Open Letter To Etsy

I have spent the past 30 minutes trying to sign in - I have a bill to pay and nothing is working. It's a positive crap shoot if I can log in or not. And on top of that nothing I'm listing is ever making it to the front page. WHY am I even creating anymore? Nothing I'm making is getting ANY exposure.

I'm getting terribly frustrated with this site and I'm hoping for some positive information here. Why did admin change how the listings on the FP load? People aren't getting any views. I have NEVER , EVER listed something and had it sit for TWO DAYS at 1 view. I don't even want to put stuff in my shop. It's wasting money.

Also, this logging in stuff has been happening over and over again as of late and for a site of this stature, makes me think that someone needs to sit up and fix the problem.

Please, I'm begging you - literally - fix the log in issue and make sure the FP listings and Time Machines show the items.....

I'm sure it will be closed, and I'm seriously considering forking over mega bucks to just have my own blessed site. ArtFire's lay out does nothing for me. I'm sick of Etsy's s&^%. If you want to read more about the problem, read one of many posts at Etsy Bitch and Closed Threads

Dunkin' Donuts

I now remember why I don't get coffee at Dunkin' Donuts. They are slower than molasses and they still get orders wrong. If you've followed the blog, you'll know that I had an episode last year with tea at DDs. You can check out that post here.

I got my Sunday morning coffee at the Freaky Bean, but they didn't have anything for breakfast there - so I decided to get an egg and cheese sandwich over at DDs. They double checked with me twice on my order, and got my order together incredibly slowly. All the while holding conversations with their drive-thru microphones on.......

And all of this for the want of a Tea.

Soooo, I woke up early today to get a lot of work done at school. As I was driving to school I commented on how heavy traffic was. I got of the turnpike and in a split second I chose between getting my morning tea at Dunkin' Donuts or Irving (Blue Canoe). I chose DD.

I pull in to the drive in thinking "wow, it's really busy today." But was ok waiting in line because I had time, it was only 6:41. It took forever to get through the drive through. I finally ordered my regular order: "medium regular tea black please" and they repeat "medium regular HOT tea black". I drive up and they try to give me two cappuccinos, "4.96 please". I said, "Oh no, I ordered a medium regular tea black, 1.81".

They didn't even have it prepared, so I waited, didn't take too long. I got my tea and went to work. I get to work and take the lid off to get rid of the tea bag ( I hate strong tea). My tea had CREAM in it!!!!!

I had time, so I went back to DD and went INSIDE this time. I asked the lady behind the counter to please correct the drive through's mistake: I ordered a "medium regular tea, black - NO cream".

She apologized and then got me tea. I pulled the little tabby up and it was black so I left.

I got to school and opened it up to take the tea bag out.......IT WAS COFFEE, BLACK.

Oh my gosh!!! It's about 7:15 now and I am bound and determined to get my tea. I drive back THROUGH construction to get to a really busy DD.........

I asked to speak with the manager on duty. I (as politely as I could) asked "I've been here three times in the past hour, could I please have a medium regular tea, black. It's been wrong twice. And I need a refund."

I got my tea and I got my refund. But I had to go back through construction to get to school AND I ended up behind the buses.

So in summary, I didn't finally get to school until 7:50... School started at 8am.

I am not sure if I want to go back there again.
