This one is for Jeff.
Today's asshole is Value City Furniture. Here is the story. Although, I need to tell you a little background information.
Ok. Not too many people know this story. When I left my ex-husband, I did not take the bed. (You imagine why) So for the first month or 2 I slept on the floor with a bunch of blankets. Then, I got an air mattress. I slept on that for almost a year and a half. I brought a box spring and mattress with a bonus we got. No bed frame. I just put them on the floor. When I moved to Richmond my mom gave me a bed frame so I was finally off the floor. So over the last 2 years I have been looking at different types of beds and wanting one.
About 2 weeks ago I notice that "American Signature" had changed. It was now a Value City Furniture. So, I went in to look around and found out they were selling off all the American Signature pieces.
When my grandmother moved here from California I help her pick out and set up her new bedroom suite. I got the dresser and nightstand when she died. They were American Signature pieces. (my sitter got the bed) I thought, "If they have a good price on a bed that matches I might get it." I went in 3 days in a row to look and go back and see my room. I even took Ms. Jill, my mom, and some of my nick nacks to see if it would match my bed. I decided that it was a good deal and I would get it. I went to pay for it and was told I can pick it up in 3 weeks. Damn, I wanted to take it home today. I asked if I could have the floor model and was told no. I went home happy that I was going to get a bed but I would have to wait 3 weeks for it.
I went in again last Sat to show Sean what I got. I looked and looked and looked. It was no longer there. So I went and asked about it and was told they moved it to another part of the store. That did not sound right to me. I wanted to check on my bed. I had a feeling something was wrong. I asked about my bed and when it would be in. Jason checked in the computer then picked up the phone and called the manager. I heard Jason tell the manager about my bed and that the computer was showing none avablible.
Shit! They sold my bed. They took my money and sold my bed to someone else. I was pissed. I was told by Jason that they could not get any more Ash furniture. I was also told that VC was changing the finish on that bed and the new one should be in next week. I was told they would give me that bed instead of the one I wanted. I was pissed. Then manager never came by to see me. He just did not care his people took my $ and sold my bed to someone else.
On the way out I snapped at everyone who tried to sell me anything. I was not a happy camper.
I am not sure what I am going to do. I want to take the money and run. But I really want a bed that matches my bedroom. Now, I am not sure where that leaves me. BUT I do know I am without a bed again.

Doesn't it feel good to vent like that?
Here's what I would do (as I do with all my 'todays assholes'), demand your money back and never give them your business again. It would look much better to have a metal bedframe that compliments the current furniture than to have a wood frame that doesn't match.
Sorry you have to deal with these assholes. I'll boycott too, on your behalf.
I hope you used a credit card. If so you can dispute the charge and that would do it.
BTW, I was considering getting a sofa from American Signature in Atlanta...Now I'll steer clear of them. Good luck.
I would use American Signature again. It is Value City crap store I will not go to anymore.
giant buttholes.
that is all i have to say.
