As many of our customers now know, our retail location closed quite suddenly this week.
I LOVE Squidoo!
I think I'm addicted! I just cannot stop creating lenses. And who would want to?? I have lenses about my cats, my eBay store, a lens about one of my favorite online time wasters, a tribute lens I made when my favorite author Robert Jordan died... The idea behind Squidoo is "everyone is an expert on something". What are you an expert on? <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/lens... src="http://images.squidu.com/bu... alt="Check out my lens" style="border: 0" /></a>
On Sat 8/25 I went to EZ Lube on White Ln to have my oil changed. They did a pretty good job, fast. No complaints there.
I paid with my credit card. I watched the employee run the card through the CC machine, then she started entering something into the computer. I looked at the screen and realized she had typed in my CC #! I asked why she was doing that. She answered, "It's our policy". I told her I do not wish for them to have my CC # on file. Another employee began to argue, stating that they cannot access the number, that it is simply "sent to corporate". I responded that their intent for it doesn't matter to me, they do not need my CC #! After a bit more back and forth in which I loudly question the legality of such a practice, they do replace the # with x's. I could not believe it! As I drove away, I wondered how many CC #s they must harvest from their customers every day. People NEED to know that a business as innocuous as an oil change station may be helping themselves to a bit more information than you intend for them to...
