I ordered some "bespoke" turkey jerky the other week (www.slantshackjerky.com, which unfortunately is down at the moment). So why not? Bespeak everything.

It is very obvious from all the responses that only one guy gets it.

... The crux of the problem is indeed Itamar's failure to communicate to his mother.

The arbitration is binding. We each signed cards to that effect. The difference between an arbitrator and the judge is that the arbitration cannot be appealed because no transcripts are taken. There is only one judge, but several arbitrators. If we had chosen the judge, we would not have been heard that night, and would have been required to return multiple times over several months. The decision will be mailed within a couple weeks. If I win and voluntary payment is not made, then the judgment gets enforced by the sheriff or a city marshal.

I would appreciate having Marcell respond. I, too, am interested to hear his side of this story - particularly with respect to the multiple reassurances about the refund.

I prefer champagne on my shoes rather than urine.

OP, I hope everything worked out. You showed composure in the fact that you listed events instead of resorting to personal attacks on people's character.

 

[srivats]

I too hope that you settle it amicably. Marcell is a talented shoemaker and I think that even with all this, maybe you are disappointed about the absent/misleading communication more than the delay itself.

You have good values, although the first oft leads to the latter.

Why didn't you just wait it out and even take a discount on it? It still makes no sense to me.

And why did you post all this without waiting until the judgement?

Probably because he feels that he doesn't need an arbitration decision to think he's in the right. No comment on whether that's the case given the, thus far, one-sided presentation of the story. Additionally, he could have been motivated by a desire to rant, or to spare someone else what he believes to be their common business practices. Just a couple of ideas...

Fwiw, I spoke w/ someone today who knows Itamar and Marcell, a shoemaker. This person said Itamar is a good guy, but too busy, often forgetful, and often delayed -- for months. I wonder if those test shoes that supposedly arrived in December sat on a shelf unnoticed, even while the emails went back and forth.

It would be interesting to hear the other side of the story. What has been reported about Itamar's statements is sad. But I certainly would have waited.

Also fwiw, I was just reading Hesse's Siddartha, and this thread reminds me of a line in it. When Siddartha is asked what he can do by the beautiful courtesan, Kamala, he replies, "I can think, I can wait, I can fast."

For extra points (which I never give), who can tell me what three things she tells him he needs if she is to teach him the pleasures of love?

Fine clothes, fine shoes and plenty of money in his purse?

^Winner!

^ You just reminded me of a dialogue between Kamaswami and Siddartha that is directly applicable to SF:

Kamaswami: How will you live if you are without possessions?

Siddartha: I have never even thought about it. I've been without them for 3 years and I never thought on what I should live.

Replace possessions with shoes/jackets/suits and you describe most member here before- and after joining SF.

I was going to go with

1) Cheap wine
2) Low standards
3) Pennicillin shot
