Target REDcard

I’ve always liked Target to shop. I like their products and like their business model.
===================

Dear REDcard holder,

Thank you for your patience with Target as we work through the breach of certain credit and debit card information at U.S. Target stores between Nov. 27 and Dec. 15, 2013. Due to high volumes to our call centers, we want to make sure that you have some key information.

We want you to know a few important things:

You do not need to call us unless you found charges on your account that you didn’t make.
You will not be held liable for any fraudulent charges.
We have made changes to our REDcard fraud detection and authorization procedures to further protect you.
We are offering free credit monitoring for one year to every single person who was impacted by this crime. We will give you more information about that soon.

If you ask an opinion as in an interview for a magazine, already anticipating the answer and then promoting that answer to defame that interviewee just to promote your magazine’s agenda – wouldn’t that in itself pose and ethical statement? Wouldn’t that ethical statement be on the same controversy level of the moral statement of the interviewee? – Just something else to quack about.

Bride-To-Be Struggles to Get Wedding Refund after Fiancee Dies

ABC 6 On Your Side

I can definitely feel for Cassie Kelsey’s loss of her fiancee Adam Schneider but reading this article the contract was fully non-refundable with the company. I’m sure the company has a reason for doing this practice especially with booking events in the future. By definition, “the indefinite time yet to come”, is exactly why this company has a non-refundable contract because one cannot predict the future. Cassie Kelsey herself was aware of the uncertainty of the life span of her fiancee. Should the company have to absorb the loss for this? I think not. Plus the event company did offer a partial refund with the remainder to go on deposit. So I ask this, why doesn’t Cassie take the initiative to find someone else within her network to take over that event time slot instead of asking the company to do so? Marketing and generating business costs money, hence the reason why the event company specifically has a non-refundable contract that they require their customers to sign.

140-146 N ROYS AV – Alley Illegal Dumping

Leave a reply

12/17/13/8:15 PM/Caught a pickup truck dumping boxes into the 300 gallon receptacle behind the row housing, 140-146 N ROYS AV – Alley. I sternly asked what he was doing and he said throwing stuff away. I asked if he lived around here and he pointed “over there” but didn’t give an address. I asked then why is he using this particular trash receptacle. I opened the trash receptacle lid and saw he was dumping construction waste – boxes of heavy tile. I told him that he could not do that and needed to schedule bulk pickup to the property needing the disposal for these construction items. (I already knew that construction debris would not be scheduled but just needed the guy to understand that he can’t be dumping his construction debris in these trash receptacles.) I told him that dumping these heavy items will result in these trash receptacles not being emptied and then I would have to call about them. He seemed shocked that I approached him and eagerly agreed and took the boxed items back out and put them in his pickup truck and took off. Clearly he was a dumper. Situation resolved but clearly we need to relook at having these 300 gallon receptacles in our communities.
