Most Retarded eCommerce Experience

Posted in Personal, Reviews on December 2nd, 2005

This week I had my most retarded eCommerce shopping experience ever with Safeway.com. I think that ordering groceries and everything is great online, but Safeway has a lot to learn. For example, when you order products on the website, the products can be on sale today and will show the sale price, and they definately charge your credit card today, but you will NOT get the sale price if the products are not on sale when they arrive for delivery which could be the next day or the day after. This makes absolutely zero sense. Furthermore, you don’t know exactly when delivery is available until you checkout. Then get this, after you checkout, and get the bad non sale prices on some of your items, there is a survey! It asks you to rate on a scale of 1 to 10 their service. The screen has a bug so you can only select “10″ the highest mark. Wow. I wrote to their customer service, and of course, no reply. If anyone has a better online grocery service, let me know.

Live at the Improv

This week I started standup comedy classes at the San Francisco Comedy College. I figured I might as well put to good use some of the incredibly stupid things I have seen this year, and make good material out of them. The couse is held at the Improv in San Jose which is a great club, and one of the benefits is that you can stay after class and see the show. The school runs open mikes throughout the Bay Area so when I finish the course you can come to one of my shows.
