Shoppers, if you feel you have *rights* to what you won on a Lucky Chair… think again. Especially in regards to gift certificates on lucky chairs, those are at the discretion of the shop owner, and can, and often will, have restricted uses. (i.e, cannot be combined)
I’m also quite sure throwing a temper tantrum doesn’t help, either, nor does posting 6 new topics in a no-reply *classifieds only* forum, or to split up chat logs in order to make yourself look good.
Read on:
[13:46] Elissa Bristol: I wanted to ask you something.
[13:46] Popfuzz Bamboo: sure
[13:47] Elissa Bristol: okay you know I’ve spent a lot at your store…and I was wondering if like I gave you all my giftcards you could combine them into one huge giftcard
[13:47] Popfuzz Bamboo: im sorry i cant do that
[13:47] Elissa Bristol: then why do you give out 25L giftcards?
[13:47] Elissa Bristol: God thats messed up
[13:47] Popfuzz Bamboo: theres plenty of $25 items downstais
[13:48] Elissa Bristol: spent over 3000L at your place and you won’t combine like 6 100L giftcards and 8 25L and 4 50s
[13:48] Popfuzz Bamboo: its just against store policy
[13:48] Elissa Bristol: yeah but you own the store.
[13:48] Elissa Bristol: So okay then. I will resell them and make a post on the forums.
[13:48] Popfuzz Bamboo: i will allow multiple cards to pay for up to 50% off any one item
[13:48] Elissa Bristol: You’ve lost a customer
[13:48] Elissa Bristol: right.
[13:48] Elissa Bristol: you just want the person to have to pay the balance
[13:49] Popfuzz Bamboo: yes if they want a more expensive item then yse they need to pay the difference
[13:49] Popfuzz Bamboo: but theres a ton of items for sale that are $25 and $50
[13:49] Elissa Bristol: Then what is the the point
[13:49] Elissa Bristol: of someone
[13:49] Elissa Bristol: that has all these cards?
[13:49] Elissa Bristol: for free stuff if they can’t reimburse them fairly?
[13:50] Popfuzz Bamboo: they are free gifts rom me use them as you will
[13:50] Elissa Bristol: thats ripping people off.
[13:50] Elissa Bristol: free gifts that even though I have 900L worth of “free” gifts theoricatically I can’t use them as free gifts?
[13:51] Popfuzz Bamboo: how is that ripping peopel off?

[13:53] Elissa Bristol: and your giving me a hard time…as you usually have.
[13:53] Elissa Bristol: the cards are designed to make people pay and think that they are getting a deal.
[13:53] Elissa Bristol: You know it and I know it.
[13:53] Popfuzz Bamboo: the cards are the most generous lucky chair gift in sl
[13:53] Popfuzz Bamboo: you can go and pick out anythign you want

[13:54] Elissa Bristol: I have almost 900L worth of cards
[13:54] Elissa Bristol: I dont want to use one card and pay 800L
[13:54] Elissa Bristol: thats greedy Ms. Popfuzz
[13:55] Elissa Bristol: but thats okay. I’ll just resell them.
[13:55] Elissa Bristol: And you won’t get anymore business from me nor Wilson
[13:55] Elissa Bristol: Check the forums.
[13:55] Popfuzz Bamboo: please give me the post when you post
[13:55] Elissa Bristol: lol how about no 
[13:55] Elissa Bristol: how about check for it yourself.
[13:56] Elissa Bristol: I asked you to simply combine my giftcards instead of ripping me off.
[13:56] Elissa Bristol: The last time I was there…Wilson and I paid for a 900l dress twice
[13:56] Elissa Bristol: So whats the big deal Ms. Popfuzz?
[13:56] Popfuzz Bamboo: and I refunded
[13:56] Elissa Bristol: Do you not think I have the money?
[13:56] Elissa Bristol: Good…and you offered us “anything else”
[13:56] Elissa Bristol: lemme pull up the log file.
[13:57] Elissa Bristol: I have free giftcards..what is your problem with taking 5 100L giftcards and sending me a 500 L giftcard…DOESN 100 x 5 equal 500?
[13:57] Elissa Bristol: Now who is the greedy one?
[13:58] Popfuzz Bamboo: it says by the chairs they cannot be combined otherwise I would be giving away everything in my store all day long
[13:58] Elissa Bristol: would you?
[13:58] Popfuzz Bamboo: yes I barely sell anything as it is
[13:58] Elissa Bristol: just because i have giftcards?
[13:58] Popfuzz Bamboo: because I give away so much
[13:58] Elissa Bristol: And what makes you think I won’t buy anything else from you
[13:58] Elissa Bristol: combine them now?
[13:58] Elissa Bristol: what about now?
[13:59] Elissa Bristol: Do you think I need to steal stuff from you?
[13:59] Elissa Bristol: I just gave you 6000 L
[13:59] Elissa Bristol: the right thing to do is refund the money.
