This x 100! Is it because I'm using Brave? Get this on my PC, Phone, Tablet, etc. Apparently 'Never ask again' means the same as 'in stock be at your house in 2 days' on Prime.

Try ordering something on prime when you're out of town and select the weekend for your prime delivery day. It'll be there next day every single time. They'll even send you an email crowing about how they got it to you early.

Speaking of backordered shit, we have one supplier that is just fucking retarded.
I'm not even gonna hide their name, because I doubt any of you know/use them, but they sell wood doors. Oregon Door. They continuously, over the past decade or so, and despite us bitching about it countless times, will process our order and give us a ship date, and only when it shows up do we find out that a door/doors is back ordered. If you check the status right up until it is shipped, there is zero indication of a backorder. They claim that only when they are loading the truck do they know if something is going to be missing, but even then they don't send any kind of notification to us about it. It typically gets here in a day or two at most, so we generally aren't checking that one fucking day in transit, and it just shows up missing shit. A lot of times the delivery is worthless to us if it isn't complete, because we aren't going to send installers a couple hours away without all the material because we didn't factor in multiple trips in our cost. Even if none of that matters, contractors absolutely LOVE when you tell them they aren't getting all of their shit right now, and oh yeah, we have no fucking clue when they might get it because Oregon Door has no idea either.
It used to be that they were cheaper than most other places, or closer (many take a good week to get here), but their prices and lead times have gone way up and we just started factoring in the extra delivery time, because at least everyone else ships complete, or tells you ahead of time that something is being held up. No fucking clue how you run a successful business with that kind of incompetence.

Calling around to mechanics to fix something on a 21 year old Saab 9-3 Arc model. Yeah yeah the company doesn't even exist as a car manufacturer anymore so parts are a little more expensive. Get a quote, show up, and the exact same work has like a 300 dollar subfee because it's an older car that most people don't know how to fix inside and out. Something I would absolutely not have blocked time off to pay. Call another shop, they get me a quote (roughly same price, oddly enough) so I ask them "are there any other fees/taxes etc on the scope of work I should know about? "Nope, we match the quote." Cool, head to the shop.
The guy looks at the car, tells me that the work will run another 400 dollars because the parts are hard to find. I let him know I can literally purchase them straight from like AutoZone for way less than he's charging. He agrees, and then mentions that the total quote doesn't include tax or any special subfees. And this is after I explicitly explain exactly what needs to be fixed over the phone.
I get that it's part of the game to ratchet up prices when someone shows up by finding new stuff that's 'broken,' but this was for exactly the scope of work I described on the phone. Like I'm not going to just agree to almost double the price of the quote just because I drove over. Scam artists.

Not sure when it became a thing. Used to be you carved a pumpkin, maybe hung up some fake spiderweb. Kids these days (millennials) are out there with 30 foot tall skeletons in their yards. Of course gen z is financing them buy now pay later along with their burritos so that's why you gotta start selling them in June so they have enough time to miss a few payments on them and ruin their credit

Want it delivered, fee, want the old one gone. fee. want a water line(no thanks I have one) well we cannot connect your water line you have to use ours. Wife 100% wants me to not touch it - with reason I'm on back surgery #7 so new fee. It's I'm just like give me a fucking number and stop nickel and diming me.

I love this new thing of appliance stores not installing nor not having a list of anyone to do the work. One appliance store doesn't stock anything. Everything has to be ordered. No stock, no install, what's the fucking point of being in business?
I looked at having some cabinets installed. Local cabinet maker. He didn't remove the old ones nor did he paint the new ones, nor did he know anyone who would do the top.
Carpet places not doing moving of furniture anymore.
I had some furniture delivered. They would not install the washer and dryer. Took 2 guys 45 minutes to put a bed frame together. I kicked them out, and not in a nice manner. Got a 75 inch tv for delivery and install. They leaned it on the front steps and left.
I went to a flooring store. Full of employees and only 1 other customer. 0 people got off their asses to see if I wanted to pay their fucking wages.
Real estate agents not returning calls. One of them returned a call...ONE YEAR after I placed it. I told her she was an actual crazy person.
Far too many people in this country have adopted a can't do attitude...then wonder why they don't have any money.
