Trump's War on the Working Poor

This Trump led attack on the poor and immigrants, has always been a war on the poor. We have been led to believe that it is a war between races and ethnic groups. That is because it is easier to identify those people who are supposed to be our enemies. This disguises the true motives for the cruelty. Immigrants are typically hard-working, and they are still poor. Dumb people don't understand the contribution that they make. So, this war on the working poor continues. It's insanity based on stupidity. Now under RFK, Jr., vaccines will be withheld from poor people who can't afford them. This will not only kill off the poor, but it will also bring back largely controlled diseases. This is what you get when you vote for cruelty and dumb.

NOT Great Clips

The coupon says valid thru 6-19-2023. But my wife was told it was no good when paying for our son's haircut today. I don't like bait and switch. Great Clips customer service says it's okay because all salons are independently owned. So if you see these coupons, be advised they may not work.

Health Partners Legalized Theft

Health Partners and Health Partners Clinic is charging me for two clinic visits for a 20 minute preventative (supposed to be covered by insurance) appointment because the doctor talked to me about lowering blood pressure. How can they bill for two visits for a single appointment??? What other business can get away with this? Update: Just 6 hours into my publicizing this all over social media, Health Partners (after first calling to say the charge was legitimate) just called to tell me the charges had been recoded and removed from my account.

Rainbow... More Bait & Switch?

This is my second complaint to Rainbow Foods this month. I removed the blog entry for the first--after they made an effort to "make it right." I've received no reply from this latest email and will update if/when I do. Hi Joe, So do you really want to know what happened on my next trip to Rainbow? You should put me on the payroll as a consultant. Rainbow could take the lead if they could get their you-know-what together... First, I checked the ad as I always do. $4.99 for Spanish Clementines! I'm all over that. Only when I got to the store, it was 'Cuties' from California! Huh, I thought, more bait & switch??? I'm not sure if you know, but California Clementines are not nearly as good as the ones from Spain! Instantly I'm disappointed again! The service desk didn't know anything about it. She wanted to send me back to find a produce worker. She finally called someone back there who said "they sent us the wrong thing." So m...

Rainbow Foods Does Bait & Switch

Years ago I stopped shopping at Rainbow Foods because when I bought something on sale I didn't get the sale price because I didn't have a rewards card . My response was that I stopped shopping at Rainbow for almost ten years--until about a year ago. Yesterday, I went to the Rainbow in Maplewood, MN to buy some chicken legs that were advertised at 98 cents per lb. and found that I could not get them at that price without a rewards card. Nothing in the advertisement said I needed to use the rewards card to get the price, but the deal was switched when I got to the store. I don't want a rewards card and to each his own--but when the sale price is contingent on me signing up for a card then I will stop shopping there again.