[13:59] Popfuzz Bamboo: thank you that was very generous
[13:59] Elissa Bristol: And combine my giftcards
[13:59] Popfuzz Bamboo: i can combine the gift cards when you purchse additional cards
[13:59] Elissa Bristol: I have enough cards already…so your going to steal 6000L from me?
[14:00] Popfuzz Bamboo: how would I steal that
[14:00] Elissa Bristol: because it wasn’t a gift…it was proof that I could pay.
[14:00] Popfuzz Bamboo: i did nto ask for it
[14:00] Elissa Bristol: then refund me my money.
[14:01] Elissa Bristol: I will ask once. And better yet… I am going to file an abuse claim on you
[14:01] Elissa Bristol: for false advertising.
[14:01] Elissa Bristol is typing…
[14:01] Elissa Bristol: I have giftcards
[14:01] Popfuzz Bamboo: if you pay $900 in cash and $900 in gift cards I can give you a $1800 card
[14:01] Elissa Bristol: I will not purchase your large amount cards
[14:01] Elissa Bristol: when I already have enough gift cards
[14:02] Elissa Bristol: STOP RIPPING PEOPLE OFF!
[14:02] Elissa Bristol: I JUST PROVED TO YOU
[14:02] Elissa Bristol: I HAD THE FUCKING MONEY TO BUY ANYTHING YOU HAD!!!!!!!!!
[14:02] Elissa Bristol: now I am pissed off.
[14:02] Elissa Bristol: YOur always sooooooooooooooooooooooo sweet to my partner
[14:03] Elissa Bristol: But treat me like a skank
[14:03] Elissa Bristol: I have 10 times that money
[14:03] Elissa Bristol: plus about 300k on another name
[14:03] Elissa Bristol: but I shouldnt have to pay for stuff that are given out as
[14:03] Popfuzz Bamboo: so why do you hop lucky chairs?
[14:03] Elissa Bristol: FREE GIFTS
[14:03] Elissa Bristol: not until this morning when I got bored
[14:03] Elissa Bristol: Wilson actually gave me most of those
[14:04] Elissa Bristol: dear I own 4 times as much land as you do in Holo and Grimm…
[14:04] Elissa Bristol: I am not questioning money…
[14:04] Elissa Bristol: I am questioning your ethics
[14:04] Popfuzz Bamboo: but your acting like a begger
[14:04] Elissa Bristol: If someone has enough to combine and have a bigger card
[14:05] Elissa Bristol: you should oblige that….in fact…I imagine your going to steal my cards now
[14:05] Popfuzz Bamboo: heres yoru cards back
[14:05] Elissa Bristol: I dont think begger has anthing to do with ethics…now who is the greedy person?
[14:06] Elissa Bristol: how hard is it for you to click Inventory and send me the 900L giftcard I should have?
[14:06] Elissa Bristol: excuse me
[14:06] Elissa Bristol: 650
[14:07] Elissa Bristol: didnt answer my question did you?
[14:07] Popfuzz Bamboo: what question?
[14:07] Elissa Bristol: 675
[14:08] Elissa Bristol: how hard is it for you to combine the cards? take the ones I send you and send me one back so I can actually get what I want?
[14:08] Elissa Bristol: I already sent you 6000 L
[14:08] Elissa Bristol: to prove I could buy anything in your little warehouse
[14:08] Elissa Bristol: already have bought most of the stuff
[14:08] Elissa Bristol: so why can’t you cater to the needs of a return/return/return customer?
[14:09] Elissa Bristol: Who asked nicely in the very beginning
[14:09] Elissa Bristol: before you called me greedy and then don’t realize that you are the one that is greedy yourself?
[14:09] Popfuzz Bamboo: i do not combine free gift cards period theres know negotiating that
[14:09] Elissa Bristol: because your a greedy bitch.
[14:09] Elissa Bristol: and I will post that
[14:10] Popfuzz Bamboo: theres plenty of items you can choose for free or you can get nicer items at a discounted price
[14:11] Popfuzz Bamboo: the idea of the L$25 gift card, is to give to newbies, or anyone who came and won them on the lucky chair. So they got a nice new thing. Older citizens really aren’t interested in them, why are you? *grins*
[14:14] Elissa Bristol: nah….I want my giftcards combined.
[14:14] Elissa Bristol: Your greedy.
[14:14] Elissa Bristol: And the post is up
[14:14] Elissa Bristol: and I will add links to the log files of you calling me greedy in a few minutes
[14:14] Elissa Bristol: as soon as I set up the websites
[14:14] Elissa Bristol: and then when people see the screenshots of my giftcards
[14:14] Elissa Bristol: and realize THAT YOU ARE THE GREEDY one.
[14:14] Elissa Bristol:
[14:14] Elissa Bristol: *grins*
[14:15] Elissa Bristol: but…never mention your name…so its not a direct attack.
