kristof65 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 OMG... Currently arguing with a customer about ~$800 in credit card transactions. This is part of that big processor issue from the weekend. Anyway, this guy wants to be paid for transactions that were recorded in his system, but for which the system errored out, and the customer was not given a wash. Now I can see how he might not have understood the various flags and that he needed an explanation, but I've now explained it to him three times, and he's still not understanding that he's not supposed to be paid for those transactions. You don't charge someone for something they didn't get, even if the system still has their transaction data in the buffer. All he is seeing is eight hundred dollars! and not listening. He just wants to be paid for them before the data is flushed from the buffer. I have half a mind to manually delete the buffer and say "oops, too late." But that could cause other issues if we need to look up a valid transaction. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Khan Artist Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Mumsy and I took Lillers to Jonston Canyon on Tuesday. We don't usually go to the Park, but it was really fun. The ice had the most beautiful blues in it, I was playing name that paint shade with the icefall. The trail is about 2.5 km one way to the upper falls. Half way out, Lilly had to have a dump. I think she lost a pound. I dutifully bagged it and told Mumsy to tie it on my backpack somewhere where it would be out of the way. She tied it on the bottom loop, and it swung back and forth and hit me in the behind for about a hundred meters before we were laughing so hard we had to move it. No one else on the trail could figure out what was so funny, so we got a lot of strange looks. Anyway, there are no outhouses or trash cans on the trail, so we packed her parcel for about 7 km. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, yes, but I don't think it's intentional. I think it's more about reading comprehension. I was going back over a previous conversation I had with the distributor tech about this same site a while back, and saw where she had told me English was not his first language. I had forgotten that. He hasn't responded back since my last email, so he may have finally gotten it. 10 minutes ago, TGP said: Speaking of: what happened with that sales guy who demanded contact info from you before he would cough up an estimate for a (seven?) bay wash site? (Where Little did he know there was litigation afoot with not much prospect of new business…) So the sales guy has blown me off and not given me the generic quote, like I asked. On the flip side of things, I haven't heard back from the landlord guy, either, so I haven't pushed it. Based on my conversation with the General Manager, I think I can probably get away with writing the quote myself - which will piss the sales guy off, but meh, I don't care. Cross that bridge when it comes to it. But it doesn't just end there if you're looking for drama. The car wash owner sent me a link to an old local paper article about the landlord. Apparently, he's a realtor and he did this to a restaurant owner - tried to take over their burger business when their lease was up. The community was up in arms over it because after kicking the old burger place out, he changed one letter of the name, and added one menu item, and tried to basically use the goodwill the previous business had built up. He didn't even bother to change the menu font. There are even allegations that before the lease was up, he entered the restaurant after hours and copied all their recipes and operating procedures. So I'm hoping that either the car wash owner will prevail OR the landlord will buy his new equipment from one of our competitors. And as I'm proofing this before I post, I realized that some of the info said landlord guy gave me, combined with some things @Green Eyed Monsty paints one interesting possibility. I asked him if he had any car wash experience, because it's not about picking up your quarters once a week - it's hard work. He told me he used to work for his grandfather's all cash business when he was growing up in a city well known for it's mob connections.
