Dodo Bird tale 2

 

Today we continue part 2 of the tale of the Dodo Bird that works at Amazon, I left you waiting to know what I was waving and clacking, that should not rattle in the box and was NOT a bag of Tapioca flour

Since you may have lost sleep last night waiting to discover what the item is that was not a bag of flour, I will show you this before the Tale Continues.

Notice they are 17 inches long, and they were in a 24 x 12 box, which made for a nice rattle.

  I raced to the computer, pulled up my Amazon orders, clicked on return the Tapioca flour that was not flour and Let the Real Fun Begin!

 Amazon Returns are Simple! Not this time.

Clicked on Tapioca, !! THIS ITEM IS NOT ELIGBLE FOR RETURN. (its food, I knew this)

I have a pick list; I pick 138 Name Brands and follow instructions to get this message.

THIS ITEM IS NOT ELIGBLE FOR RETURN. (they have my 16 dollars)

I get an immediate email and it states all of the above and also says.

This item not fulfilled by 138 Name Brands, fulfilled by Amazon, contact Amazon.

OY VEY... this is so funny I am not even angry.

I notice a small print that says, if not satisfied with this answer, click here. click

a button comes up. If you need help click, CALL ME NOW

I did click and the phone rang so fast I KNEW it was automated.

SAME THING on the automated, NOT eligible for return.

Auto voice says, did this answer your question, NO

Your answer is no, please state in a few words your issue.

I DID. finally, IT said, please hold for next available call.

A Real Man Answers! ditto above.

I say here is the thing, you have my 16.00. I want it back or a bag of flour delivered.

Mam, please hold for 2 minutes, be right back.

Hello, Mam? it will be another couple of minutes, please continue to hold.

Hello, thanks for holding, my supervisor says I can put a credit on your account as a gift card. will that be, ok? Yes, that is fine. How do I return the BBQ tongs?

Mam you may keep the tongs, and if they are not to your liking, just TOSS THEM!

Give me 2 seconds to complete this for you. Done! your gift card is now on your account.

I go down the hall waving the tongs at Bob, telling him all this and he says.

WAIT! YOU JUST GOT A FREE GRABBER TO TAKE TO WALMART TO REACH THE THINGS YOU CAN'T REACH.

I am waving it and saying YAY its perfect, running around the kitchen grabbing things from the top shelves and Bob says. 

THERE IS ONE THING, THEY MIGHT ARREST YOU IN WALMART THINKING YOU STOLE IT.

Now what do I do? I did get the 16-dollar credit.  At least I am not a Dodo bird, and neither was the man on the phone.

PS.... I did take it to WM this past Saturday and the cashier said its fine but go ask Customer Service. I went to Linda who has been working in the store since it opened, and she is MGR of Customer Service.

She said you are fine, go for it. I feel your pain. She is 6 inches shorter than I am.

As I waved goodbye I said if I have to go to court, you will be my witness, right?

 

DoDo Bird TALE

Many times, in my life I have said "dumb as a DoDo bird, or said he/she is a Real DoDo... They are supposedly extinct. But there is one still alive and working at Amazon.

For some reason, the poor, dearly departed Dodo birds were thought to be Stupid and the word has become the symbol for dumb or stupid. 

Quickly I booted up the desktop and, Just because I could, I asked Microsoft Designer, new name for s Bing Image Creator, for a Dodo bird in a Florida kitchen... Remember, this was just because I could. Not bad, except half the kitchen wall is missing. 

My Amazon packages were delivered this week, placed on the front porch and I raced outside to bring them in. I had ordered three things, and one was 4 lbs of Tapioca Flour, which is hard to find in the stores. I opened the last box expecting a bag of flour and saying out loud, how can flour rattle in the box. I pulled it out and waved it around and Bob said, what is that? I said I have no idea; it doesn't look anything like a bag of flour. I was waving it around and clacking it while saying, wow, some dodo bird at Amazon put the wrong thing in the box. TOO BE CONINUED
