Great Customer Service

Last summer when i went to the Erie County Fair, i picked up what has become one of my favorite t-shirts. It's bright yellow and says My City Smells Like Cheerios with the Born In Buffalo logo on the back.

This year while at the Erie County Fair, i got a black God Save The Queen City and (e:Uncutsaniflush) got a City Of Light in blue.

Sadly, (e:Uncutsaniflush)'s is coming apart at the collar. So i emailed them, asking if they would exchange it. Less than 2 hours later, they said they would send me a new one.

Thanks Born In Buffalo for having amazingly good customer service. Not often i can say that about any company.

So, (e:peeps), go buy a Born In Buffalo shirt. Support this local company.

I honestly don't even know what any of the TOS are....HA... Well except to explicit depictions of sex... Like animals doing it ok graphic shot of horse pulling out and going in not OK? HA..... On a more serious note they do make some great shirts...

Is this a positive customer feedback blog? Because those are strictly banned in the TOS, lol.

I'm shocked that they would do that.... (maybe they knew there where a few with problems but didn't know what ones... You know after the fact)... That Cherio's one often sells out from what I've heard they also have one of those in black... They do have a lot of good shirts I just have trouble keeping all the Buffalo places straight seems like there are about 8 of them now.... When I was a kid there was one and those shirts are now kinda Legendary Micheal Margouls (not sure on the spelling) and don't remember what the official name was. But everyone has seen them city hall with the top taking off, the one that looks like a pack of smokes but with wind instruments the ying yang with Buffalos.........

F@#k You, Kenmore Mercy

Ok, so, about a year ago, my former primary care doc wanted me to see a nutritionist. I didn't think i needed to, but she did.

My insurance would not cover it. However, they would cover 100% of the cost for "Diabetic Education Classes" (FYI, biggest waste of time unless you want to purchase diabetic products).

I chose Kenmore Mercy because they were close and the classes were good for my work schedule.

I went to 3 classes. I think i could have taught 2 of them.

Flash forward 10 months. I get a bill from Kenmore Mercy. They billed the wrong insurance company.

I called them. Did not return my call. After 3 hours today, i finally got a hold of the "outpatient billing" girl, Melissa's supervisor.

"Oh. We will forward to the correct insurance. Sorry."

WTf?

Stupid phone keypad. Lol.

I've only had bad experiences with Kenmore Mercy Hospital. One time I had 5 stitches pit into my finger by what I thought was the doctor, then the real doctor came in and said the stitches were done all wrong, so he took the all out at redid them. 10 stitches in 20 minutes when I only needed five. It hurt like hell the second time. The craziness part is that a few weeks later the bill came and they charged me for having stiches twice!! And they charged me for some kind of brain exam, which I certainly didn't have.

Where To Eat?

This weekend, some friends are coming upstate from Queens to bring their one and only son to UB for his freshman year. We offered up one of our spare rooms for them and they accepted. They want to take us out to eat as a thank you.

I am looking to (e:peeps) for recommend somewhere. Not exactly sure about their taste and i don't want to go somewhere too expensive. It will be Friday night so i want to be able to make a reservation (they may be used to waiting, but i don't want to have to).

Any suggestions of somewhere that will impress but isn't over the top expensive and offers a variety of foodie options?

Thanks, (e:Mike). I will check them out! Doesn't have to be vegetarian friendly (i do chicken and fish now)!

I like the Delaware a lot Its on Delaware near Sheridan. Not sure there are many vegetarian options there though and maybe not impressive. But good food.

Thanks for the suggestions. Only place i wouldn't consider would be Panos... i fucking hate that place (forgive the swearing, but i hate it that much).

Only 4 people, (e:Uncutsaniflush) and myself, our friends Karyn and her husband Roberto.

I thought of Bistro Europa. Love that place. I just thought they might not want to eat in a place that is cramped for space, like where they live, Queens.

Betty's is a great idea... i like it.

Anyone else have anything? I don't mind driving to the 'burbs if i have to.......

La Tee Dah?

paul - 08/23/11 16:06
How many people? I would suggest panos (cheaper but lots of options), seabar, or bistro Europa($20-30 per person).
