Customers' Revenge

Here is how you can save up to 3.5% on a round trip flight in Canada, off any fare.  If you're from Alberta you might as well stop reading now because you can't save anything!

Am I still alive? Have I gone to heaven? Am I dreaming? My insides feel giddy and I don't know what is real and what is imagined. Why? I just went to the Bank of Montreal to pay my line of credit. Sounds normal to you? How about this: My request was processed in less than two minutes!

As background I encourage your to read about the farce that ensued last time I tried to do something with a cheque from another bank.

Changing a Subaru Legacy 1999 knock sensor is dead easy. You need only a socket wrench with a long extension, a pair of strong scissors, and thin fingers.

A new sensor will cost around $120 online.

Good ol' Tim's (Tim Horton's) seems a little aggressive to it's employees. There are two fairly public cases in recent history. The older happened nine years ago when a worker named Charlene Walsh was caught on a security camera stealing two dollars from the cash register. She was fired.

However, the camera did not catch her stealing. It apparently only caught her removing two dollars from the till. The two dollars was a tip. Think 8 customers give 25 cents so you change them for $2, or a single customer gives a fiver for a three dollar order.

Isn't a bank's reputation worth anything anymore?

I got the following note attached to my Line of Credit bill this month:

"In our continuing commitment to keep our clients informed, we are sending this out in advance to you. Effective June 26 the difference between prime and your line of credit interest rate will be increasing by 0.5%.”

Well, well, well.  I've certainly had terrible experiences with Air Canada in the past and comparatively excellent experiences with Westjet in the past.  However, since about the beginning of this year my opinions have been proven stale.  I had a bad experience recently on Westjet so I tried Air Canada for the first time in years.
