 Shame on You  5-09 Macy's Outrageous Credit Card Rates. Their credit rate is 23.99 % for new applications and a late rate of 26.99 if your late. If you you have a card and was never late your rate is now 19.49%. Scroll down to the middle of the document to see the rate in big numbers. https://www.macys.com/service/credit/applynow/creditapp.ognc ====================================================================== |
| 1-30-05 -- Salerno Duane Infiniti Of Denville -- We were looking for an Infinity QX56 truck ($50,000 +). We went to this dealership because it is closest to us, two miles from where we live. The salesman proceeded to play the usual and irritating dog & pony show. That is where the salesman tells you he doesn't know, or gives you all the wrong answers to your questions about what the vehicle is equipped with. For example, he said the right front seat did not fold down. (WRONG answer) He then insisted upon getting our telephone number, name, address, home telephone number, work telephone number, email, etc. (WRONG) Infiniti requires its sales people to take a test to show that they are well versed in what they are selling. (We guess he flunked). When we showed the salesman a business card with a price quote from the Lynne's Infinity dealership, he immediately developed a bad attitude. (WRONG) After explicitly telling the salesman that we would need a quote including 20,000 miles per year, he came back with a quote based on 12,000 miles a year. We believe this was deliberate, in order to come in with a lower monthly price. (WRONG) We wasted two hours of our time just trying to get a monthly payment!!! (WRONG) Then the salesman and the manager both refused to give us an exact monthly payment. We didn't quite understand this stupidity. (WRONG) They don't have service hours on Saturday. (WRONG answer) They said we should go back to the Lynne's Infinity Dealership in Bloomfield, a 30 minute drive from our home. (RIGHT) Our cousin purchased their car at this dealership, and is also very unhappy with them. They told her they have service loaners. Yet after making an appointment for scheduled service and being promised a loaner. Upon arrival there weren't any loaners available. This is not a good thing to have happen, especially when you have four young children with you. (WRONG answer) Shame on You !!! ............................................................. IN CONTRAST, THESE PEOPLE DO IT RIGHT! Lynne' Infiniti Car Dealership -- 800-332-2842 -- Reginald Haynie -- (RIGHT) After our first visit, we went home to decide which color and what options we wanted. Our salesman, Reggie, was off the next day, but he called us from his home to ask what color and options we wanted. He located the truck we wanted, finalized the order and arranged for us to pick it up the very next day. Try to get in touch with a salesman on his day off anywhere else!!! It's refreshing to get a great price, knowledgeable sales person (Reggie), the right answers, and No Bull !!! (RIGHT) They are open Saturday for service (RIGHT answer) We bought the truck with no hassle, and were treated with courtesy and professionalism !!! (RIGHT) Thank you Reggie ====================================== 9-16-00 -- Let's pick on the Handicapped While driving by myself to the emergency entrance of Mountainside Hospital, the closest parking spot (including their lot) was at least a block away. There are "No Parking" signs on the street near the emergency entrance. Since I was in excruciating pain, could not walk and had to use crutches, I looked for the closest spot to the emergency entrance. I parked 10ft. in front of the sign that said no parking here to the corner. That meant there was still 40 ft. between the front of my car and the stop sign. I didn't see that as causing a problem for anybody. Officer Tom Hannigan saw my car had handicapped license plates, the car wasn't causing any problem where it was parked, it was near the emergency entrance of the hospital, and he just had to give me a parking ticket. I'm sure his parents would be proud. br> What ever happened to the phrase "To Protect and Serve?". Somehow I don't think it means to protect that 50ft. of ground in front of a stop sign and to serve tickets to the handicapped!!! It must be wonderful that the township of Glen Ridge doesn't have any crime whatsoever, and is paying officers to give out unnecessary parking tickets, when that officer could serve a more useful purpose like reporting suspicious persons or catching people that are committing or have committed crimes. I think it is obvious that this person doesn't have any compassion for the handicapped, and I am sure that if another car parked in the same space and had a police shield in the window, it wouldn't have gotten a ticket !!! Shame on You !!! |

 Treasure Clubs -- Metal Detecting, Treasure hunting, Mineral and Rockhounds Clubs. |
If you are metal detecting in New Jersey, you may now be breaking the law! The state legislature recently passed A1930 and I seriously suggest you read it carefully.
