Losing Patience and Tons of Cash.

Well, the PC shop said they'd look at the PC Wed, maybe sooner. They didn't. They said it'd be DONE Wed if not Wed then Friday. Well yesterday was Friday and they were CLOSED. Yeah. Thanks a lot PC shop.

They KNOW 100% of my cash relies on having that PC. They tell us false things. Great. Yeah. I can afford a month long vacation... heh. The bank surely will wait for their money, right? *Sigh* I'll be lucky to pay my bill this month at this rate. So much for paying the bill in full by December. That's impossible now.

I'm on the laptop now.. but commenting on it is difficult as I only have the clumsy track pad and no mouse on this PC. I'm trying to hit some of your content, but until the PC shop gets their act together I'm still stuck. (Boy am I going to suggest - read: pretty much insist - that they give us a discount for not having it done when they said it would be. That PC is my JOB. That's pretty darn important... and yet they still take their time with it. :-(

sounds like that should be a deep discount

Any way to get a loaner from them, at their expense of course?

I'm sorry to hear about your troubles with the PC shop!! I hope that when they are finally open again that you can get your computer back in one working piece!!

Doesn't sound like a good place to me. I do that for a living and I would never take that long. Did they give you a reason like they had to order parts or whatever? Some places are a real joke. Hope you get it back soon. Good luck.

Hope your p.c. is better soon.

I was thinking about that loaner as well....and yes make sure to get that discount.

I sometimes take longer than people would like when I'm fixing computers - especially now that I'm back in school full time and I really don't WANT to do computer repair jobs... but I try to be honest and up front with my customers...and if I say "It will be ready...." .... it will. And certainly, I put a higher priority on computers that are used for business purposes.

I'm sorry you're getting bad customer service.

Jennifer, I hope you get it back soon.

Soory to hear - good luck!

Sorry for your troubles. I keep a mouse hooked up to my laptop. The pad thing makes me crazy so I cover it up with a coaster. Hope all smooths out soon.

I'm sorry to hear that! I hope it gets fixed soon.

Fie on them!!! My sympathies to you. And some hugs.

If you depend on a computer, you need a backup, more than a laptop, unless you haev one of those super laptops.

I have known a lot of computer techies, and some of them are good, but a lot are clueless, and only TOJ training. I'd get righteous with them demand a disount, and make thems how you any parts they removed and replaced.

Put a curse on them.
