What's On Your Mind? Ashley Furniture, Sirius, Debt Relief Network, Bunn

“I just discovered that I have been charged for Sirius Satellite Radio service I tried to cancel and thought I had done so successfully over a year ago,” said Glenn, of Medina, Minn. “In speaking with Sirius personnel, three different individuals over the past 45 minutes they were unwilling to give me anything but a refund for the last quarterly charge. I had signed up for their five month promotion for $20.00 and then after using it for two or three days tried to cancel. They will acknowledge a phone call inquiring about my account status, but say they have no record of me cancelling.”
When ordering something online, or cancelling an order or reservation, the business should give you a confirmation number. That is the way you can track and verify the transaction. If the business does not give you a confirmation number, you probably haven't successfully cancelled your contract.

Coffee at the Happiest Place on Earth
01.01.70
So over the past few days I took an extended stay at the Happiest Place on Earth, which while not the greatest coffee experience in the world I am happy to say is not the worst. However, I do think the hotel I stayed at can rank up pretty high on the worst coffee on Earth department. First I want to mention a little about my hotel coffee and then about my pleastant surprise at Disneyland.
The hotel coffee easily ranks as one of the worst cups of coffee I've ever had. They served your stanard continental breakfest fare, which was a nice, however the coffee was horrible. I could see they used stanard bunn equipment, but the coffee was very weak and lacked any flavor and was almost undrinkable. I wish I could describe it for you other than the previous statement. I was rather surprised because it was Boyd's coffee, which is much like Starbucks or something of that ilk that is at least drinkable. The sad truth was the coffee maker in the room with a prepackaged packet to toss in the brewer was better, but still not great.
