You wanna rant?

YES

So my computer's charger was on the way out. Combination of the charger itself breaking and the port for it losing grip.

Okay, fine. It's got a USB-C. I can charge with that. Internet says my laptop model supports USB-C charging.

Bought a USB-C charger.

Plugged it in.

Didn't work. Off-brand, the on-brand one was $15 more expensive, the gamble didn't pay off.

Low on money, but have enough to order another (not USB-C) charger. So I figure "fine, I'll return it, get my $40something dollars back, that way it's still like I only bought one charger, even if it falls out."

Was told by Amazon that they'd charge it to my debit card. The one they literally have on file.

Returned the USB-C charger.

"Your refund is being processed! It will take between 3-5 business days."

"Refund issued! $43.09 issued on Jun 30, 2023"

Saturday. Sunday. Monday comes around, no money. That's fine, it's only been one business day, I usually get my rent money on the 6th.

Tuesday's a holiday.

Wednesday, Thursday. Okay, we've hit 3 business days. I'll get it soon, right?

Friday, nothing. It's now the 7th.

"Check the status of my refund."

Chatbot. Prompt list. I can deal with that. "I haven't gotten my refund yet."

"Please wait 3-5 business days for your refund after your return is processed." Only option is "Okay, thanks!" Option closes window.

I do not want to thank Amazon. I want an option for "this was not helpful, let me talk to a human." There are no humans on the Amazon website.

Saturday, Sunday.

Hi! It's now Monday. It has been 11 days since I returned my item. I message my bank; "hey, is my return on hold? If so, can you tell me when it'll be released? Thanks."

Two answers. Thankfully from humans.

"We don't hold returns/refunds, sorry. Check with Amazon?"

"Amazon refunds things through gift cards, we don't have it."

What.jpg

Rush to Amazon website.

"Return received on: Jul 8, 2023"

Scour the website for half an hour because NOTHING except "buy now" is intuitive.

Hey??? I did not agree to this??? Give me back my money???

There is apparently a very convoluted way to get your money back from Amazon. From what I understand, you transfer a gift card to Amazon Pay, then verify yourself through Amazon Pay, then transfer it from there to a bank.

The online articles say to do it through the app.

I download the app. I follow the instructions.

The dropdown option mentioned does not exist.

Back to square one. I do more research on desktop.

Problem 1. There is no button for transferring funds to Amazon Pay from Amazon. I have searched. The site is as bare-bones minimalist as it gets.

Problem 2. "Can I withdraw from my Amazon Pay?" "Yes! Click this link to learn more." The link leads to a FAQ page instead of an actual help article. The word "withdraw" is nowhere in the entire wall of text. I have to comb through it manually. There is no withdrawal help.

Problem 3. Verifying yourself enough to transfer to a bank account involves pictures of cards I do not have, tying a selfie to my account, and having a video chat with a live agent.

I would rather eat cement.

$43.09 gift card balance.

"Would you like a week-long free trial of Prime?"

Closes laptop. Forcefully.

Valentine's Day Special - 2023

In which Amazon's search has only a ballpark idea of what V. Day is.

This first image is this account's standard fare. Those candies are pink and white, or else I'm about to discover some form of colorblindness very publicly. Everything after this is a valentine's day special, and is a little more wordy and pedantic than usual, so... reader beware.

This post is about a near-meaningless observation about everyone's favorite dystopian mega-retailer. There's nothing of particular value here, and if you don't care, just ignore everything below.

You were warned.

So in anticipation of the holiday, I typed the word "valentines" into amazon's search bar - expecting to find some holiday/seasonal stuff.

Things that pop up on the store for holiday seasons tend to be pretty broken, mislabeled, etc. due to what I can only assume is some combo of time crunch and algorithm-chasing. Typing in "christmas", for example, produced a wall of unrelated listings that had "santa", or "gift", or something in retailers attempt to, I assume, get their bedsheets or whatever onto the sales pages.

For valentines day, I was expecting hearts, candy boxes, cards, etc. to be similarly mislabeled and mangled. The sort of thing you see on a shelf in a corner store around valentines' day. But wrong.

But, almost immediately, I ran into a strange thing - everything that was popping up was not only listed correctly, but had very little to do with valentine's day. Normally, it takes a few pages of scrolling through sales pages before the UI starts folding in on itself, so things being correct out the gate is expected, but... look at stuff that showed up on the first page or two:

Candy checks out, but the right-hand listing... that's just pink. Not typically an expression of love, but it could work as a gift, maybe?

So again, a typical sort of gift, and a thing that's just pink. Still a gift that you could give, but like the dog toy it's not exactly a slam dunk, here - especially given that this is top of the search results.

Then Peppa Pig. This one's a plushie, and therefore makes some more sense than the last two, but... I give it a confused "hmm" nonetheless.

