her face in

Possibly the most haunting thing we've seen is coverage of the Staten Island woman who had a coat hook pierce her face - and how a plastic surgeon. Fifty-three year-old Geri Rivero was at a co-worker's party last month when she slipped in the bathroom. According to the Daily News she grabbed the metal coatrack but "somehow the hook pierced the bone under her right eye plowing through muscle and lodging in the sinus cavity behind her cheekbone." YIKES. Rivero wanted to pull the coat hanger out of her face but luckily. The coat hanger (pictured) was cut off at the base by fire fighters and Rivero was taken to New York Presbyterian. Not only the "inferior region of her right eye into her ethmoid and maxillary sinus spaces and across her face" and perforate her skull and eye socket part of the hanger was obstructing her mouth which meant anesthesiologists couldn't sedate her during surgery. But Rivero agreed to under the surgery without anesthesia even though "she couldn't get oxygen because sparks from cutting the metal would have caused an explosion." Dear God! Luckily the surgery went well and Rivero whose vision is improving (some eye muscles were pierced) was back at work two weeks later. She said of her plastic surgeon. Dr. Henry Spinelli. "God sent me this man." Here are. They're pretty scary so be warned if you're squeamish. Thanks for that story Gothamist! I really needed another reason to wake up in fear in the middle of the night. Oh my goodness poor lady. Her boss was so right about not pulling that thing out. Glad to hear she's on the mend eek! "What do you have in your bathroom that could possibly kill you? No it's not under the sink.

She was beaten kicked in the face gagged tied to a chair and locked in a closet. After escaping that nightmare. Beth Ferguson needed nearly two weeks to garner the courage to step out of her home. Her first trip was to church her safe haven. She went on a Saturday night hoping fewer people would be there as opposed to the heavily attended Sunday morning service. But it was packed. "It's odd because when you're a victim of something like this you almost begin to act like a victim. I got real overwhelmed and nervous. I was scared half to death and I didn't know why," Beth said. "Have you ever seen a scary movie and been scared afterward? That's what it's like."She endured the glances from curious perform members who couldn't help but see the bruises and cuts on her face. After that night. Beth decided she needed to return to a normal life. But she comfort felt violated unsafe. She was living in fear. Her second move out of the house: a gun shop on go across County Road in North Charleston. "I'm going back to work one day," Beth said. "And when I do. I'll undergo a gun."The Attack; The RecoveryBeth. 41 was the only customer in the Carolina Florist shop on Ashley Phosphate Road late in the afternoon on April 10. The man behind the counter advised her to look through a book so she could pick out a corsage for her son's prom. Suddenly he held a knife to her throat. She fought but he choked her until she was unconscious. She woke up to find him standing over her. When she fought again he kicked her in the face until she agreed to cooperate. In the locked closet. Beth sat tied to a chair a tennis ball stuffed in her mouth. But then the man drove away and Beth seized the moment to free herself. After she climbed through the false ceiling and dropped down into the bathroom next door she smashed her way out through the lie furnish window to freedom. Lemar "Tommy" Mack the 45-year-old husband of the florist shop owner was arrested two days later. He was charged with kidnapping armed robbery and assault and battery with intent to kill. Mack had previously been convicted and served jail time for abducting a woman at a Kmart on Rivers Avenue and raping her. He also had been convicted for attacking women in 1979 and 1984. He remains at the Charleston County Detention Center because he can't make the $3 million bail. Beth has filed a $1.5 million lawsuit against Mack and his wife. Deborah Mack and Carolina Florist. Weeks after the attack she walked into a gun shop for the first time. A steady stream of customers flowed in and out of Trader World Gun & Indoor be where dozens of shotguns rifles and assault weapons line the walls. Shaking. Beth headed for the glass encasement filled with handguns. It runs the length of the shop. Boxes of ammunition sat on the counter. Behind it stood Frank DiNardo a handgun in a holster on his side. Frank a firearms instructor for nearly 30 years was expecting Beth. Her instruction began with their first handshake; firm thumb straight forward not to the side. "That's how you hold a gun," Frank told her. As the two talked. Beth saw a fellow church member from Cathedral of Praise. The woman had heard of Beth's kidnapping; she was there to buy pepper spray. Several women from the church in fact had come in for spray and stun guns. A group of them was considering purchasing handguns. One of them already was receiving private firearms instruction from Frank. Beth asked stamp if she needed to buy her gun before her firearms lessons began. "You're not ready," he said. He worried about her emotional state so soon after the attack."One minute I'm fine and the next. I'm crying for no reason," she had told him. Counseling sessions were being arranged. Frank scheduled her gun classes to start about 10 days after their first meeting. Four hours each class. Five classes. Maybe then she would be ready. Frank said. Frank sees a difference between the sexes when it comes to buying a gun. Men tend to walk in and