are, that CAN help you and contact them directly. You'd be surprised how helpful and apologetic they are if you are a) calm b) reasonable/factual and most importantly c) non-threatening. Nobody likes a douchebag.

Remember that they are in 'business' for the same reason you are and don't like to see things 'fucked' up. If they get enough 'calls' due to a certain situation - they will FIX it.

Oh, one last thing: VD is the BUSIEST day in the flower industry by far. My local florist tried to hire a ton of help and couldn't find any for that day. Apparently people aren't interested to work only for 2-3 days. Ordering from a big company might be 'easy' but not necessarily smart. Contact your local florist, check out their website and then go down there and meet the owner. If you get along, make friends with him and offer your SEO services in trade.

Help him make money and I bet, your dear wife will receive 'special' arrangements on every occasion....
 
Gertex - ah a person who makes a lot of sense.
I've been in Business for 36 years... i know how things work and i know how to get things done in a calm and efficient manor.

My original post was not about me being a bitch, whining and all that crap the trolls are doling out.

The xyz.com flower company fucked up big time. They are in the flower biz and vd is their day to shine. with the economy the way it is, there is a huge pool of workers who would jump at the 3 day job op... IF the xyz corp cared about customer service. after searching online for other info on how to get what i paid for i found lots of negative feedback and reviews. Should have looked first.

This is not about posting links to ruin their biz, its about reviews and feedback that companies live and die by today. It wasn't so even a few years ago. Where could you complain about getting screwed? "Channel 7 eyewitness news on your side"?

Times have changed ... abruptly. That was the point of my post. Those who have control of the "review and feedback" process have suddenly gained power and those of us that can spread a message far and wide quickly have tremendous power. My threats weren't the first attempt at fixing the situation. I was pushed by the various people as i was moved up the chain of command... each person doing as little as possible to fix things and just trying to get me off the phone. In my business the customer is always right and i do whatever i can to make things right especially if my company fucked up.
 
xyz.com, the flower company totally fucked up my valentine's day arrangement to my dear wife who proceeded to make my life hell for "my" oversight.
You must be married to a Kardashian or another Hollywood diva. If I was your wife I'd go nuts with appreciation just for making the effort. Possessed by teh debbil, both of youse!
 
what in christ's name are you on about? You call her your "dear wife" yet she gives you shit over some flowers, and then you have to flip out on a flower company because she has your balls?

put down the scrapebox and DFB and mad se2 skillz and go read Citizen Renegade for the next month and get your self-respect and balls back.

Read your post but sorry I don't buy it. You might have wanted to show that folks have a lot more power now, however your main point still came across to me (personal opinion) - look at me I got a 12 inch dick.

You are incorrect in some of the things above.

While their goal is to 'shine', their main GOAL is to make as much money for their shareholders as possible. Their goal, is to fulfill the most number of orders, as satisfactory as possible. They screwed up with yours. Out of how many orders? 100,000? 50,000? Any order screwed up is to many but what 'failure' rate is acceptable?

Well, you must be much better then myself and others with the HR thing. We are having a really crappy time to find GOOD, QUALIFIED candidates for a lot of positions. The flower shop put up flyers, contacted unemployment office etc. with little to NO luck.

Did you actually take the time to complain at the TOP? instead of jumping through hoops going from one supervisor to the next? Channel 7 is not a bad idea actually... why not? if it works. Are you trying to solve the problem or are you just wanting to throw a hissy fit?

The customer is NOT always right... It's a BAD way of running a business. 80% of work, a lot of time is generated by 5% of your customers. Guess what? Those are the customers I fire and don't do business with. They are not always right and can be a huge pain in the arse. Not worth my time and energy UNLESS they create 90% of my business.

Times have changed... We'll find out in 20 years if it was for the better...
 
how much did the flowers cost?

how much is your time worth?

i can understand being pissed and getting some sort of compensation for their mistake or even just to let them know how to improve their customer service/business but at some point are you losing alot more time/money/energy than it is worth.

i like flowers but sheesh they are so cliche on vd. would rather my husband not waste the time or $$. would rather put that time and/or $$ in our business ventures or family time.

Bro, whats up with you and Egypt/Facebook? I think you might have mentioned it in every post in this thread.
 
Although i get the point you're eluding too, you didn't get hooked up because you're a scary seo and have power... It's because you were persistent and they decided to get rid of you. I used to work in customer service and that result could have been had without the internet being involved or talked about in any way.
