MnD in FIDI, Downtown NYC

MnD visited FIDI (Financial District in Downtown New York City) yesterday. First thing was the free ferry trip to Staten Island. I have done that too, more than once. And it's prettty cool I have to say. Good view, nice breeze & all that, for FREE. Then I walked them through the famous Wall Street of New York City and we reached NYSE, The New York Stock Exchange. Not only that, but I took them for a visit of NYSE Trading Floor. We walked on the trading floor, roamed around & took pictures and thenw e enjoyed the famous "Closing Bell" too. Pretty Cool!! Then we walked to the Trinity Church. After spending half an hour there, the next stop was the 911 Memorial. Currently, you need to get special entry passses from 911memorial.org. Then get there & get in. Not bad at all. The museum is still under construction. The two waterfalls are ready. I would like to go there again.. Then a visit to Century 21 aftter a long time, for a quick but short shopping spree cuz they gave me $10 after my last disastrous experience there. It was okay....

So the visit to FIDI, Downtown NYC was totally AWESOME!!!!!

Century 21 is horrible, really sucks... No End of World / Shackleford wins Preakness / Bloodworth

I liked Century 21, everyone knows that. I promoted them a lot & have referred so many customers there & all that. I have appreciated them in my blogs too. I said that they don't have the best service but great product selection, nice prices & stuff like that. But I have to say today that they are horrible. WHY? Well, one of the worst Customer Service ever I have encountered. There Store Manager Steven F. (I am not saying 'F' word, I just don't remember full last name) is the worst Store Manager kinda guy I have ever met, just completely inadequate, incompetent & HORRIBLE.... WHY? We bought some clothing there last weekend & the cashier forgot to take off the alarm lock thingy they have on the clothes. Even the security didn't notice it when we got out (even when it did buzz). Of course the clothing was not usable and we were very-very disappointed. I went back to store last Friday and went to Customer Service on 3rd floor. I waited in line for a while & when I reached the representative she said that she can't help me & will have to call the Store Manager. She called him on Walkie-Talkie & he was somehow already pissed. He comes & first thing he tells me that it's my fault I couldn't use the stuff because I could have gone to any store & could have had it taken off. Really? I am supposed to know that? Or if I was traveling, am i supposed to be traveling with the receipts do I can take it to other stores? He was very rude & inconsiderate through out this conversion. & I am really pissed by now. He tells me all they can do is refund me my money & take it back or take the lock off. You know: C21 has a policy that if the cashier forgets to give the receipt, they give you $10 coupon. If the cashier forgets to ring an item & you come back with original receipt, they give you the item for free plus $30 gift card. Why would someone come back if its not ringed & it wont be on receipt, right? BUT ANYWAYS, they have nothing for this case. can't do just anything. The manager was SO RUDE & ready to do nothing what so ever. Can you believe that. What a horrible service & horrible store manager. I am planning on complaining further to corporate office etc & see what do they do.....

BTW, wasn't it supposed to be End of World yesterday? Ohh, the true one is 2012.... No idea why & how people believe in this kinda stuff. This guy was shooting a documentary in downtown about End of World & they interviewed me in it. There view was that this one is fake but 2012 is REAL. I should write a separate post about this some time, but it's ridiculous. This MTA employee spent all his savings to promote this, another woman spent kids college fund & left her job and all other stuff. Seriously?? I spent my evening shopping at TJ Max & Marshalls and watched Preakness Stakes. My prediction of Shackleford winning came out to be true. Went home & enjoyed Bloodworth from On Demand. I'll give it 7/10, it's interesting tale of E.F. Bloodworth who abandons his wife & kids for a life on road. Val Kimer is good & Hillary Duff was okay as well. The story line is not very clear but its inteersting & music is nice too. So that was my EOW day.

Weather's been rainy & cold lately which kinda sucks. Today I was in New Jersey & had to take NJ Transit for 2nd time. Not bad at all, just takes an hour or so. Maybe I should/would move to New Jersey. I went to Rasoi Restaurant in Edison & had lunch buffet. I was BAD after long time.. ate rice, naan, fried food, sweets etc. Couldn't resist. How often do I go to NJ anyways. It was good food. I did workout really hard yesterday though & my abs still hurt. Will try a controlled diet for now.

Enough for now, more will come when I am on vacation maybe or we'll see. Thanks for visiting, reading & commenting. Until next time... Take Care, Have fun, keep visiting/reading/commenting. JAI HO!!

Burlington Coat Factory SUCKS... more than The Last Airbender!!

Why? I bought winter booots there for $49.99 but I had to return them cuz they were not comfortable. I go back to return & they (rudely)  tell me that it's marked down by $10.01 now, it's for $39.98. So if I don't have the reciept I can only get store credit for $39.99. I didnt have the reciept so I took it & bought a brown leather shoe for $39.99. Turns out this shoe was not comfortable as well. BTW, I am not talking about my bad choice of shoes or bad quality of shoes at BCF. The problem is when I went to return it. The girls at counter were not only rude again but the girl tells me that these shoes are marked down by $10 again. SO now I'll get $29.99. I tried to go with reciept this time but it turned out I had return reciept & not the correct one. They tried (tofake like last time) to find it with credit card I used & said they can't. This time I said I'll get the reciept. I go back home & bring teh reciept next day and they give me $39.99. However, I check the same shoe on the rack, it's still $39.999. They lied to me about it being marked down. What the Funk.... REALLY???

Anyways.. the weekend was nice. Shopping as you just heard. Shopping for my upcoming Florida/Miami/Orlando Vacation. But fun shopping was at Century 21 as usual. I just love C21. Not best service but GOOD STUFF & not horrible service. The weather's been not horrible but rainy & still kinda cold. I dunno what to say about that. It's just weird. Like the movie I watched this weekend, The LAst Airbender. I like M. Night Shyamalan & think people are usually hard on him. I usually liked her work. Even the movie Water Lady. But this one.... ummmmm... not so much.... or not at all!! I'll have to give it 4/10. I mean the visuals were good & the concept ain't bad (its kinda popular with many). But horrible direction & acting. Movie is just weird the way it moves around. No character development, no sense & just WEIRD. Anyways, need to do more shopping & prepping for vacation. Thanks for reading, keep visiting & commenting.... JAI HO!!