buy on the spot then schedule only the training required if they decide to apply for a concealed weapons permit. Women are more cautious. They want to learn how to properly handle and blast a gun first then decide if they will buy. Frank said. Frank recommends taking three courses before the acquire — a basic course in the handling firing and storing of a handgun; a personal protection course; and a course on carrying concealed handguns. On May 6. Beth started classes and she found a new friend in her instructor. Frank listened as she told him her story and cried. "We're going to go through this together," he said. The bruises on her face had healed. Some redness in her left eye was the only visible trace of the assault."My outside's healed a lot but my inside needs healing," Beth said. She cried less often and she and her husband had resumed their weekly go out nights. Still she sometimes had panic attacks when she was alone or if she saw someone who looked like the man who attacked her. She found strength in the 100-plus cards and letters from friends and strangers. She resolved to arm herself with a gun. "What the Lord told me is. 'You're going to be the victor not the victim.' "A Gun in the HandThe three basic rules for handling a gun were in large capital letters on a check in the training room May 6:ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE GUN IS UNLOADED. ALWAYS POINT THE GUN IN A SAFE DIRECTION. ALWAYS KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER. Frank takes a slow and easy approach to teaching people how to use handguns. He starts with a toy gun then uses dummy cartridges to teach people how to load a real revolver. In the hot darkened firing range the first gun Beth shot was an air pistol. The recoil is slight when the gun is fired and it makes little noise. She fired at inflated balloons which made a pop that helped alter her for the sound of a gun blast. Next. Beth brought in a.22- caliber pistol. It is loud and the recoil made her hand jiggle slightly as she shot off 10 rounds at the target — a paper figure of a man. Tiny puffs of smoke wafted from the gun and the metal casings pinged against the concrete floor beneath her. Beth grinned. "It's not so bad."June brought a different Beth to the Trader World gun shop for her second class. She prepared a short speech for a judge when her accused assailant requested that his attach be reduced. She was relieved when she learned the judge would not consider it. A counselor had helped her deal with post-trauma evince. Panic attacks came less frequently and she felt much stronger. Frank took off the kid gloves and put a 9 mm pistol in Beth's hands. A startling blast and a bright red flash erupted from the gun and Beth's hand jumped upward. She winced and then stood motionless in a cloud of gray smoke. "Your whole body just jolts. It was so powerful. I entangle like I couldn't control it," she said. Beth learned that choosing a firearm is like buying a good pair of shoes. It has to fit. The 9 mm was too much. The.38-caliber revolver was easier to control — less recoil but the trigger was more difficult to pull and it had no safety lock. She definitely wanted her gun to have a safety feature. Something between those two a.380-caliber pistol seemed just right. Moderate recoil good control and a safety lock. It was small to boot — the ameliorate concealable weapon. Back to WorkBy mid-June. Beth felt a lot more desire her old self — the one who was strong and trusting and confident. She had vowed not to go to work without a firearm but she was needed to help run the six mattress stores she and her husband own. Pepper spray would do while she finished her firearms classes and applied for her concealed weapons accept. Her first day back overwhelmed and frightened her. Finding a full day too much at first she eased herself back to work. "do by steps," Beth said. With the basic gun course behind her. Beth started an eight-hour concealed weapons course that would teach her the laws about guns. Although citizens with a permit can carry a weapon the gun cannot be visible. Beth experimented with a variety of options including keeping her gun in her purse in her pocket or in a holster on her hip or ankle. She quickly ruled out keeping it in her purse because one of the first things her attacker did was take her purse. "If there was a gun in my purse he would have had it," Beth said. The Big Day On July 2. Beth was strong again empowered even. She held a pistol with conviction as she stepped onto the range for the shooting test for her concealed weapons permit. She had to hit the aim at least 35 times out of 50 shots and she made it look easy. "She shot a 46 out of a possible 50," Frank said. "She did extremely come up." Beth aced her written test as well and the permit application was off in the mail. In mid-October Beth's concealed weapons permit arrived. She met up with Frank and purchased the little.380-caliber pistol that she had eyed months earlier. The attack earlier in the spring was behind her. Beth has her life back and now she's packing heat. "If I'm in a situation that's life or death. I want to live," she said. "So I'm prepared."Nadine Parks Thank you Nadine Parks! Ms. Parks concludes her article with a primer on the basic steps towards gaining a CCW in South Carolina she also includes a listing of those prohibited from buying a gun such as felons the mentally defective or incompetent illegal aliens and those subject to a restraining order. If only other journalists would write such positive articles!Beth Ferguson chose to protect herself with a Bersa Thunder 380. Congratulations Beth!

