Customer service in the US has been declining for a long time. Had absolutely abysmal experiences with @Kohls & @ThredUp this week. Not the customer reps fault. These companies are so greedy they've slashed back on service to the point of disfunction so no more of my $ for them.
Today I got to meet one of the best humans on the planet and take terrible selfie with him.
