Fuckup number one: I put in an order early this morning for two prescription renewals by phone. I was told they would be ready by 10:30 this morning. They weren’t. So I had to wait five or so minutes for them when I arrived at around 11:25 am.
Fuckup number two: When I went to pay for my prescriptions my credit card was declined. This was news to me since I just paid off my credit card bill on 30 December. Thankfully I had emergency cash, something I have learned is essential in the digital fuckup age.
Fuckup number three: I chatted with my credit card company. They said my card was fine and should not have been declined. They said the problem was probably on the merchant’s end of the equation.
Fuckup number four: When I contacted my credit card company I not only went into my account and hit chat I also called them. When I got a call back they wanted my unique password which I have stashed in my computer somewhere because I can’t remember them all (there are a lot of them to remember, too many, in fact). I declined saying that chat had answered my question, that I did not want to spend minutes opening my file, and that I wanted to take a shower after walking to the pharmacy through 30 mile per hour winds and blowing snow only to find that my credit card was declined.
Fuckup number five: I ordered some books from Labyrinth Books. I had enough to get free shipping which was critical in my ordering the books. When I got the books two were missing. When I contacted Labyrinth and asked them for a revised bill which they never sent before I asked for it (bad form) I discovered I was charged for shipping because they did not have the two books I ordered and which, with the other books, gave me free shipping. CatchLabyrinth22.
I contacted Labyrinth about this, about not informing me that they did not have two books I ordered and that this meant I had to pay almost $9 dollars in shipping now. They wrote back telling me sorry, boy, you are shite out of luck and that if I wanted to send the books back I had to pay shipping. My response was what it should be: cancel my account, delete my account, I will never order from you again, and I will be filing a complaint about you with the attorney general of the state of New York. Have a good day.