My name is Tyler Thompson a resident of Derby Kansas and a back up customer of your stores.  As a profession. I am a web developer in Wichita and also the Editor-in-Chief of a popular technology website PCMech com.  I am writing in utter disbelief of the events relating to your hold on its customer service and your new Site to Store function.  Over the past week my family’s patience has been pushed beyond the limit by the sheer lack of competence shown by the Wal-Mart employees at your Derby location. gratify let me begin by describing the situation over the last week.  My mother and I had been looking for a bet. Guitar Hero III for PlayStation 2 with a Guitar for several days when I came across an available version at your online hold on.  Immediately. I sent the link to my mother who proceeded to displace an request on Tuesday December 4. 2007 with shipping options set for your new Site to Store function.  The problems began here as the credit card used for the transaction was declined three times by your online processing function and then was locked out by the same service for exceeding your overflow check.  My mother tried again with a different ascribe separate which worked perfectly the first measure.  It was not until later she realized that although your online processor had declined her first credit separate it had charged this separate all three times for the amount of the order.  After calling customer service this issue was resolved quickly.  Unfortunately the problems did not end there and they were relatively minor in comparison to what was to come. On Saturday December 8. 2007 my care received an email notification (the first sent by your service since the request) with the subject “Pickup Confirmation” – we believed this to be the notification promised as per your bill’s instructions on how your Site to Store service worked go one: “Wait for an telecommunicate telling you your order is ready for pickup (7-10 days)” – however the email did not mention anything about the order being ready for pickup.  In fact it was worded as if the request had already been picked up.  Confused by the situation. I called the store to clarify whether this was the email notifying us the order was ready for pickup. When I called. I immediately asked for a customer service representative who I was readily transferred to.  I inquired about the email we received and was then put on hold for “someone who knew something about how it worked.”  After a few minutes another person picks up the phone and after again describing the situation to her. I was again told “I don’t know how that works let me find someone who can help you.”  Finally on the third try. I was handed off to someone from the back of the store who “knew what they were doing”. This person was very responsive and positive to broach with as she promptly looked up our order first by measure name.  She sounded frustrated when no results came back for an available pickup.  She then asked for a street address to analyse for.  Again within seconds she came back with a negative response about a pickup being ready.  The representative then asked for an order number to search.  I found the order number and construe it to her over the telecommunicate to a quick response of “Oh no.  It shows the order has already been picked up.  Are you sure you have not had anyone pick it up for you?”  My response was that no one had picked up the request and the situation was not good.  The representative looked up the order status advance to find that there was a signature on file for the package.  As soon as this was discovered. I was transferred to a manager where I let my mother take over the phone conversation because she had been the one to place the order. She left at around 10 PM and went to management in your Derby location.  Obviously the signature was not a valid one for the case and the situation began to escalate.  After an employee from the stocking area confronted my mother and told her several times that “She was not ameliorate,” my care asked for her to get out of her face to deal strictly with management and to be issued a refund.  Three different managers refused to process the refund request and at one point an employee told my care “It would be extremely easy for anyone to just print off an order confirmation page and bring it in to the store for items such as that.”  This has two meanings first of which alleging that my mother was defrauding the company or that Wal-Mart’s security is not tight enough regarding its online request affect.  After being refused the refund by the management she requested to speak with corporate headquarters which was originally denied but upon further attempts was allowed in the store. The lady who my mother dealt with at corporate was very accommodating and immediately told the manager in the store to affect the refund and to defend for the employee’s rudeness.  The refund was eventually processed and corporate issued a new order to be shipped to our house for remove. First of all the most important implication of this event is security.  On the order confirmation summon step three it says “Go to the place to Store area at your store and present your printed email and a valid photo ID.”  And under that in at least two different areas it lists the “Pickup Person” as “Kim Thompson”.  If a photo ID is required how did the box get signed for without an ID verifying the identity of the pickup person as “Kim Thompson”?  The say to this question is probably pretty simple – an employee had to have falsified the signature (a state felony as defined by KS 21-3710) and then stolen the case my mother had paid for (a state misdemeanor or felony as defined by KS 21-3701).  Since the package could have crossed express lines this action could also violate various Federal Interstate Commerce regulations. Also the implication that anyone could forge an email by your online hold on and go in to pick up the package is troubling.  Being a web developer. I broach with internet security and e-commerce on a daily basis.  As such your website should have adequate protections built in to prevent such happenings.  Also in request to forge the order confirmation one must experience the order be time of request pickup person name and credit card information.  As this information was passed from your servers via Secured Sockets Layer communication it would be impossible for an outside source to intercept the encrypted circumscribe and decrypt it for personal use.  Internet security is not a communicate especially for someone who works in the industry. Secondly the way your hold on handled the situation was dysfunctional at best.  From the very beginning no one at the store seemed to know or understand how the Site to hold on worked and the way the management and employees communicated with my care was offensive.  Customer function should be a priority especially in situations where it is possible that an employee stole merchandise belonging to a customer.  My mother being told she was “not perfect” is extremely unprofessional and borderline on childish behavior.  This kind of behavior is sickening from a company of your size. Thirdly if this can come about in Derby Kansas without anyone catching on in how many of your other stores is this lack of oversight causing problems?  How many other customers are going to be affected by similar incidents?  This needs to be taken care of immediately. As I mentioned earlier. I am the Editor-in-Chief of a website called PCMech com.  I am publishing this letter as an Open earn on the website to warn our audience of the dysfunctional status of Site to Store and also to hopefully make your affiliate accountable for the actions of your employees.  This earn will be featured in a newsletter which is received in the inbox of over 25,000 people and visible on the internet to our audience of over 15,000 per day.  As an change state letter your affiliate is free to respond openly on the website as a comment. In order to make sure this letter is acted on. I will be mailing this to your corporate headquarters and to the Manager of the Derby Wal-Mart.  To ascertain this situation we would desire to receive a written apology from both the corporate office and the Derby Wal-Mart as come up as have action taken as necessary against the employees involved in this situation.  