To whom it may concern regarding FYE:

My name is Clinton. I visited FYE store branch #1029 in Lenox Square Mall on September 14th, 2009, to pre-order 4 Blu-ray films (Wizard of Oz, Snow White, How I Met Your Mother Season 4, and Transformers 2) and renew my soon-to-expire FYE Backstage Pass card. I visited again on September 29th, 2009, to pick up my copies of Wizard of Oz and How I Met Your Mother. No problems so far.

I returned exactly ONE week later, on October 6th, 2009, to pick up my reserved copy (read: I placed money on this movie at this specific location, FYE #1029), to find an empty storefront, missing signs, and no lights whatsoever. FYE #1029 has completely disappeared without any warning whatsoever. There was no posted contact information. I still, at this point, had $10 in reservations on Snow White and Transformers 2 at this location, and now a useless Backstage Pass membership, as I refuse to travel outside the city for over an hour in one direction to use your shady company’s card.

I’ll repeat myself. I now am missing $10 in reservations at this location for reservations that cannot be fulfilled. I HAVE BEEN ROBBED. This is entirely unacceptable, and furthermore, completely ILLEGAL. I have attempted to contact the company via the phone number provided on my receipt, and it is disconnected. I have attempted to call the 1(800)-818-1941, and, to no avail, have left messages with contact information to a generic machine recording. There was no option to talk to a real person here.

It is here that I extend my efforts before I bring this to the Better Business Bureau. I demand that my money be returned to me, and I also demand that my money be refunded for a now defunct Backstage Pass card #466715671599, as this ordeal is, again, entirely unacceptable. In addition to the card refund, I also demand my personal information deleted from your systems.

I anticipate a response to this email that is not a generic, computer-generated response.

Signed,
Clinton

I am in for a long day today. It’s about a quarter to 8AM as I write this now, and I’m sitting at work, waiting to be able to clock on. I got here about half an hour early this morning. I guess it was nerves…

You see, I have a phone interview set up today at 5:30PM for a job to work at the Apple Store in Lenox Square Mall in Buckhead, Atlanta. I’m nervous and yet wholly excited if this all works out – I could have some extra income this school year and be able to afford little things here and there, not to mention the Disney trip I want to go with Tricia on this New Year’s… and helping her feel financially secure in Atlanta is a big part of it too. But… Comcast is still a bucket of fail and hasn’t reconnected the phone line they accidently cut (seriously now, who DOESN’T survey land when they dig??) and I have crappy cell coverage at home, so it looks like this phone interview will be done from the seat of my car in a quiet (cell-covered) parking lot…. somewhere.

So my MacBook Pro came in! The same day I got the initially email from Apple, too. XD That was this past Thursday, and I have spent every day loving this beautiful machine. I’ve got it just about entirely set up – the only thing left at this rate is for The Sims 3 to arrive with Splash’s package so I can install it and torture explore the Sims community. Meanwhile, I have the white Macbook all set up to be wiped and reformatted with a fresh install when I sell it to Talon come Thursday when he is paid. I’ll miss it, actually. That computer was a fantastic companion… so to speak.

Egads. Time to work. I’ll try to add to this later, but if I don’t, wish me luck!
