Problem: "50% off... Discount Taken at Register" When you see that, what do you think? I think, "this is the price, I'll take it to the register and it will be 50% off" You would be wrong about that if you were at this store. I asked the cashier and she says "Oh, I don't know. We don't normally do that" "I can get the sign for you." -hesitant- "Oh, okay." I get the sign and show it to her. Cashier: "Hmmm, that's interesting. Let me call someone." She calls up this other woman and she says, "No... it's priced as marked." "So why does it say 'discount taken at register?' What does that mean?" "Well we don't take additional off. These aren't outdoor pillows anyway..." WHAT THE F*CK?! Do I have DUMBSH*T stamped on my forehead? Just because the workers are stupid doesn't mean I am for shopping there. This was truly a disappointing experience because of the magnitude of how much I love Cost Plus. I seriously don't know where the disconnect was and I'm wondering if we were being singled out. That pillow was definitely an outdoor pillow and that sign definitely said Discount Taken @Register. I've shopped enough clearance sales to know what that means. I'm still very baffled by this experience. And as much as I want to say I'll never shop here again, I really can't resist. I love this place but I hate the employees.... Morons.

Problem: I came to the House of Blues for the first time to watch AFI/Saosin many years ago. However, since Yelp didn't exist or was big then. Also, I never had experiences in other venues, so I couldn't really judge. One thing I like about this place that the atmosphere isn't cramped or disgusting looking. Maybe it was also because being emo and scene wasn't that big during my high school years, but the venue wasn't full of high school teens who think the world revolves around them. I also like that there's a big enough back area to chill in unlike some smaller venues where you're just packed in one floor. All in all, I think House of Blues is one of the better venues out there.

Problem: Bait and Switch ads.....beware. $19 for balance and rotation? Think again. No where in the ad does it say this is for only TWO tires. I paid additionally like an idiot, and I watched these guys do their "job". Moe Larry and Curly could have done better. They spun each wheel, added the weights, and failed to check that the machine zeroed out afterwards. When I insisted I wanted my tires taken off the car and checked because of this idiotic "shortcut" due to laziness, three out of the four tires were more out of balance than before I took it in. I wouldn't trust these guys to wash my dog, no less work on one of my cars. A RIPOFF, CLIP JOINT---BEWARE. Half-assed work and double the price----WHAT A DEAL!!!!!! NEVER AGAIN, NOT EVEN FOR FREE.

Problem: Let me just begin by saying I travel frequently and rent cars on a regular basis. With that being said, I will NEVER rent from this company again. Not only does it require a second shuttle bus to get you to their facilities but once I got there, it took over an hour for me to get my car and drive off of their lot. All total I stood (or sat) in three lines. 1 - the initial line where the paperwork was filled out for my existing reservation (the desk was painfully understaffed for this process. Come on people, these were all people who made reservations. The volume should not have been a surprise!!), 2 - the outside line to then be assigned a car and 3 - (and possibly most frustratingly) the line to actually drive the car off of the lot!!! Every car was inspected by the booth attendant with a full walk around visual inspection before the car could drive off the lot. NO OTHER car rental agency does this. It was PAINFULLY slow. There were approximately 10 cars lined up during this final phase. I've never seen such an amazingly inefficient rental agency. To add insult to injury, the return process took nearly as long. When I spoke to the employees about it, their responses were along the lines of, "we know. Talk to corporate". This rental agency has LOTS to learn from the other rental companies. In the meantime, they've lost my business for good.