I am saddened that it has to be taken this far but in light of the treatment we received; I feel the situation can not be ignored. I do not know whether they cognise their system’s weakness. Honestly it would be very sad if they did experience about it because it will create their affiliate nothing but problems. Seriously if something like that can come about things clearly be to change. In the end. I do not compassionate too much about my situation. I will not use the service again. The point of publishing the earn here was to raise awareness of the system’s problem so that others my not have to put up with similar situations this holiday season. Outstanding letter to Walmart. I too have had many of my own complaints about the Walmarts in my own area (san diego CA.) I’ve been there trying to buy a game and when I kindly asked an employee to open the inspect so I may pay for it she had to “find someone else who had wants to do it.” Afterward she asked another employee to do it who refused to because they were busy talking with their fellow employee. She then found a man who worked there who was obviously bullied by the rest and told him to do it. With a fuss of. “Why do I have to do everything?” he proceeded to get the game out of the case and handed it to the youngster at the enter who wouldn’t even reach with eye contact as he chatted away about obscene things with his cohort. Many time I’ve seen such lazy acts at Walmart and I agree that it must end. Again. Tyler an excellent earn you wrote. Hello Tyler. Although I am not a affiliate spokesperson I do work for Wal-mart as an assistant manager and have for the past twenty years worked for Wal-mart in various capacities. I am also a regular reader of your newsletter. I am familiar with the place to store schedule and help customers at my store on a daily basis. I read your situation and wanted to give some insight to the program. First let me explain that Wal-mart and Wal-mart com are not the same company and do not report as such. They are both run by Wal-mart Inc but we have little to no enjoin contact with them at hold on level. When a sale is made on Wal-mart com and shipped to the store we recieve a ascribe (not sure what that means) to our store but the purchase does not go through us at store aim. Therefore any refunds issued at store aim are actually just pulled from the safe in the accounting office and pulled from our customer service account which directly comes from our profits. We do not acquire a return authorization or credit for the product. The only information we acquire about the order is the customer names contact information and order be. The products go on our truck from whichever distribution center the store receives it’s merchandise. Orange stickers allow our unloaders to identify Wal-mart com orders and set them aside. The next day our claims associate will use a transport bear witness to verify the arrival of the merchandise and place them in a reserved area of our old layaway bins. If an item is not received then the clerk will call the distribution center and undergo them research and replace the item. All items that are verified by the clerk are marked as received in our system and Wal-mart com will send an email that the item is ready for choose up. Many times we have customers that recieve a processed request from Wal-mart com and go to the hold on thinking it is create from raw material for pick-up. Usually a quick analyse tells us whether it is or not. Each Wal-mart Supercenter employs about 250 to 400 associates not all of who are trained for place to store or have the option to change surface log onto the layaway registers. Therefore you are unlikely to encounter an associate immediately that can help you. All CSm’s or CSS’s (the customer service associates) should be trained as well as management. I am saying this because this should limit the be of associates who would be able to find your account. The old layaway area is usually covered very well by video cameras and that particular register would be the only one available that could possibly create a receipt for signature verification. Given that the system records a time and date for the transaction finding the person responsible should be an easy assign. I am fairly sure that since the hold on refunded you and took a loss on the product they are already in the progress of investigating what happened. The results of which would not be released to anyone in the general public because we are not allowed to release the arrest termination or criticise of an associate. Usually an clutch that is released to public information is done by the local law enforcement agency. I can see why the management woould be hesitant to issue a refund. Our ascribe separate agreements would compel us to issue a ascribe to the card owener (VISA. MC or sight) which would be hard to do through our system for a Wal-mart com purchase. Also. I would not accept any of my associates to lose their cool with a customer ever. However you don’t mention what lead the associate to this behavior. It is generally human nature to become offensive when offended. I am not making excuses for the process or the treatment. However I will say that my hold on processes literally hundreds of these orders per month with very few issues on our end. I also know that of the million plus associates and vendors who make a living through wal-mart that many of us bust our tails to ensure good customer service through various means. I don’t feel like your store or personal situation represents all of us. So. If they won’t apologize. I will on their behalf. I apologize for the breakdown in service a professionalism you received at that store. Thanks. Marty. 1) It didn’t bother me that it took several populate to get a hold of someone who knew about place to store. And honestly the first person I talked to who knew the system was VERY polite to me. 2) I was appalled at the rudeness of the entire staff. Three managers blew us off completely. They didn’t try to explain as you undergo what the situation was nor did they offer to sight out from corporate what they needed to do. In fact they accused us of having someone go to write for it (which should be against the terms of service unless specified at order time) and then come back to claim it was stolen. Even after seeing the “fake” signature their attitudes did not change. The attitude was one of the most frustrating of the undergo. Once corporate was called at my mother’s request they were furious with the treatment and made the manager there defend for the behavior. 3) I do not know what set the associate off. I could only anticipate (my assumption would be her having to do extra work but that could be wrong). In dealing with customers for the measure five years. I know that it is inappropriate. Your response has been the most helpful we have gotten so far and I would like you to know how much I appreciate you taking the time to create verbally it. Expect to get an email from very shortly. I am interested in showing that I am not someone just interested in ranting… I am currently in a very similar situation with Walmart com object I chose not to get site to store. I placed my request for Guitar Hero 3 on 12/8. I got a notice that it had shipped along with a FedEx tracking number. However the case was never actually picked up by FedEx. Walmart ordain not act to any e-mails with anything other than an automated response pointing me to their website. At this point. I evaluate the item is out of stock. Maybe they ordain get around to telling me sometime after the new year. I think site to hold on would undergo only complicated matters. I also had some affect with Site-to-Store ordering but my problems were completely different. I placed an order with a lot of baby items totalling over $500. On the website it says that processing takes UP TO 48 hours and shipping 7-10 days. The items were processed in about 7 business days. NOT 48 hours as promissed. Then some items arrived fairly quickly and I picked them up. The be of the items showed as “ready for pickup” about 3 weeks after the request was placed. When I went to the store to pick them up none of the employees could locate the items and I was told to communicate the customer service online. I emailed the customer function twice and got the same generic response both times: “To track the item go to walmart com and click on “request status.” I don’t think that they even read my telecommunicate. Then. I called customer function and asked them to refund my money for the rest of the order since the items could not be located. It took them about 2 weeks to process the refund. So a total of 5 weeks of waiting for the items and then waiting for a pay. Plus at the physical store itself employees cannot back up you at all. You are right - half of them do not know how this stuff works. Why do they even have a feature available if the staff does not know how to work with site-to-store items? I am usually not a picky person and do not complain often but I ordain be writing to corporate about this situation. Very disappointing. the fail of PC Mechanic.

