Are We becoming a Country of Scams/

The office people claimed we never told them what kind of installation it was. But I was in the room when DH was talking to them the first time, and heard him give very explicit detail, including a description of the space, the venting and the brand and model number of the current water heater. He asked when we could get a water heater installed, and they hemmed and hawed and wouldn’t commit. So he said no thanks, as he didn’t appreciate the indecision and especially being essentially told he was a liar. He was incredibly polite given all the hoops he jumped through to try to get this done, and then got ghosted for several days when they knew we were without hot water and had offered a same day installation. He’s a lot nicer in situations like that than I am. But he did cuss a blue streak after he hung up.

That did go badly, sorry y’all had such an experience.

Sounds like over-eager weekend phone gal way over-promised, then didn’t communicate to the Saturday work guy, or the regular-week staff.

Communications breakdown like that is interesting in what it says about how poorly the company is run. People handle their jobs as they are incentivized to do so. These people seemed to have no incentives to do well by the customer.
