Padre Piper

@AmazonHelp Having to waste my time to have #Amazon fix their screw up while simultaneously being reticent to own their screw up but be very willing to apologize for MY experience (of their screw up)—well, that just takes the cake. How much is your budget for customer service training?

@PadrePiper Thanks for this information. For any further assistance, please use the link we shared to submit that form. -Shannon

It’s sorrowful when a company’s customer service is so bad that one feels obliged to shame them publicly. But @amazon needs to do better. Their customer service AI is VERY HIGH on A VERY LOW on I. Shameful that the customer has to do all the work to fix what #Amazon breaks.

@AmazonHelp See Shannon, your folks on the phone had access to everything. They fixed it. They even said “sorry.” But they were sorry for MY experience not #Amazon’s screw up and waste of my time. I only had a “MY experience” because of YOUR multilayered screw ups.

@PadrePiper We're sorry for the misunderstanding of your previous post. As we don't have access to accounts or internal systems via social media, you'll need to submit the form then. It's a simple form and you can copy and paste into it if like, to save you some time. -Shannon

@AmazonHelp Okay. Am I again dealing with AI? If the issue was properly handled on the phone, do you think I’d come to social media to share my disgust about your customer service?

@PadrePiper Only if you still need assistance. If the issue was resolved via phone, then you won't need to submit the form. Please let us know if we can assist with anything else. -Shannon

@AmazonHelp See, I spent over two hours of my time this evening with your AI customer service nonsense and then your chat nonsense and then your people on the phone, who fixed the problem but no brownie points for that because #Amazon CAUSED the problem. Now you want me to fill out forms?

We'd like to take a look at this, however, we don't have access to do so through social media platforms. Can you submit all relevant information, including the order and tracking numbers if you have them, via the form at this link: amzn.to/4qcv6Ul, so we can take a look? Please make sure to include your social media name. Once submitted, we'll reach out to you shortly via email. Keep an eye on your junk/spam folders as well as your inbox for a message from a social media resolution specialist. -Shannon

@AmazonHelp Hey Shannon, I’ve already reached out. In fact, I spect two hours of my life today trying to get something fixed that wasn’t my fault but yours—a simple $3.99 error. It’s the principle. So, if you want to chat, let’s do it publicly. Or I can share my recordings. You let me know.

@PadrePiper Hi there. We're sorry to hear you had a poor experience when reaching out to us. We'd like to help, if we can. Without sharing any personal, account, or order specific information, would you send us a DM, letting us know more about what's going? -Shannon twitter.com/messages/compo…

Have you seen these two guys? Do not approach them. Contact authorities… unless you’ve got pipe tobacco. Then, they’re pretty easy going.

Dear Friends, I’m on a bit of a hiatus from the #YTPC but I’ve begun posting my theological ramblings on Substack for anyone interested in following me there. @frgraf?r=jr6gp&utm_medium=ios" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">substack.com/@frgraf?r=jr6g…

It’s been a while but I had to come here to express my sincere hurt by the ingratitude shown me by my “friend” Mark V.V. aka @mgvsquared for including the @MrBrog I gifted him years ago in his #pipepurge youtu.be/UAX1wwo2WWs?si…

@PadrePiper Nice to see you -- what's new? How's the pup doing?

Hello pipers. It’s been a while.

Hey #YTPC! Anybody up for Compline?

I’m sorry, but that @Hertz commercial with @TomBrady going to Colorado in an #EV… that’s so pathetic. #cringe

@OccupyDemocrats This account is simply a spin factory.

BREAKING: Conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is hit with a devastating new bombshell as reporters reveal that he may have committed “criminal” acts as a new report shows his corruption “is more extensive than previously known.” But it gets WAY worse for Thomas… According to the new ProPublica report, Thomas had also enjoyed “numerous flights on private planes, skybox tickets to sporting events, stays at luxury resorts, and a standing invitation to play at a high-end private golf club in Florida. The new report is the most scandalous and broadest look yet at how Thomas’ social circle has funded – with limited disclosure to the public – a regular stream of extravagant excursions and events since he became a Supreme Court justice. These costly trips and travel perks often went unreported on the justice’s financial disclosure forms, ProPublica found in its investigation. This latest investigation unearths a pattern of gifts to Thomas from Crow and three other billionaires who have been major contributors to Republican causes: David Sokol, the former heir apparent of Berkshire Hathaway; the late H. Wayne Huizenga, who made his vast fortune in his ownership of Blockbuster, Waste Management Inc. and other major companies; and Paul “Tony” Novelly, who formerly owned an oil company. ProPublica interviewed more than 100 people, including staff that would have worked some of the trips that Thomas took. It also reviewed records obtained from the US Marshals Service, tax court filings, and personal photographs. Sokol acknowledged in a statement to ProPublica that he hosted the Thomases. “We have never once discussed any pending court matter,” Sokol said. “Our conversations have always revolved around helping young people, sports, and family matters.” “As to the use of private aviation,” he added, “I believe that given security concerns all of the Supreme Court justices should either fly privately or on governmental aircraft.” Both the lack of transparency about his financial relationships with Republican megadonors, and the jet-setting lifestyle he’s enjoyed because of those friendships, put Thomas out of step with how lower court judges and other government officials approach their ethical obligations, legal experts told ProPublica. Jeremy Fogel, a former judge who for years reviewed lower court judges’ financial disclosures, told ProPublica the amount of undisclosed gifts Thomas received is unlike anything he’s ever seen. “In my career I don’t remember ever seeing this degree of largesse given to anybody,” said Fogel. “I think it’s unprecedented.” The new revelations also raise questions about whether Thomas broke the law.