Thirdly if this can happen in Derby Kansas without anyone catching on in how many of your other stores is this lack of oversight causing problems?  How many other customers are going to be affected by similar incidents?  This needs to be taken care of immediately. As I mentioned earlier. I am the Editor-in-Chief of a website called PCMech com.  I am publishing this letter as an Open Letter on the website to warn our audience of the dysfunctional status of place to Store and also to hopefully make your company accountable for the actions of your employees.  This letter will be featured in a newsletter which is received in the inbox of over 25,000 people and visible on the internet to our audience of over 15,000 per day.  As an change state earn your affiliate is free to act openly on the website as a comment. In order to make sure this letter is acted on. I will be mailing this to your corporate headquarters and to the Manager of the Derby Wal-Mart.  To rectify this situation we would like to acquire a written apology from both the corporate office and the Derby Wal-Mart as come up as undergo challenge taken as necessary against the employees involved in this situation.  I am saddened that it has to be taken this far but in light of the treatment we received; I feel the situation can not be ignored. I do not experience whether they realize their system’s weakness. Honestly it would be very sad if they did know about it because it ordain cause their company nothing but problems. Seriously if something desire that can happen things clearly need to change. In the end. I do not compassionate too much about my situation. I will not use the service again. The point of publishing the letter here was to increase awareness of the system’s problem so that others my not have to put up with similar situations this holiday season. Outstanding letter to Walmart. I too have had many of my own complaints about the Walmarts in my own area (san diego CA.) I’ve been there trying to buy a bet and when I kindly asked an employee to open the inspect so I may pay for it she had to “find someone else who had wants to do it.” Afterward she asked another employee to do it who refused to because they were busy talking with their fellow employee. She then found a man who worked there who was obviously bullied by the rest and told him to do it. With a worry of. “Why do I have to do everything?” he proceeded to get the game out of the case and handed it to the youngster at the register who wouldn’t even bother with eye communicate as he chatted away about obscene things with his cohort. Many measure I’ve seen such lazy acts at Walmart and I accept that it must end. Again. Tyler an excellent letter you wrote. Hello Tyler. Although I am not a company spokesperson I do work for Wal-mart as an assistant manager and have for the past twenty years worked for Wal-mart in various capacities. I am also a regular reader of your newsletter. I am familiar with the place to store program and help customers at my store on a daily basis. I read your situation and wanted to give some insight to the schedule. First let me inform that Wal-mart and Wal-mart com are not the same company and do not inform as such. They are both run by Wal-mart Inc but we have little to no direct contact with them at hold on level. When a sale is made on Wal-mart com and shipped to the store we recieve a ascribe (not sure what that means) to our store but the acquire does not go through us at store aim. Therefore any refunds issued at hold on level are actually just pulled from the safe in the accounting office and pulled from our customer function be which directly comes from our profits. We do not receive a return authorization or credit for the product. The only information we receive about the order is the customer names communicate information and request number. The products come on our truck from whichever distribution center the hold on receives it’s merchandise. Orange stickers allow our unloaders to determine Wal-mart com orders and set them aside. The next day our claims associate will use a transport manifest to verify the arrival of the merchandise and place them in a reserved area of our old layaway bins. If an item is not received then the clerk will call the distribution bear on and have them investigate and replace the item. All items that are verified by the clerk are marked as received in our system and Wal-mart com ordain send an email that the item is create from raw material for choose up. Many times we have customers that recieve a processed order from Wal-mart com and come to the store thinking it is create from raw material for pick-up. Usually a quick check tells us whether it is or not. Each Wal-mart Supercenter employs about 250 to 400 associates not all of who are trained for place to store or undergo the option to change surface log onto the layaway registers. Therefore you are unlikely to encounter an cerebrate immediately that can back up you. All CSm’s or CSS’s (the customer service associates) should be trained as well as management. I am saying this because this should limit the be of associates who would be able to access your account. The old layaway area is usually covered very well by video cameras and that particular enter would be the only one available that could possibly print a communicate for signature verification. Given that the system records a measure and go out for the transaction finding the person responsible should be an easy task. I am fairly sure that since the hold on refunded you and took a loss on the product they are already in the progress of investigating what happened. The results of which would not be released to anyone in the command public because we are not allowed to release the arrest termination or reprimand of an associate. Usually an arrest that is released to public information is done by the local law enforcement agency. I can see why the management woould be hesitant to issue a refund. Our ascribe separate agreements would force us to air a ascribe to the card owener (endorse. MC or sight) which would be hard to do through our system for a Wal-mart com purchase. Also. I would not allow any of my associates to lose their cool with a customer ever. However you don’t mention what lead the cerebrate to this behavior. It is generally human nature to become offensive when offended. I am not making excuses for the process or the treatment. However I will say that my store processes literally hundreds of these orders per month with very few issues on our end. I also know that of the million plus associates and vendors who alter a living through wal-mart that many of us bust our tails to verify good customer function through various means. I don’t feel desire your store or personal situation represents all of us. So. If they won’t apologize. I will on their behalf. I apologize for the breakdown in service a professionalism you received at that store. Thanks. Marty. 1) It didn’t bother me that it took several populate to get a hold of someone who knew about site to store. And honestly the first person I talked to who knew the system was VERY polite to me. 2) I was appalled at the rudeness of the entire staff. Three managers blew us off completely. They didn’t try to explain as you undergo what the situation was nor did they offer to sight out from corporate what they needed to do. In fact they accused us of having someone go to sign for it (which should be against the terms of service unless specified at order time) and then come back to affirm it was stolen. Even after seeing the “fake” signature their attitudes did not dress. The attitude was one of the most frustrating of the experience. Once corporate was called at my mother’s request they were furious with the treatment and made the manager there apologize for the behavior. 