Where’s Freddy, the window blinds salesman?

40% discount on window blinds, blinded by offer.

That feeling when you are denied service because manpower is down. Window Blind Woes.

Finally, after 9 days, an appointment is fixed on the 10th day.

He cancels appointment in the late afternoon. After we had waited the whole day.

Salesman gives obliging reply that he’ll arrange for appointment.

Salesman took flight and didn’t make appointment.
