[QUOTE="Danny Tanner, post: 2652741, member: 10619"] KFC. Years ago I jumped in the drive-thru line behind one other car already at the menu, approximately 10:15 (45 minutes before closing). After several minutes, this car that was there for who knows how long before I got there, just drove off. I didn't know why until it was my turn. I sit there, I see the employees inside look at me, yet nobody comes over the intercom to take my order, or wave me up to the window in case the system is broken. I'm in my lower 20s with nothing better to do, so I decide to wait it out. 11:00 rolls around and they start turning the lights off. I decide it's time to see what's up. I pull up to the window, knock on it, and someone opens, "Can I help you?" I say, "Yeah, I'd like to order some food." She says, "We're closed". I said, "I know that, but you weren't 45 minutes ago when I got here." She said, "Sorry" and closed the window. This was at 23rd and Douglas. Britton Seed and Feed. They put up a no guns sign. I wrote them a polite letter, explaining that they have the right to put that sign up, but I ask them to reconsider it by either removing it completely or putting one up that allowed lawfully carried guns. I told them I respect their decision either way, but with the sign up I'll take my business where I feel more welcomed. I hand delivered it to the clerk who gave it to the management (I was unable to discuss this with them). I came back for dog food 2 weeks later, saw the sign up, backed out of my spot, left and never returned. Red River Roofing. I had a roof leak that I couldn't pin point, but knew it was around my chimney. I called them out and they agree to fix the leak for $250. They do the work, I pay them, and a few days later it rains. Guess what? Roof still leaks. I call them back and they come back out to fix it (they're only sealing it). A couple of days go by and it rains and my roof still leaks.
