Well, in my experience, they are. A lot of country clubs have old - fashioned hierarchies. For instance, long - time members may look down on new ones. And there can be problems like unfair treatment in things like tee - time bookings or access to special facilities. So, these kinds of horror stories do pop up quite often.
One horror story could be about a customer who got into a fight with a bouncer over a misunderstanding regarding the cover charge. The bouncer got overly aggressive and the customer ended up with some bruises. Another could be a dancer who had her belongings stolen while she was on stage. There was also a story where a club had a fire hazard and no proper evacuation plan, which could have been a disaster.
Perhaps a customer was lured in by the hair club's advertisement showing amazing hair transformations. But when they actually got the service, the hairpiece they received was of very poor quality. It was uncomfortable to wear, looked fake, and would easily get dislodged, causing great embarrassment to the customer in public.
Another common horror story could be about the difficulty in booking desired dates. Members might find that when they try to book during peak seasons, there are no available units despite being promised certain booking privileges. It seems that the system is overbooked or not well - managed in terms of inventory. Also, some have reported problems with the quality of the accommodations. They expected a certain standard based on the Marriott brand, but found that the rooms were not well - maintained, with things like broken furniture or malfunctioning appliances.
There was a story where in the City Club's basement, which was used for storage. Members who went down there to retrieve old files reported hearing strange scratching noises coming from the walls. They also felt a sudden drop in temperature, as if something was lurking in the darkness. Some even thought they saw shadowy shapes moving around the stacks of boxes.
Another story could be related to financial mismanagement at a country club. The club started taking on too many expensive renovation projects without proper planning. As a result, they had to increase membership fees drastically. This caught the members off - guard. Some members couldn't afford the new fees and were forced to give up their memberships. It also created a lot of tension between the members and the club's management.
One horror story could be about borrowers who were approved for loans they couldn't really afford. For example, some might have had their income misassessed. They ended up with high - interest loans and couldn't keep up with the payments, leading to damaged credit scores.
One horror story could be when a player was expecting a friendly trading session in Club Tortimer but instead encountered a player who kept stealing their items without permission. It was really frustrating as they had worked hard to collect those items.
Well, regarding Smile Direct Club horror stories in reviews. I've heard that a lot of customers had issues with the communication. They didn't get enough support when they had problems with their aligners. And there were a few who claimed that the treatment plan was not customized well for them. It seems like Smile Direct Club might not be as perfect as they claim in some aspects.
Well, some of the horror stories about Smile Direct Club include improper fitting of the aligners. I've heard cases where people had extreme pain and discomfort because the aligners just didn't fit their teeth right. Another issue was misdiagnosis. Some customers were told they could get great results with Smile Direct Club when in fact their dental problems were more complex and required in - person orthodontic treatment.
