NotAlwaysRight Stories

[csquared]

It is working for me. I have had problem with the site getting "stuck". I found that refreshing the page (F5 on most browsers) can clear it.

Are the "notalways*" sites updating? I've been seeing the same stories since the weekend. From two separate devices, on two separate networks. (And separate ISPs for that matter.)

I've seen new stories on the Facebook pages, but their main sites don't seem to be updating.

I've been seeing new stories this week.

Maybe the guy is on vacation.

The real problem here is at the beginning: "I’m a manager at a restaurant with a drive-thru. A customer pulls up to the speaker box and proceeds to tell the order-taker that she had come through last night and her three chicken sandwiches were cold. She says she spoke with a manager and was told to come by for a replacement. The company’s policy is just to replace the order with or without proof."

This sort of policy is exactly WHY there are so many scammers and SC's running around!

XC: They've been around for a while. AFAIK, their main customers are movie and TV studios who just need to fill a wall with books that nobody's ever gonna read (e.g. old law books for scenes in law offices, or scenes where a specific color scheme/book binding type is desired), as well as places like doctor's offices, as they can simply request "four feet of miscellaneous children's books" or the like. It can also be a source of relatively cheap books to fill a library or used bookstore with if they haven't gotten enough donations or overstock transfers from other locations.

This submission asks: Just how much is your willie worth, anyway?

This story describes the people who keep Argabarga in business.

Tow-tal Idiots, indeed.

It warms my heart to know some bosses care more about their employees than profit...

Oops!

Manager could at least have told the SC that they were sold out on that night, that his stupidity was getting him put on the DNR list, or (if "making a reservation"), giving him directions that would land him nowhere near the place (i.e. for a hotel in Florida, telling him to get off I75 2 exits south of I40, then look for certain landmarks) - so that the SC would never encounter the desk clerk.

[Lace Neil Singer]

Not that I agree with the actions of the manager, but some SCs can't be hung up on cuz they will just keep on ringing back. Maybe blocking the number?

[eltf177]

I agree, Irving - the idiot raised holy hell with the hotel staff who had absolutely ZERO clue about what was happening.

The manager should have called the hotel and made sure they were getting the misprinted number fixed asap and just had his employees tell callers "the number is misprinted, the correct number is xxx-xxx-xxxx", then hang up.

Caller is an idiot who needed to listen but you know is the complete SC...

I have very mixed feelings about this one, which can go either way. Read the story and the comments...

I don't. It's shitty to create a situation that inflicts a SC on somebody who did nothing to contribute to it. Some poor desk clerk probably got screamed into a sobbing mess over the manager's "pwnage."

Caller is a blockhead who needs to put on his listening ears and accept he might be wrong. Hanging up on him would've been a better solution.

The Specific Lengths People Will Go To For Books

What's funny about this is there is a web site that sells what he wants.

Okaaayyy....

Me, I like my mismatched books of all shapes, sizes and colors on my eclectic bookshelf!
