• Commented on Slimmer, Cheaper PS3 Coming In September

• Commented on Apple CSR Ignores Company's Warranty To Recharge Customer's Love
  I wonder why Consumerist redacted the store he went to. Employee protection incase an Apple boss fires him or something? Seems like a positive, from the consumer's end, story that would get more people to go to that store....

• Commented on AppleCare Takes A Bite Out Of Customer's Data-Recovery Dreams

  So wait. He contacted the customer service, she got the store to charge 59.99 for it, like the site says, but he went and bought it at Best Buy anyways? There's something missing here. When did he contact the CSRs?...
• Commented on Classmates 'Gold' Status User Quits, Can't Get Her Gold Back
  @morganlh85: Never been a member of any subscription site, have you? Auto-renewal is standard industry practice. There is nothing new about this. Kelly, and yes I'm blaming the OP, is at fault here for checking into that before it renewed....

• Commented on Circuit City Auctions 30 Million Customer Contacts

• Commented on Discover Customer Snookered Into Payment Protection Plan
  But even if the product isn't worthwhile, which is up to the OP to decide, two different callers assured him he would only be receiving an information packet. The service itself is not the bad part, it's the way the...
• Commented on Chrysler Won't Let Customers Out Of Credit Monitoring Service Without A Fight
  @gaywolverine: Yeah I'd check the fine print of whatever the OP signed to see if they snuck it in there. But even if they did, the fact that they're denying the ability to cancel or making it complicated is bullshit....
• Commented on Reader Isn't A Bad Person, Just Doesn't Want To Round Up His Grocery Purchase
