Jim Loy's Complaint Department

BOOM!At the left, we see my tool for removing shrink-wrap from CDs. This is a page where I let off some steam. You don't get to complain, I do. Well, go ahead and complain. It's a lot of fun, actually. I recommend it.

"By dint of railing at idiots you run the risk of becoming idiotic yourself." Gustave Flaubert

"Why must I lose to an idiot?" Aaron Nimzovich (chess master)

"If I had nothing to complain about, now that would be something to complain about." Jim Loy

"Man Refuses to Shop at Stores with Bad Service, and Starves to Death!!" My fantasy headline

Some of my complaints get results. My email shows that more and more, my pages are warning off people from scams like A Scam from Nigeria.

My complaints:

See Dumbth - by Steve Allen, for some of his complaints about the dumbing of America.


Good service (no complaints here):

It is so pleasant to get good service. You really want to spend more money there again, don't you?

At a restaurant, I ordered a sandwich. I was asked what kind of salad I wanted. I said no salad. The waitress substituted my lemonade for the salad. I appreciated that. They didn't have to throw out my salad, and I got my lemonade for free. And the waitress got a tip that could buy her a sandwich.

I bought a video from Accu-Stats Video Productions (they make pool/billiard videos), and they sent me the wrong tape. I sent them email. They told me to keep the wrong video (one that I was going to eventually buy, anyway), and they sent the right one by express mail, for free. Good people. I will keep going back to them, forever.

My computer has had several hard disks from Western Digital. Some of these have failed, but I think they are good in general. Western Digital is very helpful about diagnosing and replacing their disks. You can download a good diagnostic program. You can even diagnose your disks problems right on the WWW if you want. And they will replace bad hard disks without question, once you tell them what the diagnostic program said.

On a bad day, I received an inferior meal at Bob's Pizza Plus. They gave me a free meal. And they seem to generally produce good pizzas and other products. My hat is off to them. Now where did I put that hat? Later: I have now had more meals there, and their pizza is generally low on cheese, and soggy with grease.
