It pays to COMPLAIN
by So last summer I planned a trip to go to FLORIDA with the boys. However I couldn't make it due to school... So there was my plane ticket paid for and sitting there yearning to be used. But it couldn't. Anyhow.. the rest of the guys get to go to FLA. However the plane was redirected through cleveland. For compensation the guys got a free hotel nights stay and free dinner at a nice resturant.. total packge of like 200 per person. Seeing as how I still had my plane ticket that compensation should have applied for me too ( not really seeing as how i didn't go.. but i made it apply ! ) Anyway so i call up this lady.. talk to her complaining that we were redirecting.. the first person i talked to said. NO.. can't do anything for you . So i called again and got someone else.. SHe said ok .. you can have a free ticket anywhere in the USA, Canada, or mexico.. I was like .. SWEEEEEET... and then I said how about my traveling companions.. SHE SAID. OK FOR THEM TOO. SO all in all for complaining i got 4 free tickets..worth anywhere from 99-1200 bucks a pop... Thank YOU and goodbye.
Jesus even said be persistent to get what you want.
