Being in the business my husband and I are in, we speak with neighborhood businesses everyday that are struggling to keep their doors open, so when it came time for us to get fish and supplies for our 7 year old son's first fish tank we purchased off of Craigs List for $20.00, we figured we would take our business to a neighborhood store for the fish, food, rocks and a new filter, we bought 4 guppies and 1 sucker fish, the store attendant suggested Freshwater R.O., for. 69 cents a gallon, we bought 10 gallons, after everything, our bill came to $98.25.
When we got home, I then looked at the receipt and noticed we were charged $29.98 for the jugs they put the water in, I immediately called the store but got no answer, the following morning I called and spoke with a Barry Thorne who said he was the owner, I explained to him I was unaware of the water jugs being $30.00, and if I had known, I would have never bought reversed osmosis (bottled water), after going back and forth, he agreed to refund me on one jug, $14.98, when I arrived at the store there were to Deputies next door having lunch, I entered the store with the jugs, he was very confrontational and demanded an apology, when I told him I had no reason to apologize he left the store saying he was going to get the owner, he came back with the Deputies who were having lunch next door, he told them he had asked me to leave the store (which he had not) and I would not and he wanted them to cite me for trespassing.
The Deputies thought the whole thing was terrible and was pretty feed up with his attitude, when they asked for his id, he claim he had none, but after stressing they needed it, he then went in his pocket to produce his DL. I was issued a Tresspassing Warning, along with 2 jugs for $30.00 and a vow never to go anywhere near that NEIGHBORHOOD STORE again.
