QVC Gift Card.

Pro-Ject # Three: Fauxplaints – Time Warner Cable II

Read the original Time Warner Cable fauxplaint here before continuing. Soon after Time Warner received the fauxplaint, they contacted my friend and apologized profusely. He was unaware of the complaint and was quick to deny sending it in. Time Warner ignored what he said (as per usual) and forwarded his “complaint” to QVC. A few weeks later, […]

Oh Stop It.

Pro-Ject # Three: Fauxplaints – GameStop

It’s been a long time, but we’re back with the Fauxplaints, folks. More businesses and more fake customer dissatisfaction. And your contact information. In fact, here is Brendan’s recent fauxplaint to GameStop: “I’m not sure if “I received the wrong item” covers it. I bought the Madden 2012 video game for my son’s birthday and […]

The Tanzanite Jew

Pro-Ject # Three: Fauxplaints – Time Warner Cable

“Dear Time Warner, I’m writing because of an extremely disturbing discovery I made tonight while searching through my “Guide.” Sure enough, I scroll up to channel 733, and what is the featured programming on QVC? TANZANITE JEW. How dare you mock the Jewish community by broadcasting such offensive programming? How dare you attempt to minimize […]

it's choice - not chance - that determines your destiny

Pro-Ject # Three: Fauxplaints – Big Lots

“Hi, I typically enjoy shopping at your store, but today I had a very disturbing experience. As I attempted to purchase treats for my children’s Easter baskets, my credit card was apparently “denied.” I asked the cashier to try the card again, but she vehemently declined and went back to texting one of her teenage friends […]

Oh Quit Your Fauxplainin.

Pro-Ject # Three: Fauxplaints – Bed Bath & Beyond

“Hi. No, not hi. I’m pissed. I purchased a Wolfgang Puck Slow Cooker over the weekend and when I took it out of the box at home I discovered that someone had invaded the box and placed a raw roast chicken and various vegetables scattered about. I think those were cooked though. Anyways, this is […]

No, it's pronounced Publix. Not Pubix.

Pro-Ject # Three: Fauxplaints – Publix

“Hi, I recently purchased a bundle package of Bounty paper towel rolls from your store. Upon arriving home, I discovered that the package had already been opened and someone had stuffed chewed gum, candy wrappers, a used toothbrush, and some sort of delicatessen meat inside of the packaging. When I tried to return the item […]

Oh dayum gurl. You blazin.

Pro-Ject # Three: Fauxplaints – Target

“Hi – I wanted to write to report an obscene altercation that occurred at one of your stores. I was casually shopping with my friend Judie when I realized that 2 of your employees we’re whispering and cat calling us like we were hog-tied hot animals. We told them to stop and then it got […]

Shame. On you.

Pro-Ject # Three: Fauxplaints – West Elm

“Hi, I recently purchased the Loft Task Lamp from your website. Upon receiving and opening the box, I soon discovered a children’s toy lion stuffed animal with a note attached that read “The Yankees should have kept Kerry Wood.” I have no idea what this is in reference to or why this would be included […]

It's stakes. Not steaks.

Pro-Ject # Three: Fauxplaints – Omaha Steaks

“Hi, I recently ordered and received The Family Value Combo stakes from your website. Only problem is that the stakes came cooked and seasoned unlike the traditional raw, uncooked stakes I’m accustomed to expecting from your establishment. Don’t get me wrong. The stakes you sent tasted good, but usually I’m just a salt and pepper […]

Tinkle Fingers.

Pro-Ject # Three: Fauxplaints – Introduction

Ahhhh, customer service. No other crappier interaction known to man. I think we can all agree that customer service has gotten worse over time. Just recently, I witnessed a Lenny’s food deliveryman deliver my lunch (see the culprit below), go potty in my company’s restroom while someone else’s food was on the floor behind him, […]
