They don't make the laws

[Arcus]

Except for Utah. Everyone ther figures that they're exluded from anything fun

Not all of us. Some of us know that the fun is there and don't care if we get funny looks for it.

[alogram]

I frequently think there should be a skill-testing question required to use the INTERNET. Sheesh, people make my head hurt!

Why the heck would they think "Waaaahhhh, they don't like me!"??

Some people.

My store does a lot of deliveries but because of the laws we can't deliver or operate in that province either, it doesn't stop people coming to the store to get mad about it or yelling at our managers because they can't ship their item to their grandchildren.

There's nothing stopping them buying it and shipping it themselves but apprently it's OUR stores fault that christmas is ruined/ grandchild won't be getting this item for her birthday/ we kicked a puppy

[Food Lady]

First, "we kicked a puppy"-- !! Second, I'd be tempted to get all sarcastic and respond, "Why, yes, we are discriminating against people in Quebec because they are whiny and don't read. We don't want babies participating in our contest."

Man, that is the longest run on sentence I've ever seen. Jay, you've got a career made for bureaucraticese.

"Woman #2" is back again today.

At least send this proposal only to those that can enter the contest!

This is discusting

¨POST ANYTHING YOU WANT THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE that we receive offers that we cannnot participate

They already stated that the COUPON (which is the other part of the promotion, and probably the reason they got the email or FB notice) is valid in QC stores.

OMG...give it up already.

[RealUnimportant]

You know, if you combine those rules & regs for Canadian contests you'll see that the real reason these noisemakers can't enter the competition is because they've failed the skill test!

[Ree]

Oh yeah, and another thing that's bugging me is the ones whining about links not working.
Ummm...if the links are working for all 150 people who have commented so far, then I think it's safe to say they're working and you are the one with the problem.

Also, they have repeatedly posted that people aren't able to use the FB app from a smartphone to enter, but they have provided directions on how to enter using a web browser.

They clearly state it has nothing to do with them, and it's the way the FB app is set up, yet people are still posting, "I can't get my phone to enter. This is bogus..." and even after the instructions are given over and over again, people are still blaming the retailer.

[RootedPhoenix]

.....they must really enjoy complaining, then. Sheesh.

I distinctly remember a contest held a while back for a bike. You had to draw a picture to enter and in the rules it stated (in big, bold letters) that the winner would be picked randomly. I never entered because, as an artist, I would pour blood sewat and tears into the damn thing only to see some 5 year old win with his blue and orangle squggles. And that's exactly who won. Naturally, all the SC's piped up whining about how that drawing sucked and how their drawing or their kid's drawing was way better

I actually remember a colouring-in competition that was held at my local Game Store. I was quite friendly with the owner (still am) so when I walked in one afternoon, they were judging the competition. They asked for my help, so I pick the 3 best looking ones. I was then told "no it needs more squiggles in it" So while the best looking one DID win, the second and third ones had to look like second and third place ones.

When they did the colouring-in comps at my previous job, they did them in age groups and the selection process was merely the best looking one from each age group. One of the entries was done in red pen by a former coworker

Every once and a while we get items on sale in state A, while in State B they are either not sold or can't be sold on sale due to some different laws.

Does that stop SC form coming in with the print ad that lists the fact that the sales only apply to store in state A. No. Does that stop them form blaming us for the law. No.

Call your state Rep. or Sen. and take it up with them as we don't make the laws.

I'm stuck with the limitations of the board.

AAaahhggghhhh!

I wish I could claim credit for that, but I borrowed it from Pratchett. That's the Dis-organizer Mk. II's warranty. (See "The Truth")

[PepperElf]

Another woman just posted complaining about the exclusion and questioning why she got the email, then.

makes you want to say.... "well obviously you know how to read your email, so what part of 'Quebec laws are to blame' can't make it past your eyes and into your brain?"