[14:15] Elissa Bristol: so therefore, no violation of LL policy
[14:17] Elissa Bristol: I want what is owed
[14:18] Elissa Bristol: Or maybe you don’t want a return customer
[14:19] Elissa Bristol: who has referred at least 4 peopel to shopping at your place
[14:21] Elissa Bristol: awww you muted me 
[14:21] Elissa Bristol: LOL
[14:22] Elissa Bristol: OooOOOo just got another 500L dress
[14:22] Elissa Bristol: begger…look up DLauria in Grimm and in Holo.
[14:22] Elissa Bristol is typing…
[14:24] Elissa Bristol: stupid greedy skank
[14:33] Elissa Bristol: You should make things right Ms. Popfuzz
*****
All I have to say to that is, wow. Just wow. SecondLife Forum thread found by clicking here.
Popfuzz, god luv ya, you kept it professional throughout when this wingnut continued to verbally abuse you. I find it shocking her sense of entitlement. Wow is right.
lol looks like Elissa thinks whoever swears the most wins. Just mute and ban her.
Looks like that shrew’s plan backfired; I’ve never shopped at your store before, but I certainly will now. You must have the patience of a saint to have put up with her for as long as you did.
OMG I would have flipped out on this psycho. They should feel lucky they got gift cards for gosh sakes. These are FREE why would you act like this to anyone handing out something free? This shows you are a great shop owner and I hope that person realizes how stupid they look as well as GREEDY!
Im so sorry to hear this happened to Popfuzz she is a lovely person who doesnt deserve it , but unfortunatly this happens to many every other day in SL i have at least a dozen notecards the same and worse
Im glad you posted this because for some reason Owners apparently arent entitled to make rules for their own stores as that has been the case thrown at me many times and is so not true and unfortunatly also hiding behind a monitor gives many balls they wouldnt have face to face .
She stated in her profile that she’s “about to graduate high school”. She might be 18, but with her attitude and immaturity, it’s hard to tell if she’s 12, 14, or 20 with a few years held back in school.
wow. just wooow. that is… wow.
i’ve had some psycho encounters myself, but… wow. no matter what the situation is or who is right or wrong, people should be able to act like people. thumbs up to popfuzz for keeping it cool!
You have more patience than I…I would tell her to hit Control + Q.
Jeez, some people just don’t get it. These people exist all over, but at least you can mute them in SL.
Keep up your good work! And yay, I found a great new blog!
Wow pop, this is exactly what I was having a fit about. Such ungrateful people out there…. I’m not quite as nice as you are, I don’t know how you do it. Nice job staying professional though, I tip my hat to you.
~Angel
I have had my own experience with this Elissa Bristol, as have others I’m acquainted with… all I can say is, some people are just not mentally equipped or mature enough to handle being in SL (or dealing with others in general)… and BTW, I have a couple of your gift cards and I can’t WAIT to use them!!
I saw the notice about not combining gift cards and you know what I said? “That’s smart, seeing as how she’s giving them away.” Some people just…don’t…get it…
I have been a recent victim of harrassment from Elise on SL, she is so incredibly hostile, she abuses people THEN threatens to abuse report them using her logs…she is really someone to avoid.
Funny….that I also sent Popfuzz 6000L to prove to her that I could buy anything in her store numerous times. Slandering someones name directly is a violation of SL TOS so this website link will be reported along with Popfuzz’s name. Whoever “Victim of Elise” is….learn to spell my name please. Anymore slanders of my name and I shall hire a rl lawyer to represent my claims against you in your respective states. I’m sure LL has not had to deal with those types of claims yet but a precedence must be set. Popfuzz, you are going to be reported by the 6 people I sent to view this website. It is direct slander against me…and considering the amount of time lapse between our conversation and now, you have had ample time to modify the log files to make them say as you wish. As for you Sera Lok, shall I make public your log file claiming to be a friend? Bandwagon backstabbers. As for shopowners, just like with my chairs. I am entitled to do what I wish with them…however, according to SL policy you are not entitled to slander me in world.
Babydoll, I saw the new chat logs. I suggest you calm down, or I might just post those too. You’re rude, and you might be kinda cute if you started taking some Ritalin to control those horrid convulsive spats you seem to have.
Is “Slander” a word you had to use in your homework this evening? Nobody’s slandering you in-world.
You’re doing a fine job of screwing yourself over all on your own.
Ugh. Elissa strikes again. You’d think, that with all the complaints and abuse reports against this creature, SL would have enough to ban her for a while…
/me wishes she hadnt given this girl the benefit of the doubt.
Dealt with her for several months and all I can say is…she has her nice moments, but for the most part you are right…she has quite a volitile and hostile personality and needs an attitude check. She has done a great job at pushing people away from her who have done nothing but try to help and be nice to her.
