So, I was calling around looking for some show ticket donations for the Branson area. I called a few local businesses and I honestly don't mind them saying they aren't interested, can't afford it, or already helping someone. I don't mind being told No at all. What I don't like is when people say, "No Way" or they just plain old hang up on you. How rude and unprofessional?! I called the Branson Hotline 417-823-3064. They were one of those extremely rude companies. I called Branson Central Reservations 417-334-4991 and she's the one who actually hung up on me. I wanted to call back and say, "Sorry, we must have been disconnected", but I decided to be the bigger person. I had one guy at "Branson Show Tickets" 417-336-5925 say he was on the other line and he would call me right back. I used a different phone line so he could do that and guess what...he never called me back. He could have just said he wasn't interested or couldn't at this time. I am a very understanding person. I had several people direct me to someone else and then that person directed me to someone else. I think to some it was a game and some they honestly didn't know what to do. I'll even take that better than a business hanging up on me. That's just immature. So, I named the businesses and gave you their phone numbers. Don't do business with them.
As for good companies, I got turned down by several. Price Cutter, Lacey, was extremely cordial. She said they had lots of donation requests and could only take so many. She also said they were corporate sponsors for Relay For Life and appreciated what I was doing. I like those kind of No's. Wal-mart managers I spoke with were very nice and Dixie Stampede was above par. They could not have been nicer.
I've decided that I'm big on reviews. I want to know what other people think about a product or a company. It really helps me decide what to buy and where. So, from now on, those who impress me or don't will get a review. You'll know how I really feel.
