Some customers have reported problems with channel lineups. When moving from Xfinity to DirecTV, they expected to have all their favorite channels, but found that some channels were either missing or in a different, less convenient package. For example, a sports fan found that the main sports channels he used to get easily with Xfinity were now in a more expensive package with DirecTV, and he felt misled.
One horror story could be about billing issues. A customer switched from Xfinity to DirecTV and suddenly got overcharged. They were promised one price during the sign - up but ended up with a much higher bill. DirecTV claimed there were extra fees for services that were not clearly explained before.
Well, I heard of a case where a customer had a seamless service with Xfinity for years. But when they switched to DirecTV, they had trouble with their remote control. It just wouldn't work properly no matter what they did. They called customer service multiple times, but the representatives were not very helpful. They were given different instructions each time, none of which worked. In the end, they just gave up on using some of the advanced features of the DirecTV service because of the faulty remote.
Well, I heard a story where the matchmaker promised a lot but delivered very little. They said they had this perfect match for a person, but when they finally met, it turned out that the matchmaker had lied about some basic things like the person's educational background. This led to a very awkward and quickly ended relationship.
One horror story is when the Postmates driver got completely lost and took over an hour extra to deliver a simple meal. By the time it arrived, the food was cold and inedible. Another time, a customer's package was delivered to the wrong address, and it took days to sort out the mess. And there was also a case where the driver was rude to the customer when they asked about the delay.
One recruiter horror story is when a recruiter promised a high - paying job with great benefits. But when the candidate showed up for the interview, it was for a completely different, much lower - level position. The recruiter had misrepresented the job just to get the candidate in the door.
One horror story could be dealing with extremely rude customers. Some customers might make inappropriate comments or touch the workers without permission. For example, a Hooters worker once shared that a customer kept making lewd remarks about her uniform. It made her feel uncomfortable and violated at work.
A friend of mine hired a contractor to build a deck. The contractor used sub - standard materials that started to rot within a year. When my friend confronted him, the contractor disappeared and didn't answer any calls or emails. My friend had to hire another contractor to fix the mess and it cost him double the original amount.
One horror story is about infections. Some people got severe infections after lip piercing. The area around the piercing became red, swollen and oozed pus. It was extremely painful and took a long time to heal even with antibiotics.
My sister got a stomach bug right before an important job interview. She was so pale and sweaty. She tried to hold it together during the interview but had to run out in the middle to vomit. She lost the job opportunity because of it. She was in so much pain and discomfort during that time. It took her days to fully recover and get over the disappointment.
One horror story could be when a PlayStation was sent for repair due to a disc drive issue. After weeks of waiting, it came back with a completely different problem - the console wouldn't turn on at all. It seemed like they didn't even test it properly before sending it back.
One horror story could be getting a sample that was clearly spoiled. For example, a customer took a bite of a sample sandwich only to find the meat smelled rancid. Another might be when the sample giver was extremely pushy. They wouldn't take no for an answer and made customers feel uncomfortable. And there was a case where a sample had an ingredient that someone was allergic to but it wasn't clearly marked. A customer had a minor allergic reaction right there in the store.
