But refused to get "greased".
I was watching TV yesterday afternoon and a 3M advertisement came on, showing a new product, an "easel pad" that sticks to the wall, similar to a desktop "scratch pad".
They offered a free one if you went to their website, but when I did, I found a note that said "All samples are gone.".
That made me angry...why advertise something --even something free -- if you don't have the product? That's the first step in the classic business con game "bait 'n switch" and I emailed them and told them so, also saying that such practices made me think less of ALL of their products.
I got an email from them just now saying they'll be sending me one of the pads.
I got the power.

read this lat week and meant to comment. Geesh. Not like 3M and Velcro are going to go broke passing out free samples.
A few months back I bought a cholesterol test kit and it didn't work and griped to 'em and got a replacement.
I used to hardly complain about things, but here lately - and I'm sure it's because I'm gettin' old & cranky - I refuse to put up with poor service. I can take a bad mood, but don't have to tolerate someone being surly to me, esp. if my business where they work is paying their wages.
I get a LOT of free samples, all sorts of things. Even female-type things. Did you know a sanitary napkin makes a great pad to shine shoes?
Thanks for posting! (((hugs)))
