Annoying Customer Insists He is Always Right

BOSTON, MA -- Annoying customer Brad Layton held up a line at the Tremont St. Target for nearly twenty minutes Sunday afternoon after finding what he believed to be an error on his receipt.

"This dish soap was marked for $2.97, but you charged me $3.97 for it," Layton said to cashier Gabriela Sanchez, not noticing that she had already scanned several items for the next customer. "He took his bags and then just stood there staring at the receipt for a minute or two," Sanchez said, "I hate it when they do that. Its always the obnoxious ones."

When Sanchez did not immediately respond, Layton grew irritated and raised his voice. "Excuse me miss, you ripped me off by a dollar," he snapped. "He just started getting angry really fast. I didn't look up at him for like one second and all of sudden he's yelling at me," Sanchez reported. "It was really awkward. Everyone was looking over at me."

After a call for a price check found that the price on the receipt was correct, Layton refused to leave, and demanded to see a manager. "Can't you guys just own up to it and give me my dollar back? Don't you know I'm the customer here? I'm always right!"

At this point, Brian Cabot, the next customer in line, rolled his eyes and began fidgeting impatiently. "It was fine at first. You know, if there is a real mistake, then thats fine, they can fix it, but he started getting mad and shouting. When he said "I'm always right," that was the end of it for me. That just doesn't make any sense." Store manager Joy Donaldson confirmed Cabot's statement. "In my experience, customers are very rarely right. This was a very unreasonable thing for him to claim."

Instead of apologizing and leaving the store after Donaldson confirmed the price check, Layton insisted on returning to the aisle to see the price himself. "Ok, somebody must have switched this!" he shouted, gesturing toward the price marking. "Don't you guys know the customer is always right? I'm the customer! I'm always right!" "Once he had said that for like the fifth time, I just gave up and called security." Donaldson stated. "What kind of person thinks he is always right? People just don't know how to act in this country anymore."

Happy Anniversary Naomi!

Happy Anniversary Naomi!!!!  Your husband loves you so much he has dedicated this blog to you for the entire day.

Thank you for being the best wife in the whole world!  The last six years have been wonderful.  Thank you for all of your love and support.  I love you so much and I am so happy to be able to call you my wife.  Thank you for everything you do.  You are a great mom and my best friend!  I love you more than you'll ever know!

To show you how much I love you I recorded the song I wrote for you while we were dating for the whole world to see!

Fish Tank Without Any Fish In It
I told you I'd write you a love song
So that's what I'm doing right now
But I don't know what to say... except
I love you more, than you'll ever know

When you're not near me
When you're not right by my side
I feel lost, I feel scared
I feel like...

A fish tank without any fish in it
A fish tank without any fish in it
What's the point of that?
It doesn't make any since

PetAirways

Howtomakeadollar featured PetAirways yesterday on our blog.  We have done further research and determined this to be a "real" business.  We support giving our readers an opportunity to not read every once in a while.  So today we are featuring two videos about this "cutting edge" business.

Its all about the "pawsengers"???



If its on Fox News it has to be real!




The moral of this story is to take advantage things people care the most about and exploit them so they pay you lots of money!  

Flying Pets and the Airlines that Love Them

Every now and then Howtomakeadollar likes to link to real businesses that make money by coming up with unusual services. Usually we do this to inspire you and help get you into an entrepreneurial spirit, but today we are doing something a little different. Today we are discussing a company called Pet Airways. The website is http://www.petairways.com/

I am only about 70% certain that this is a real company. I have to admit up front that this could be some kind of hoax. I really don't know if its a real thing or not. However, the website is just realistic enough that I lean toward it being real. I'm skeptical, but we live in a crazy world, and I think it is for real. There are other sites that confirm the existence of Pet Airways, and these sites do not seem to be joking.

There really isn't much that can be said about Pet Airways. Its an airline that is exclusively dedicated to flying people's pets around the country. You stick your pet in a carrier, drop it off at the Pet Airways terminal, and they fly it to whatever destination you have booked for it. You aren't allowed to fly with your pet. It is for pets only.

