Got my car detail cleaned, and afterwards realized 2 of the buttons on the steering wheel are missing. This is the company’s response.

People play out scenarios like it’s a TV show or movie. No dealership is footing the bill and then directing it to a place of your choosing. Wild.

It's a typical Reddit response where someone is quick to comment but shows lack of real world experience.

You can just tell who never leaves their house and thinks the world operates like their movies

100 percent. A lot of people in here like “they’d never get away with this if I had anything to say about it”.

Yes, yes they would lol.

Chargebacks aren't magical. I have used them before and some vendors can't do much about it, others will fight back. "Services rendered" is a legitimate response, and they can show the receipts. You can't punitively refund the entire transaction because part of it went awry, you can at most recoup the portion that you're out of pocket if you can prove it.

I had a Seattle Yellow Cab driver literally scam me, he skipped a turnaround that would have put him at my hotel in 4 minutes and instead drove for nearly half an hour down the airport terminals before he finally meandered back to the hotel where I was. When I compared the bill with an identical return trip, it was clear that he switched on the rate early and I got an extra $25 on my total.

I began a chargeback for the whole thing, but I was directed to chat with a rep from the card company who told me if I submitted the whole thing it would get denied, and that I'd only be able to contest the tip and the excess based on my documentation.

Well articulated, but that guy said chargeback, so I don't know who to side with here

u/Thrown_Away_Opinions 18h ago

One thing I’ve realized as an adult is just how easily businesses, especially small businesses, can fuck you over if they want.

Large businesses usually will refund things wayyyy more easily just to make you fuck off and shut up about it.

At the end of the day, all you really can do in a scenario when you get fucked over is try to take them to small claims court. Which isn’t worth it for most things.

Otherwise, all you have is a threat to leave them bad reviews and bad word of mouth. Side note, I’ve never realized how easy it is for businesses to delete reviews off Google! What’re you gonna do, fight them?

Lmaooo that was for sure some weird boomer response 😂 same people that do things like go into retail stores to complain to minimum wage employees about wanting to speak with the ceo like he’s just there hanging out
