]]> Comment on Jiffy Lube really hopes I can’t read by Nick http://stupidmoneyhacks.com/?p=38#comment-2467 Nick Tue, 23 Mar 2010 01:58:52 +0000 http://stupidmoneyhacks.com/?p=38#comment-2467 Here's another one: Don't ever go to Jiffy Lube. A friend got her oil changed there. Showed her the checklist at the end. She pays and drives off. Few miles later the engine starts smoking. She drives it back to the JL. Turns out they neglected to refill her oil. One bad egg? Maybe. I won't chance it though. Here’s another one: Don’t ever go to Jiffy Lube. A friend got her oil changed there.

Its more about changing the way we live and teaching our children, and evebntually thier children to step away from our throw everything away and forget about it mentality. Have you ever visited a dump site or a recycle center? Are you afraid to face the truth or change your ways. Is laziness an excuse? I don't think people need to hear the negative and uneducated comments about this program, what they really need to hear is how it can change their community and even their lives.

I never thought netflix could stoop to this level. My husband and I just loved netflix for their efficiency during the trial period. We have to restart the services though...but now I'm having second thoughts. This is interesting. I never thought netflix could stoop to this level.

Of course, he only won a couple thousand, but I remember as a kid going over to their house and seeing a huge box full of tickets. We were told that if we ever saw one on the floor to pick it up for him...mind you, I was 6 or so. Hahah...so this is illegal? Ooops... Oh my gosh, my uncle did this too!!!

I think it depends on where you live since they do send DVDs from different "warehouses". I do get slightly annoyed when they decide to send me a DVD cross-country and then it takes me 2 days to get it instead of 1. I actually tried blockbuster with their free trial, and I don't like them at all!!! While they do have stores (haven't tried doing that exchange yet), they don't send my movies in the order they appear in my queue, and thats when they actually say "available"! Their selection is also quite limited in comparison with Netflix, but I guess that wouldn't matter if you're primarily interested in new releases. I'm sticking with Netflix. I will admit though, their "recommendations" are usually way off. I usually just use them to get a good laugh at some bad movie titles/synopses.

There was some sort of famous case where someone was caught doing this because the tickets showed signs of shoe-marks on them, and the losses were disallowed.
