Bait & Switch, offer something as a come on, then switch the deal to a more expensive or costly thing. Example; went to Burley, to a complex to set up the next Wolf’s Den, only to find that the one quoted was not the $210.00 model, but in reality , is $280.00. Okay fine, but then to find out that the place was already spoken for, by a PG mom with two other diaper wearers so that was that. Of course, the resident manager was all apologetic, said she would ring my phone, if something else came up, but okay. Bait and switch. Thankfully not everyone is like that. Shop, $250.00 a month, new Wolf’s Den elsewhere $180.00 all utilities paid in both, and guess what? A refrigerator. Something that according to Buhl City regs, rentals can’t be rented with a refrigerator. Something to do with public health. Really? What ? If someone shits in it fine, but public health? More like too many landlords got together and decided that they were too cheap to buy a refrigerator. Amazing. Okay then, not just these folks but, there are the misleading TV ads. Case-n-point. Cable One has a promo going, saying, that Satellite TV outfits like Dish, and DirecTV are the leading cause for complaints to the BBB for not honoring promises or getting the deals promised on their ads. Fact is Satellite TV outfits provide better channels, more channels including ours , (Confederate Star TV Network) but also RFDTV and RTV(Retro TV Network). Here’s the case of Cable-One’s bait & switch. They offer business phone service. Introductory price of $75.00 or $25.00 a smack, for phone, cable TV (expanded basic) and internet. For one year then they jack up the price the next year and it will scare you shitless. Long B4 they offered business packages to the open market, they offered it to us at our studio in Gooding. For $350.00 pricey but okay, 20 meg speed they said, bullsbreath. So a month after go to pay the bill, installation they promised free, we got charged for, total bill? $950.00 needless to say I told them where to go. And Cable-One sezz they don’t bait & switch, horse stuff. Now I will say that us in and of Hazzard don’t occasionally do a bit of shuck & jive, but to outright fraudulently claim, they offer one thing but jack up the price? It’s easier to just tell folks the real price and do it that way. Saw an ad on Progressive Insurance, where this gal goes in for a pair of heels, some guy who also does the Keith Stone gig, for KeyStone Beer, says to the clerk, do you show what other stores charge for those heels? Which got to me a thinking. Put the price for a toew that others charge, on a placard on my trucks, then put my price for a toew, which is $35.00 Mini Cassia area, or for out of the immediate mini Cassia area its $35.00 plus $2.00 a mile loaded. Plus I never charge for extras, like dollies or night calls. But I let the customer pick , no bait & switch. Don’t you wish everybody did that? It’s the difference between dealing with a true Confederate and a Yankee.
More L8R, the Dukes are on.