Now this is all well and good. I suppose if you have enough money and you have a pet that you love dearly, and you happen to be going on vacation in one of the few cities that Pet Airways services, then maybe you would consider putting your pet on the airplane. Of course, regular airlines also provide this service, but maybe you want your pet to have the added benefit of flying first class, and the other airlines just don't offer that for you. Seriously. Pet Airways claims that your pet will "have a first-class travel experience."

Is a first class travel experience really necessary for your pet? Thats your decision to make. Maybe you really want your beloved Shih Tzu to have the benefit of riding with other people's pets in first class, where he can party with a cage full of canaries and some rabbits. Maybe after a few designer chew toys he will get confident and hit it off with an attractive Pomeranian female. That is your decision. People may laugh at you, but whatever. As a consumer you are entitled to buy whatever services you want, and no one will stop you.

Putting accidental mile high designer breeds aside, Howtomakeadollar is more interested in the business end of things. Namely, we are interested in profitability. It is a well known fact that the airline industry is constantly going bankrupt and is subsidized heavily by the government just to remain in operation. If Pet Airways is profitable, and I have serious doubts that it is, then surely it opens up a whole new world of entrepreneurial possibilities. If a pet airline can be profitable while human airlines go bankrupt, then surely other ridiculous ideas can be profitable too. This is where you come in.

1. Think up something silly that you can't imagine anyone ever buying, such as glow in the dark lightbulbs.
2. Find a way to apply your ridiculous idea to an industry that is already failing.
3. Good. now you've done something similar to Pet Airways. Lets hope it works for you.

Make money with Swag Bucks!

Howtomakeadollar supports pyramid schemes!  We think they are a fabulous idea.  Scam a log of people into doing the same thing you do, so you can make money off of them = Great Idea!

The new pyramid scheme we have become involved in is SWAG BUCKS!

Swag bucks pays you to surf the internet using their website as a portal for your web searching.  Howtomakeadollar was involved in the original "pay to surf" pyramid scheme AllAdvantage.  Unfortunately it died out during the dotcom bubble burst.

Make money by making products that are safe for consumers

A good way to beat your competitors in any industry is to claim that their products are dangerous. This will force them to run an expensive recall of their products, and will damage their reputation with consumers. This gives you an easy opportunity to grow while they shrink. All you need to do is find the numbers on how many people were injured by your competitor's product, then start rumors on the Internet about it. The Internet, which last I checked, exists primarily for the purpose of spreading rumors, is a very good place to start looking for this kind of info.

Howtomakeadollar has done this step for you, and our info is legit (Really). It comes from a wonderful table created by the U.S. Census Bureau called "Injuries Associated With Selected Consumer Products." I promise this is a real thing. You can go there yourself if you don't believe me. In fact, I encourage you to go there, because there is something exhilarating about seeing all the people who have been to the hospital because of accidents involving such items as jars, drinking glasses, or shoes. You will probably waste a lot of time looking at it. I have warned you.

Here are a few samples:
99,010 - Number of people who had to go to the hospital because of injuries related to tableware and flatware (does not include knives!!)
304,556 - Number of people who were injured by doors
205,324 - Number of people injured by household containers and packaging
78,773 - People injured by lawnmowers
Keep in mind these numbers aren't just people who were injured a little bit. They are the number of people who were injured badly enough that they went to the hospital and voluntarily informed their doctor about the nature of their accident.

But its not as though the entire population of Green Bay Wisconsin limped into the hospital with forks and spoons sticking out of various body parts because of accidents. No. these were not a accidents. These events occurred because the fork industry knowingly allowed dangerous forks to pass off their assembly lines and into the hands of innocent and trusting consumers. If Big Tableware and Glassware is producing a product that hospitalizes 6,500 more people per year than lawnmowers, handsaws, and chainsaws combined, then you should have no problem selling your "safe" fork and spoon set.

Lastly, for your viewing pleasure, I present just one of the results that comes back if you run an image search for "Accidents involving forks"
