OMG i had the worst experience today.. not on RMs part but my FRIGGIN BANK! i hate BANK OF AMERICA! :censor:
so im a student in NJ @ Rutgers UNiv but my bank account is in IL (my home) so i always get a block on my credit and debit cards when i purchase large amounts anywhere in NJ or NY. but RM's sample sales always get charged in some place like florida or whatever which makes it even more complicated. so my bank always thinks my card is being used fraudulently! I KNEW this would happen bc it happend the last two SS i went to (there was even a RM employee who remembered me from last spring and this same scenario happening!!)
so i proceeded to call my bank like ahead of time before the guy even rang me up so i could tell them i was about to make a huge purchase.. i got disconnected. so then i was like ok whatever, ill try n split my purchases between two cards to try n alleviate this prob. DECLINED of course! then i waited for over 30 mins on the phone like sitting around outside and by the register for a human being to answer my call and let my card swipe! LITERALLY it took 3 seconds for it to be swiped and approved. i spent 30 mins of my life annoyed wanting to take my bags home and it took about .3 NANO SECONDS for the lady to approve me over the phone!!! I could use cash but the thing is.. its not practical to carry $800 around! yes, i spent $800.. there goes my money for books next semester.
i hated the whole situation bc i was so irritated and the poor boy at the register probably thought i was cynical bc i was SO frazzled.. but im so sick of doing this.. i need to switch banks ASAP! SORRY, I'm done..
Do any of RMs employees go on TPF? i hope one of them reads this and knows who i am.. bc at least 2 ppl were like "hey youre still here?"
anways, i really didnt get anything crazy.. honestly my collection is already huge so i got some more practical items or least thats what i told myself?! Anyone who as seen my last hauls at past seasons SS's know i usually go crazy! hahaaa
