Get a postpaid cell phone plan. It’s 2011 for christsake.
Even if hours of operation is up on the doors or even the websites for christsake people just disregard it.
It can’t cost *that* much to make a 2-minute call.
open/close signs don’t seem to register either
this almost sounds like a bitch i could have made of the giant tiger store 2 weeks ago.if you have no computer, you are fucked to find out their hours. and no, directory assistance has no numbers listed for them. the only way to get the hours, is to go to the store and look at the sign on front door.
i brought this to the attention of the manager, and was told hours were listed on their web site, great if you have a computer, and know how to use it. some don’t and have only the bus to rely on for travel. can you imagine traveling 20 miles or so, then finding out store is closed, you would be pissed, right?
but do they get this thru their thick head, no fucking way, they say to ask a friend who has a computer to check on it.what an asshole reply that was.
anyway o.p., i know exactly what you mean, and feel. I HAVE BEEN THERE.
LS- the phone number is listed under Canada 411, so I’d think directory assistance would have it, no? Strange.
It could be long distance…
kinda like when I was to stay at a hotel in the valley.
They didn’t even have their check-in/check-out times posted.
WTF?!?!?!
If it’s a viable piece of info for your business… and you have a website (as you bloody-well should) then fucking post it.
wrong cannatel, it is disconnected, been there already, why do you think i went off on them.
lol….costs you money to call. Call them collect, if they are open they will answer. Doesn’t get any cheaper than that 🙂 Otherwise fuck that business and don’t shop there. Here’s to praying they go out of business.
nevermind POSTPAID? I thought money was an issue here 😀 Spoken like someone who doesn’t realize how much cheaper a prepaid plan is.
see here’s the story.. yes it was my bitch. My cell phone had died and my charger was at my friend’s house. And my friend wasn’t home. I was comparing prices on printshops. And NOT A SINGLE ONE had business hours on their website. I had a list of 20. I found the hours for two. TWO!
Today i got my charger back and spent almost an hour making and receiving calls. Bullcrap.
PG: Apparently neither do the names of businesses… “Do you sell bikes here?”
What does it being 2011 have to do with the hours of operation being on the website or not? Was 2010 the deadline for such issues?