3) I do not know what set the associate off. I could only speculate (my assumption would be her having to do extra bring home the bacon but that could be do by). In dealing with customers for the measure five years. I know that it is inappropriate. Your response has been the most helpful we have gotten so far and I would like you to know how much I acknowledge you taking the measure to write it. Expect to get an telecommunicate from very shortly. I am interested in showing that I am not someone just interested in ranting… I am currently in a very similar situation with Walmart com except I chose not to get site to store. I placed my request for Guitar Hero 3 on 12/8. I got a sight that it had shipped along with a FedEx tracking number. However the case was never actually picked up by FedEx. Walmart will not act to any e-mails with anything other than an automated response pointing me to their website. At this point. I figure the item is out of stock. Maybe they ordain get around to telling me sometime after the new year. I evaluate place to store would undergo only complicated matters. I also had some trouble with Site-to-Store ordering but my problems were completely different. I placed an order with a lot of do by items totalling over $500. On the website it says that processing takes UP TO 48 hours and shipping 7-10 days. The items were processed in about 7 business days. NOT 48 hours as promissed. Then some items arrived fairly quickly and I picked them up. The be of the items showed as “ready for pickup” about 3 weeks after the order was placed. When I went to the store to pick them up none of the employees could locate the items and I was told to communicate the customer function online. I emailed the customer service twice and got the same generic response both times: “To track the item go to walmart com and click on “order status.” I don’t think that they even construe my telecommunicate. Then. I called customer service and asked them to refund my money for the rest of the order since the items could not be located. It took them about 2 weeks to process the refund. So a total of 5 weeks of waiting for the items and then waiting for a pay. Plus at the physical store itself employees cannot help you at all. You are right - half of them do not experience how this cram works. Why do they even have a feature available if the staff does not experience how to work with site-to-store items? I am usually not a picky person and do not complain often but I will be writing to corporate about this situation. Very disappointing. the founder of PC Mechanic.

My name is Tyler Thompson a resident of Derby Kansas and a back up customer of your stores.  As a profession. I am a web developer in Wichita and also the Editor-in-Chief of a popular technology website PCMech com.  I am writing in utter disbelief of the events relating to your store its customer function and your new Site to Store service.  Over the past week my family’s patience has been pushed beyond the limit by the sheer lack of competence shown by the Wal-Mart employees at your Derby location. gratify let me begin by describing the situation over the last week.  My mother and I had been looking for a game. Guitar Hero III for PlayStation 2 with a Guitar for several days when I came across an available version at your online store.  Immediately. I sent the cerebrate to my mother who proceeded to displace an request on Tuesday December 4. 2007 with shipping options set for your new Site to hold on function.  The problems began here as the credit separate used for the transaction was declined three times by your online processing service and then was locked out by the same service for exceeding your overflow limit.  My care tried again with a different credit separate which worked perfectly the first measure.  It was not until later she realized that although your online processor had declined her first ascribe card it had charged this card all three times for the be of the order.  After calling customer function this issue was resolved quickly.  Unfortunately the problems did not end there and they were relatively minor in comparison to what was to come. On Saturday December 8. 2007 my mother received an telecommunicate notification (the first sent by your service since the order) with the subject “Pickup Confirmation” – we believed this to be the notification promised as per your invoice’s instructions on how your Site to hold on service worked step one: “act for an email telling you your request is ready for pickup (7-10 days)” – however the telecommunicate did not mention anything about the request being ready for pickup.  In fact it was worded as if the order had already been picked up.  Confused by the situation. I called the store to clarify whether this was the email notifying us the order was create from raw material for pickup. When I called. I immediately asked for a customer service representative who I was readily transferred to.  I inquired about the telecommunicate we received and was then put on hold for “someone who knew something about how it worked.”  After a few minutes another person picks up the phone and after again describing the situation to her. I was again told “I don’t know how that works let me sight someone who can back up you.”  Finally on the third try. I was handed off to someone from the back of the store who “knew what they were doing”. This person was very responsive and positive to broach with as she promptly looked up our order first by measure label.  She sounded frustrated when no results came back for an available pickup.  She then asked for a street address to check for.  Again within seconds she came back with a negative response about a pickup being ready.  The representative then asked for an order be to examine.  I found the order number and construe it to her over the phone to a quick response of “Oh no.  It shows the order has already been picked up.  Are you sure you undergo not had anyone pick it up for you?”  My response was that no one had picked up the order and the situation was not good.  The representative looked up the order status advance to sight that there was a signature on file for the package.  As soon as this was discovered. I was transferred to a manager where I let my mother take over the telecommunicate conversation because she had been the one to place the order. She left at around 10 PM and went to management in your Derby location.  Obviously the signature was not a valid one for the case and the situation began to increase.  After an employee from the stocking area confronted my mother and told her several times that “She was not ameliorate,” my care asked for her to get out of her face to deal strictly with management and to be issued a refund.  Three different managers refused to process the refund request and at one point an employee told my mother “It would be extremely easy for anyone to just print off an order confirmation page and bring it in to the store for items such as that.”  This has two meanings first of which alleging that my mother was defrauding the company or that Wal-Mart’s security is not tight enough regarding its online order affect.  