Vicky "writing updates until I decide on what 1K will be!" L.'s Profile

I drive at least 80 miles a day commuting. I got sick and tired of hearing Carmen bitching on the radio on "THE OTHER" channel. Poked around and found 99.7... Love how they play a good variety of music. Only downside is that I'm stuck listening to the Ladies Room in the mornings. Occasionally they have crappy topics but it sure beats hearing prank calls and beeps early in the morning!

Love the mix of music!
The love trap is my guilty pleasure... where else are you going to hear psycho girlfriends insist that their boyfriends are cheating, cougars dumping 18 year olds, its like trashy Jerry Springer on the radio!

MMMMmmmm.... I heart Neto's! We swung by here today (Friday) to take advantage of their grilled sausages. We got the linguica and the calabrese and they were oh so yummy!! Maybe because it was cloudy out, the turnout wasn't insane. Paired with a bag of jalepeno chips and a jones soda, it was a superb lunch. Best yet, my friend treated me!

You pick the sausage you want from the grill, take it into the store and pick your sandwich fixings and your chips and voila! Instant lunch!

This location makes me want to scream with frustration! I had to wait over half an hour for my latest appointment.

Seriously. Why bother make appointments then!?

I go online at home, see that there's a lovely appointment in half an hour. Booked it and packed up the lovely MBP. Drove down and found parking, walked into the store 5 minutes before my appointment. The genius bar guy told me that I was 5th in line. UM. Excuse me. Highly doubt that considering the screen behind his head said "Mac Customers" 1. Random Person 2. Vicky L. I pointed out that I'm second on the list. Not 5th!!!!!!

Turns out that they interject a bunch of iPod and iPhone people in between. I ended up having to wait... and wait.... and wait... and in the 95 degree heat that I endured that whole day, I was in a foul mood.

Then I found out that my beloved MBP gets diagnosed with a heat sensor issue and a fan doesn't turn on to dissipate the heat. Gee thanks Apple. Not only have I spent a crap load of money on your products, you don't even have the galls to schedule your appointments better and I ended up with a defective product.

Just adding an "update" so that my original review which can be a little TMI is "hidden" except for a one liner... for those wanting to read details about the divacup, just hit the read more button on the original review. :)

How can a BBB store do so much advertisement and not carry standard King size sheets!?! I got a snooty customer service rep who wasn't in uniform walking around with a walky and I had to ask if she worked there. When asked about King size sheets, she rolled her eyes and told me to order online. Geez... if I didn't need them in say within 2 weeks I would order them online... Totally unhelpful and definitely not "beyond bedding and bath-ing items" Well actually that's unfair to say. They have everything tv informercial item under the sun... basically they should focus on bed and bath items and not stock random things like a flea market.

I have to confess. I love fried chicken. I really hope my personal trainer doesn't use yelp.... After seeing so many reviews and seeing 99 chicken on the front page of yelp, I HAD to go and check it out. So my best friend and I swung by for lunch the other day (since she's also another fried chicken addict) and got our fried chicken fix. We popped in a little after 12 and the pictures were VERY misleading... I thought it was wings and drummettes.... so we ordered a 10 piece plate and a 5 piece plate... The downside to going in at that time was the wait. The owner didn't speak much english and we had some issues communicating. In addition to that, he was cleaning and wiping down his deep fryer so it took another half an hour for the oil to warm up. We ordered 10 minutes after 12 and our chicken didn't come out until 1. When he brought out the chicken, I quickly ran up to cancel out the extra 5 piece order... since they were full on drumsticks and chicken wings! He thought I wanted to add ANOTHER 5 piece order. EEK!

All in all, the chicken was fantastic. Crisp, juicy, in its deep fried glory!

Minus one star for the long wait... and also the fact that he likes to take pictures of us to post on the wall whenever we go in. I think I'm in like 7 of those pictures already...

I'm surprised by all the lack of stars and bad experiences from other yelpers here. We've been frequently this location on a near 2-3 times a weekend basis for the last month. The staff have been helpful and approachable. The first time we were in there, Raider Steve who delayed his lunch break went through the entire store grabbing stuff that we needed. It made the entire process completely painless! He even went out of his way to go out to the front of the store when we needed a ladder and he remembered that there were some on sale out there.

Overall throughout our many visits now, the staff has been really helpful and walking us over to the various rows and helping us find items and make purchasing decisions. I think with Lowe's and so many unhappy customer complaints, they're finally getting their act together. Keep the good work up!!

Omigosh! I'd totally jump with glee but I shall refrain myself...
So we had a pretty smooth purchase with the Milpitas location. Unfortunately when it came down to the actual pricematch of the same comparable item I found online, Milpitas gave me the run around. They told me the foam was different, the springs were different, the online retailer didn't ship to my area, etc. Now I'd understand that if the mattresses were COMPARABLE but in this case, it was the same EXACT MODEL NUMBER AND NAME. Yes, the online retailer didn't have an option to ship to the Bay Area, but when I called them, they said they'd happily throw it onto a truck and get it hauled up here for 200 bucks. Considering we paid 1400 for the mattress and online was showing 799, I was really looking for my price match guarantee.

I ended up calling this location to get the exact spring/foam specs since I felt that Milpitas was giving me clear enough information. It was my lucky day... since Zach H. picked up the phone. Turns out he was the district manager and got everything squared away for me. Yay!!!!

We've run into some issues getting our refund check in the mail so I've been repeatedly calling. The gal who was unlucky enough to pick up my original call has been AWESOME in responding... Jessica's been emailing/following up with corporate to find our missing check and to get our check reissued. OMG... Superb customer service!!!!
