Ditto. In fact, a Huron chief even went to a Board of Regents meeting to request that it NOT be changed and they changed it anyway.

Stopped going to a favorite restaurant because we paid with a $20 and the waitress insisted we paid with a $10. They told us "If we're $10 over at the end of the day, then we'll call you." My ex-husband (boyfriend then) asked the manager to count the drawer right then and they did. It was $10 over. No apology, nothing. They practically threw the money at us.

Will never buy something from a particular furniture store because they sold me a lifetime warranty on my leather couch stating "It will even cover tears from pets" but when my dog tore the couch, they wouldnt' cover it.

And then there's stamps.com. Sign up for a "free" 28 day trial period. On day 26, I call to cancel, but they do not have customer service on Saturday or Sunday. I call on Monday, which is day 28 and it is Martin Luther King day, so they do not have customer service. I call first thing Tuesday morning and they have ALREADY charged my visa for a full month because I didn't cancel before the end of the 28th day. Oh, and does that mean I get a month from that day? NO. My month started when my trial period did. So, I didn't get 28 days free. I paid for them on the 29th day.