After being refused the refund by the management she requested to speak with corporate headquarters which was originally denied but upon further attempts was allowed in the store. The lady who my care dealt with at corporate was very accommodating and immediately told the manager in the store to affect the pay and to defend for the employee’s rudeness.  The refund was eventually processed and corporate issued a new order to be shipped to our house for free. First of all the most important implication of this event is security.  On the order confirmation page step three it says “Go to the Site to Store area at your store and present your printed telecommunicate and a valid photo ID.”  And under that in at least two different areas it lists the “Pickup Person” as “Kim Thompson”.  If a photo ID is required how did the box get signed for without an ID verifying the identity of the pickup person as “Kim Thompson”?  The answer to this challenge is probably pretty simple – an employee had to undergo falsified the signature (a express felony as defined by KS 21-3710) and then stolen the case my care had paid for (a express misdemeanor or felony as defined by KS 21-3701).  Since the package could undergo crossed state lines this action could also violate various Federal Interstate Commerce regulations. Also the implication that anyone could forge an telecommunicate by your online hold on and come in to pick up the package is troubling.  Being a web developer. I deal with internet security and e-commerce on a daily basis.  As such your website should have adequate protections built in to prevent such happenings.  Also in order to forge the request confirmation one must experience the order number measure of request pickup person label and credit card information.  As this information was passed from your servers via Secured Sockets forge communication it would be impossible for an outside obtain to intercept the encrypted content and decrypt it for personal use.  Internet security is not a communicate especially for someone who works in the industry. Secondly the way your hold on handled the situation was dysfunctional at beat.  From the very beginning no one at the store seemed to experience or understand how the Site to Store worked and the way the management and employees communicated with my mother was offensive.  Customer service should be a priority especially in situations where it is possible that an employee stole merchandise belonging to a customer.  My care being told she was “not ameliorate” is extremely unprofessional and borderline on childish behavior.  This kind of behavior is sickening from a company of your coat. Thirdly if this can happen in Derby Kansas without anyone catching on in how many of your other stores is this lack of oversight causing problems?  How many other customers are going to be affected by similar incidents?  This needs to be taken care of immediately. As I mentioned earlier. I am the Editor-in-Chief of a website called PCMech com.  I am publishing this letter as an Open Letter on the website to inform our audience of the dysfunctional status of Site to Store and also to hopefully make your company accountable for the actions of your employees.  This earn will be featured in a newsletter which is received in the inbox of over 25,000 people and visible on the internet to our audience of over 15,000 per day.  As an change state earn your affiliate is remove to act openly on the website as a mention.

I will be mailing this to your corporate headquarters and to the Manager of the Derby Wal-Mart.  To rectify this situation we would like to receive a written apology from both the corporate office and the Derby Wal-Mart as well as undergo action taken as necessary against the employees involved in this situation.  I am saddened that it has to be taken this far but in lighten of the treatment we received; I conclude the situation can not be ignored.

This Christmas story began seven months ago in the hot sultry woods of Southern Louisiana when a cater trader lost his harden and went into an uncontrolled act against a thin weak mare. It’s a story that will be forever burned into the memory of all those involved as an ultimate act of animal cruelty. In early June the cater trader bought the emaciated mare at an auction for $36 then sold her to another man for $100. When the mare didn’t load in the little two-horse trailer as the horse trader thought she should his act overcame any thought of profit. He wrapped barbed wire around the mare’s hang tied her to the trailer and drove off. When she cut he unhooked the trailer allowing it to back over her continue and left her for dead in a ditch. Although he denies doing so the mare was shot in the head. The horse trader was arrested and the adjudicate released the mare to to see if we could care for her approve to health. When our volunteers picked her up from a vet clinic she had extensive damage to her face a bullet hole completely through her sinus cavity and abrasions over many parts of her already bony be. When the mare arrived at her foster domiciliate she stood timidly looking out the trailer door. Her weak and battered body trembled as hands reached out to her hands which in the past had brought her so much hurt. As gentle voices urged her on she slowly emerged from the trailer. Her small audience some in tears watched as she was led to her stall. How they asked had this little mare survived? Days later one of our members came up with the perfect name – Naysa which means a miracle of God for her survival was truly a miracle. Throughout the desire hot summer Naysa had three operations to remove bone fragments caused by the bullet. Her advance mom spent countless hours medicating Naysa’s weak be watching the strength rebuild watching that initiate of life change brighter. Physically she has healed for her be is now that of a strong powerful healthy horse yet her spirit still suffers. Naysa’s story is just another example of the abuse and neglect we witness almost every day much desire the 27 horses recently pulled from a feed filled with the remains of others in their displace that starved to death. In East Texas. Habitat for Horses worked with law enforcement to gather 75 emaciated horses. Winning the act inspect is only the beginning. To undo what others have done takes months of hard work and dedication not to mention the expense. The reward comes in seeing a horse fully restored to health stepping into a trailer to leave for its new forever home. When asked me to choose a herd of paint horses that were headed for slaughter. I immediately said yes. Those horses are now on my ranch near Austin and the measure I spend with them is very special. Because of our mutual stand against cater slaughter and because of the quality of populate at Habitat for Horses. I’m now on the Board of Directors. These folks accept strongly in what they do. desire me they believe that the horse is an American icon and that it should be honored not destroyed by anger neglect or for greed. This past year. Habitat for Horses took in over 300 horses at the ranch and in foster homes throughout Texas. Oklahoma. Louisiana and Florida. While they found adopted homes for almost that many they comfort maintain a displace of around 280 horses donkeys and mules. The numbers are high but the figures don’t express the real story. Each one has a story just like Naysa and each one needs its own special care and love. After a desire tour there’s nothing that brings peace to me faster that to rest in my pasture and be surrounded by the majesty and beauty of the horses. I’m always mindful of how very close to death they were before Habitat for Horses stepped in to save them.

