Yes, it pays to have a voice, and a blog is one way to get one.<br /><br />Since I don't spend my time watching commercials, I guess I'm blessedly oblivious to which big, bad, evil corporation that might be :D<br /><br />...which is just as well. Besides, I have a healthy aversion to any store which begins in "W" and ends in "s." Which is another way to round that corner to "happy."Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-90346447463491130142013-01-07T13:46:10.877-06:002013-01-07T13:46:10.877-06:00You GO, Girl!!

The SS office in Ames, Iowa was quite disturbed that I was bothering them and they were certain that I had no business calling them. With a few curt questions she finally referred me to Joel, and he was an answering machine. I called them on the national level and after 30 minutes of pushing buttons and just waiting through their bad music, I actually talked to a person, a nice woman, who took my information. <br />The IRS has no intention of talking to you but they will gladly send you bills with hundreds of dollars of interest and fees attached to it. I still have not talked to a human from the IRS. <br />Staying calm and carrying on sign originated when England thought that Hitler was going to take over their country physically and they printed them to put up, once the Nazis had taken over their island. The IRS has taken over the land already. L.

Too often we give up because it is not worth the hassle, and that is what they expect; thus, they continue ripping people off.

I have always been hesitant to use gift cards as I have had them "it doesn't work accept it on our machine" more than once. And if you have tried to use it in a restaurant it really blows cuz now you have to pay for the meal out of pocket.
