Free TV, online, not. I saw through a search for giggles of the club. The search led me to some goofy website that sedd free TV online, just download our toolbar. So I did, for about 10 minutes. After I filtered through the offerings and got to SOA, sedd it costs $3.00 per episode. Are they stupid? Who the hell would download the thing, when one can go to Wal-Mart, buy the DVD and it be free anytime I want it.
I say that there ought to be some kind of policing of the web, to make sure that sites offer what they say they offer or change the damn title and admit, the damn thing costs money.
Several years ago, and it took some doing, by us at SAMCRO MC, but there was supposedly a site that said they offered free credit reports. There was no mention that to get the free credit report you had to buy into their credit monitoring service. However the majority of SAMCRO MC , wrote the Federal Trade Commission, amongst others and now even on their TV ads they say free credit report with enrollment in Credit Advantage. But we made em come to point and task.
But why lie to begin with?
If something costs money, say it costs money, better that than have someone go to the trouble of installing a computer program to watch free TV when it ain’t free TV. Or any other offer similar.
I fully understand that all of us need to earn a dollar I understand it, but maybe the one reason, that HCC/Dixie Toewing for so many years has weathered economic storms and all, is we have no need for disclaimers. We publically publish our toewing rates and we stick to them. When we say we offer something at the shop, that’s damn well what’s offered. If we say we are going to do, or have done something, ya’ll can bet your next tune up that, is exactly the real offer. Not some bullshit thing, just to get you in the door.
Just like Cable-One of Idaho. They say they offer 50 mg, internet. Bullshit, it never has been 50 mg speed. If it hits 30 mgz and that is in the wee hours of the morning when hardly anyone is on line. Cable-One says they offer things at a certain price, bullsbreath. They might say they offer something at $25.00 or $75.00 per service in a bundle package, but if your like me, ya’ll get stuck with a bill for $200.00 , talk about no bait and switch. More like Smoke & Mirrors. But what do you do? If ya’ll want cable and a bit more bandwidth than CenturyLink, DSL, you have to subscribe to Cable-One, but couldn’t Cable One say exactly what it costs?
Guess few have our ethics, but then that’s why we have been in business since 1978, huh?
Until L8R