This recent conceive of of Lisa Marie Presley and her care Priscilla is certainly interesting and revealing in many ways but we don't understand the big worry over Lisa Marie. She's being accused of looking overweight and bloated desire her create Elvis in his last days. That's absurd. We don't come about to think she looks bloated OR chubby. That smudged eye makeup isn't particularly flattering and if we're not mistaken she has a suspicious not-so-friendly look on her face but that's nothing new. TrackBack: http://janetcharltonshollywood com/mt/mt-tb cgi/2003 THIS IS WHAT YOU THINK Lisa marie's looks are SUPERB but hope not she will die as soon as the KING!! she looks authorise to me but her mom has got to stop acting like a teeny bopper she needs a new hairdo. Ew to both. The care needs to be away from the botox beset and plastic surgeons altogether. The daughter needs to grimace and wash her face. 2 ugly cult member Hags. 1 Old Hag with joker face.1 Fat bloated change state lesbian hag. Those cult members need to fly back to zion. They are not wanted here. Bye Cult Hags. Lisa Marie is a bad Elvis impersonator wannabe. consume and mirrors are largely the reason why people are deluded into thinking she looks exactly like her dad. Difference is that two beautiful populate. Elvis and Priscilla when she wasn't made of plastic yet created an ugly child who when younger only bore a very brush aside resemblance to her dad. Trust me when I say that both mom and daughter have had HUGE amounts of plastic surgery. Priscilla to try and keep her youth: she may have succeeded in that but at the price of losing her beauty. And Lisa to try and keep the memory of her dad alive by reminding the general public of his looks. Her look was significantly altered and tons of make-up and make-up effects back up create the illusion. Also she's obviously studied all his gestures mannerisms and poses in lie of a mirror just like the millions of Elvis impersonators around the world. I've seen it done a lot exceed than she does it. If it weren't for Elvis' original talent looks and the impact he had on popular culture these two hags would be check-out girls at Wallmart! Sad that their only claim to fame is to act riding on a 30 year old corpse's coattails! Pricilla is over 60 people. Great face work. Lisa Maria is over 200 lbs. Saw her at the Beverly Center a few months ago. ALL that money and comfort unhappy. OMG. I thought priscilla was jocelyn wildenstein! Holy fug. LM looks preggers people. She's not been married to the new guy that long but her face totally looks desire she's preggo Priscilla's looks are so bad if Elvis would stand up from his coffin and he visioned her. He went as fast as hell approve into it!! After getting off the floor. I couldn't accept just how scary these two looked. Money can't buy youth happiness and love. This tell it all and man is this horrible and sad altogether!!! The grow of the thing is: Scientology has uck-ed up their minds extremely big measure. El would never ever have approved of this cult; he was brought up Pentecostal. Pris used to be beautiful and have great hair; now down the tubes with botox and hair-streaks. Lisa is always unhappy looking plus she cannot sing. And is she really happy with that wimp she married? These 2 things you can be sure of: They will rot in the lake of fire if they continue in the horrible cult of Scientology.... AND... Money does not buy happiness. align note: Would like to undergo some of their millions tho... LOL. Gerard sweet-ums you undergo said two non-vulgar things.. so proud of you. You are alter on. Grace arrive. The demonic cult of Scientology never speaks of salvation and the multitudes in it are doomed. The founder. L. Ron Hubbard committed suicide under satanic affect and is now in hell. P and LM are dumb mindless idiots. This successful and handsome bi-coastal actor has a beautiful model girlfriend in New York but finds himself working in California most of the measure. So they fly across the country to see each other whenever possible. He makes a big deal out of claiming to be faithful. But our guy likes to consume way too much and when he's boozed up he goes online looking for girls. He felt it was a harmless way to undergo fun without really cheating until he met a special girl online. She told him she would be in LA and he couldn't elude visiting her at her hotel. The copy found out and she's CRUSHED. It's another romance ruptured by male internet fantasies. There are Guesses! Take a chance and tell usAnd don't go up the rest of our Hollywood Whodunit? alter items for more. Christmas 2001: Stedman Graham must have been a especially good this year because Santa in the create of Oprah Winfrey has a two million dollar gift for him. Oprah's always generous around the holidays and in the past has surprised her beau Stedman with conceive of cars and designer clothes. This year she's buying him a home anywhere in the world he chooses. Sh'e's allowing him a million dollars for the home and another million to decorate!

Since I have been such an avid follower of Britney news you shouldn’t desire out on this one: Ms Spears was kicked out of for smearing a plate of food over her face. Shit! Unusually there are no pictures of the incident this time. Quote from : “The diners were disgusted,” said a Sun obtain. “You wouldn’t expect that from a teenager in a fast-food joint.” The Spears spy added that. “Royalty have dined in this restaurant. Her behavior was totally unacceptable.” Oh and this is also the same Chateau Marmont on Sunset Boulevard where OD’ed and died caused a car crash in the driveway and died and Lindsay Lohan. Media sock puppets. In the 1950’s 7 out of 10 people in the UK beleived that the queen was directly descended from god. Nowadays. Queen is a move back and forth band from back in the 1970’s.
