I am writing to file a complaint regarding the WetGo Unlimited Car Wash subscription service and its **** tag policy. I have been a subscriber to WetGos unlimited car wash service, and after reviewing the terms, I noticed a discrepancy between the stated terms and the enforcement of those terms.The WetGo Unlimited Car Wash programs terms of service state that the **** tag will be affixed to the windshield of my vehicle. However, the word will does not imply a mandatory, permanent attachment, and I believe this leaves room for flexibility in how the tag can be used. Despite this, I have been informed that the **** tag must be permanently attached to the windshield, which I find contradictory to the wording in the terms.I have attempted to resolve this issue with ****** customer service and with ***** *********, WetGos Senior Specialist. Unfortunately, I have not received a satisfactory resolution, and the explanation provided does not adequately address the inconsistency in the terms.I am seeking a resolution that would allow me to use the **** tag without permanently affixing it to my windshield, as I believe this is in line with the programs terms.I would appreciate any assistance in helping facilitate a resolution to this matter.Customer Answer

My doctor sent me prescriptions for sibxone to giant eagle pharmacy on ****** ave. Came to pick them up told me they wasn't ready and give them 30 minutes. 30 minutes after shopping in a store I did not want shop at because of how expensive they are. They then tell me they do not have enough and can't give me any. I said I haven't had any and have to work tomorrow can you do a partial fill for what they do have. Nope can't do that when rite aid ******* and ********* have all did that. Because this is a medicine to help with addiction. They proceeded to tell me to come back the next day after 2pm I come at 310pm and still not ready I am now on day 2 of being sick got sent home early from work for snot dripping on customers food from not having my subxone. And I spent 50+$ in there while waiting which I wouldn't have spent a ***** since they lied about having my medicine ready. So 50$ and hours of my time wasted.

I received a prescription at this location that I believed was questionable and I was not comfortable with using it. It even said in the safety documents that I got with the medication from the pharmacy,not to use it if it looked a certain way. I brought my concerns to the pharmacist manager in a phone call and was told they would not exchange the medication.And that I would have to send it back to the manufacturer. I disagreed with the pharmacist about returning the medication to the manufacturer and was rudely hung up on. The pharmacist manager didnt even suggest that I bring the medication in for him to inspect. So I contacted the manufacturer and was told I could not send it back to them, and that it was OK to return and they would contact the pharmacy with return instructions for them to return the medication. I contacted the manufacturer two days later, and was told that they did talk to the pharmacy and inform them. I contacted the pharmacy Manager after speaking to the manufacturer, and was told this all had to go through giant eagle corporate. I informed him that I needed this medication within four ******* now I am waiting to find out if I am going to be made whole. The pharmacy was not helpful at all and now I am left waiting and worrying to find out what will happen. The pharmacist Manager did not seem concerned at all that I may have to go without my medication. He is very rude.Business Response

I had a ***** gift card I was trying to use online. The total did not show the price minus *****.When I spoke with *** she promised me and made me feel unsympathetic, in every way shape or form . It was the tone I was left with.When the delivery was supposed to happen, they called me because it was not the right amount..What I have to do is go to a local store to pick up by myself, which to most people is not a big deal. I have a condition that when I walk I have to urinate very bad. I am on disability and cant physically work because of the situation.I want them to apply a 100 gift card for their problemBusiness Response

Regards,***** *******
this is from their personal response and what they did tell me
that it was a temporary hold and
would not be charged until the order was shopped/processing
which means the should have been *****
****** gift card
***** total after gift card
the actual total from the cashier told me was ***** not ***** .
it was not what your system said was.
I've been a store manager most my life , this is definitely the worst experience i have ever been part of.
they were basically talking down to me like it it was my fault. a great store manager should have called the day of the delivery to make sure it was done correctly.
at 53 i am on personal disability , which in short means the more i walk the more i urinate, badly . this is the only reason i cant take a walk, or even walk into a retail store and shop.
luckily when i spoke with ***** the store manager of your ******************* , the incompetence i received, i gave him my list and he went ang got everything, he even offered to assist in me taking the items from the car
i did hang up on you guys i don't apologize for that .
a great member of any management staff , should have fllesed
based on my .
this is from their response 100%

I signed up for the Advantagepay system through Giant Eagle that in return from auto debiting your account, you get a reduction in the price of fuel. On 12/21 I make two separate transactions from Giant Eagle for $109.93 and at Get Go Gas for $40. Funds were in my checking account and available to cover these transactions and I was under the believe this system worked like a debit card. On 12/26 I was send notice from My Perks Pay Support that my payment did not go through. I was confused by this as the funds were in my account when the transactions were made, replied back to their email asking for further explanation. On Sunday 12/29 I followed up and had not heard anything back, on Monday 12/30 I got a reply back from a company called Spire telling me to call this company called Check **** for assistance with Payment. I called this Check Redi and they read off the charges and only help or explanation offered was to go to their payment page to make payment on the account. On 12/31 I saw 4 unsuccessful attempts were made to debit money from my checking account without prior notice. I called my bank and got the vendor info with 2 being the Giant Eagle charges and 2 being separate $50 per transaction charges for the failed debits for Check Redi. Since it just happened this morning, I'm not sure if there will additional charges as well. So now my ****** charge they are telling me has ballooned up to ****** at least. Had I just used my debit card that day, none of this would occured. This sounds like predatory business practices in an attempt to extort hard working PA citizens from their hard earned money to save a few cents off a gallon of gas. This needs to be investigated and stopped ASAP before someone else get's ripped off.Business Response
