And thank ...PenniPete, OMG thank you for the laugh! And thank you all for your heartfelt commentaries. Even seattle-anon allows a window of clarity that is telling, and important. Clearly Bonanza has missed its mark in providing a quality product and satisfactory customer service. Naturally, its customers (myself included) will discuss their experiences, and I hold the possibility open that management might even read the feedback with the mindset that the information could help them to improve their product and services... customer feedback can be a wonderful opportunity for insight and a catalyst for positive action.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578231221165517887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7633741982050826003.post-37482580238934506862011-05-28T13:15:58.258-04:002011-05-28T13:15:58.258-04:00There's nothing like producing the SNL skit RI...There's nothing like producing the SNL skit RIGHT from the "Get Go" Penni.

Humor the HI's to blindly follow, promote the business at their own expense and charge a monthly fee to those daffy enough to pay it. (laugh track)<br /> <br />(Enter squad of jackbooted, goose steppers)If any HI becomes lucid enough to realize they're being had, DMV, suspend or ban them from expressing further thoughts. In fact, give the rogues 5 years!(laugh track)(applause sign)<br /> <br />Promise advertising, to be done after the platform is stable enough to handle the looming throngs of buyers. Deploy untested software daily to ensure platform instability. Place the blame squarely on operator error, cookies, cache and ISPs. If HI's balk, look innocent and the other way. (Audience plants shout: HUZZAH! and AWESOME!)<br /> <br />When mass exodus begins, remove published traffic stats, send out PR indicating best month ever, offer remaining HI's; good grades, stars and poker chips.

So does this mean that anything any business does is their "private business?" I do believe that is why we have resources available to report misconduct by any business such as the BBB. There is no such thing as a truly private business. <br /><br />If you provide a service to anyone for monetary gain you must be accountable for your actions, and anyone unhappy with that service has a right to express their opinions of such service and to file complaints when the service provided is substandard.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03795824467836088581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7633741982050826003.post-69142922024346656192011-05-27T21:26:07.472-04:002011-05-27T21:26:07.472-04:00I never give any credibility to those who hide and...I never give any credibility to those who hide and will not post with their real name.. withe the exception of those who fear retaliation from Bonanza, that is a good reason.. however, the SNL poster is nothing but a coward.. obviously not intimidated by Bonanza or afraid of retaliation.. so hiding just makes you a coward..not that I'm surprisedpugshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05606713285497089280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7633741982050826003.post-87835428856291492652011-05-27T21:25:07.505-04:002011-05-27T21:25:07.505-04:00BTW, I wish you the best in your future endeavors ...BTW, I wish you the best in your future endeavors also. ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03795824467836088581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7633741982050826003.post-92054010828851978992011-05-27T21:10:54.452-04:002011-05-27T21:10:54.452-04:00Anonymous said...WHAT??

I wonder what a counselor would say for you to speak of your son's great achievement in one breath, and then your disdain for Bonanza in the very next sentence. I would think that your sons achievement should stand alone and get it's own blog post and it should not be used to echo your consistent gripes you have with how a private business (yes, that is right, a private business) operates.

So why does Bz bother to allow comments? <br /><br />Condescending and arrogant remark to sellers that are having difficulty navigating the glitches, and may be without sales. From the Bonanza blog: <br /><br />"We can only hope that you will use that time to go sell some lemonade or brownies to save enough money to come hang out with us in Vegas in June. What's fair is fair, right?" - <br /><br />The avatar change from CEO to fruit merits your perfect title for this blog - Talk to the banana and tell me how it feels.
