Walmart Woes, Amazon Idiocy, and Disagreeable Tales
In this episode of Morning Coffee, I dive into the madness of Walmart’s pricing shenanigans and Amazon’s frustrating incompetence. Along the way, I share personal stories about standing my ground as a proudly disagreeable man. Get ready for laughs, rants, and some solid life lessons—all with a healthy dose of sarcasm.
Here’s the microwave version:
So, about my health—yep, still dealing with this medical stuff. I’ve got a tube up my nose, but don’t worry, it’s not as bad as it looks. It’s all part of this sleep apnea journey I’ve been on for two years.
Let’s talk Walmart for a second. They tried to pull a fast one with deodorant pricing, and it’s just… wow. $78 for a few sticks of deodorant? You’ve gotta be kidding me.
Did you know Walmart’s starting to act like Amazon now? Turns out they use third-party sellers sometimes, and that’s where all this nonsense with overpriced deodorant came from. Who knew?
I’m what you might call a disagreeable man when a company tries to shortchange me. If I’m paying for something, you better believe I’ll get what was promised. I’ve got stories, and they’re not pretty.
Speaking of bad customer service, there was this time Taco Bell gave me three tater tots for a dollar. Three! You know I wasn’t gonna let that slide, right?
Here’s a tip for you: always start with kindness when dealing with customer service. Tell them you appreciate them, and watch the magic happen. It costs you nothing to be kind, but the results? Amazing.
Oh, and guess what? I’m fighting Amazon again over book publishing. Yep, still dealing with their nonsense, but I’ll get through it. I always do.
Before I go, just a quick shoutout to all of you—thank you for hanging out with me, and don’t forget to visit wantedhero.com. We’ve got books, and trust me, they’re way better than overpriced deodorant!