@OccupyDemocrats This is NOT breaking, NOT news, and NOT true. This account needs some @elonmusk attention.

BREAKING: The Cuban restaurant in Miami that hosted Donald Trump’s post-arraignment campaign stop is hit with devastating news as its longtime Cuban customers launch a boycott against it for hosting “a criminal who endangered our national security.” But it gets even better… The leaders of the boycott blasted Trump, declaring that, “It’s not as if he was charged with breaking a dish in the White House. He was charged with putting the national security of the United States in danger.” One of the leaders, who migrated to Miami from Cuba to flee Castro’s regime, declared that the restaurant hosting Trump was “an insult to the country that took us in.” Another longtime Cuban regular of the restaurant, Versailles restaurant in Little Havana, declared, “I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to go back there again. Trump is not just a regular politician. He’s a criminal It was all for show and it was a betrayal. He claims to be anti-communist, but in every other way, he’s a wannabe dictator.” Another Cuban regular took aim at Trump and his supporters, declaring that, “Trump’s supporters look like they’re possessed. We’ve seen these ‘rallies’ before. Fidel Castro did it.” Please retweet and ❤️ if you support this boycott — and consider investing in Tribel, a “woke” new Twitter competitor that is currently doing a round of equity crowdfunding and just blew past $1.3 million raised from 3,400 of its users.

@OccupyDemocrats Why is every tweet “breaking” and a “bombshell”? The reality is, 90% of the crap you post is simply spin posted for the sake of demagoguery and the remaining 10% is… how shall we say…. lies. You have zero credibility.

BREAKING: January 6 Committee member Congressman Adam Schiff drops bombshell, puts Donald Trump on notice that the crimes that he committed before, during, and after January 6 are “far more significant” than his Espionage Act violations, demands that Special Counsel Jack Smith immediately charge Trump for inciting the insurrection and trying to steal Biden’s win. Congressman Schiff continued, telling Jen Psaki that “it was first-ever attempt by a president to interfere in the peaceful transfer of power in our country; the violent attack of thousands of people against police officers at the Capitol designed to stop the joint session from certifying the new winner of the presidential election, Joe Biden. It’s hard to imagine a more serious set of offenses than that. He concluded. “On the January 6th Committee, we recommended that the Justice Department investigate Trump’s role and likely violation of multiple laws. The Special Counsel should reach a conclusion of his investigation very soon because it has taken WAY too long to get to where they are. We're now more than two years since those events and we need speedy justice."

BREAKING: President Biden scores a massive early win in the 2024 election as America's top union organization, the AFL-CIO, officially endorses his reelection campaign. The coveted endorsement comes as Biden prepares to visit Philadelphia — a city where he is deeply loved — to rally with union members. In addition to the AFL-CIO, dozens of unions announced their endorsements of the historically pro-labor Biden. Right now, the United States is in the midst of a powerful labor union moment with strikes and unionization efforts sweeping the nation. It's absolutely crucial that we maintain a Democrat in the White House to strengthen that wave. “There’s absolutely no question that Joe Biden is the most pro-union president in our lifetimes,” AFL-CIO president Liz Shuler said. “From bringing manufacturing jobs home to America to protecting our pensions and making historic investments in infrastructure, clean energy and education, we’ve never seen a president work so tirelessly to rebuild our economy from the bottom up and middle out.” The AFL-CIO also endorsed Biden in 2020 in May of that year, roughly a year later in the cycle than this new endorsement. Clearly, they have a great deal of confidence in him and understand that their interests closely align.

@OccupyDemocrats And this will appear totally on the up and up when Biden and other Dems aren’t charged for similar actions. This will be how the once great party of @TheDemocrats comes to a final, screeching halt of existence in American history—by their own dishonest political hand.

BREAKING: Massive bombshell drops on Donald Trump as it’s revealed that the Justice Department is preparing to ask a D.C. grand jury to indict him for violating the Espionage Act and obstruction of justice. The indictment could come as soon as tomorrow. The violation of the criminal code relates to Section 793 which prohibits “gathering, transmitting or losing” any “information respecting the national defense.” This is a MASSIVE development that could spell doom not only for Trump’s presidential campaign but his literal freedom as well. He may soon be trading Mar-a-Lago for a concrete cell! RT and ❤️ if you think that Trump belongs in prison — and consider joining the exodus to new Twitter competitor Tribel.com.

Been a while since I’ve had time to just watch TV. Surprised to find that some of the content on @amazon @PrimeVideo is now loaded with ads even as the annual cost of #Amazon #Prime increases. I sense consumer market conditions getting rough for a lot of entertainment platforms.