One for the cat people to balance out the dog toy earlier. And another thing that's (sort of) pink. Sure.

I don't feel a need to repeat my prior points for this one.

And then, heart stickers and some... random household stuff. Amazon basics stuff, even.

So all of these things are absolute things that you could give as a gift or something. Some more traditional than others, but... whatever. That's not a problem.

But consider, for comparison, these front page results for "labor day".

Widely varied in tone, sure - but everything says labor day in the title?

So I think, okay. Sure. Maybe it just wasn't a specific enough search. Valentine's Day turns up everything I said I would've expected, so I went to double check on valentines day proper and-

It's... all valentines stuff now. Which begs the question - when I searched a month ago...

Why did I get a frying pan?

Anyway, that's a little strange, but not strange enough to have warranted this mini-essay, probably. Happy Valentine's Day!

N.Y.C: PTA President Accused Of Stealing $40K From Elementary School, Used It For Vet Bills, Amazon Purchases And Uber Eats

This is one of the things that will happen when you put a democrat in charge of something.

The PTA president at an elementary school in Queens, New York has allegedly stolen at least $40,000 intended for kid’s programs and used it for vet bills, Amazon purchases and Uber Eats. 

According to the New York Post, on September 27th, Athena Gonzales resigned following accusations by other PTA members that she was stealing, the interim president announced at a meeting on October 7th.

The PTA members were first told during an emergency meeting after the group’s secretary discovered the missing money amid fraudulent bank activity.

A copy of a $10,000 check made out to cash was placed on the table, but no one admitted to writing it, according to sources. 

The PTA announced at its October meeting that another check had been allegedly written out to Gonzalez.

Sources stated that members worked together to follow the paper trail and allegedly discovered Gonzalez spent the majority of the money over the summer, charging it to the PTA credit card.

PTA members traced the charges back to Gonzalez’ vet, and said she also has been posting on social media about recent vacations and a new car.

They reported their findings to the principal of the Astoria school and the New York Police Department.

In June, the PTA’s balance was $64,817. According to the treasurer’s report presented at the most recent meeting, it had dropped to $12,564 in September.

Gonzalez was elected PTA president in June 2023.

According to an NYPD spokesperson, the PTA reported that unauthorized transactions were made on the group’s business account between December 11th, 2023 and September 23rd, this year. 

“We stand by our current PTA members and understand this horrible situation was the actions of one person,” PS 166 Principal Jessica Geller told attendees at the October meeting, according to the minutes.

Claudia Henriquez, the PTA’s acting treasurer, also resigned on Thursday. The PTA announced on Facebook that special elections would be held on November 4th.

In 2023, the parent group for the dual-language, gifted and talented school reported over $92,000 in revenue.

The PTA’s bank accounts are now frozen, and upcoming events for children have been canceled.

No arrests have been made, and the investigation is still ongoing.

That was a fun little journey! 🫠

See that James Lee Burke is not only still around (at 87 now), but happened to release another Robicheaux book this year. Yes, I would like to read that.

Please let me obtain an electronic edition of this book legitimately so that the author gets at least a penny or two, international publishing industry (and banking industry both)?! I do have some money right here that I am semi-eager to offer in exchange.

...Please?????

Yeah, apparently the e-book is just not available in this country at all. You're in more luck if you want a hardback or trade paperback at a significantly higher price than in the UK never mind US. But, electronic publishing rights for probably all the Nordic countries are a different matter at this point in time.

Oh hell, there's always Amazon. I have been avoiding buying anything from there, because Amazon. But, I do still have the Amazon UK account which will let me buy e-books through it.

£12.99 you say? Can do. They're wanting the equivalent of £20 for a trade paperback here.

...But how? My UK-based accounts are sitting at like £5 balance with no way for me to transfer more over. My shitty-ass limited US-connected foreign devil debit card here doesn't work on Amazon, period.

Wait, a gift card in GBP from a third-party site? That would be one workaround. I've had to use it in local currency here to get around the debit card issue.

Oh shit, problems trying to check out and buy one through a known-good site using the shitty debit card.

OK then. I've been hoarding that back just in case, but I DO have a small stash of £££ sitting in my UK PayPal account. (It is an even bigger puzzle how to get more funds into there these days, and i just can't connect my current crippled account to PayPal whatsoever. You have to be able to log into the bank to do that here. But, I managed to get like £100 worth of old Kiva balance paid into it.)

My impulsive ass can buy a gift card at a significantly better price using that PayPal account, straightforwardly in pounds.

So yeah, that's the convoluted workaround I settled on, to deal with the publishing and financial industries being the way they are.

I just wanted a book. And too many things have been like that the past few years.

I get so tired sometimes. But, the assorted bullshit has helped me save an awful lot on discretionary spending! 🙄

Going to have to wait a while to dig into it, with the headache I've got atm. But, I do indeed have my book. Counting that as a win.
