    Legal Advice What if I get fired because I take the bus to work?


    What if I get fired because I take the bus to work?

    Posted: 07 Jan 2022 04:25 PM PST

    I can't afford a car. I take the bus to work. My boss has had multiple "talks" with me about my proclivity for the bus. I've never been late because of the bus, I get to the bus stop at 7am, I get to work at 8:30am, I'm supposed to be at work by 9am. Can I get fired for taking the bus? What happens if I do get fired for taking the bus? Grand rapids, MI

    My former employer put a “restrictive endorsement” on my final paycheck. Is there anything I can do? [TN]

    Posted: 07 Jan 2022 03:00 PM PST

    I recently left my sales position with a local car dealership here in Tennessee on January 3rd. For the whole year I was working there, I had always received my paycheck via direct deposit. Today, January 7th, I was informed that I would need to come in and receive my paycheck in person. I thought that was a little odd and was a mild inconvenience but I said whatever and went and picked up my check. As a side note, this check does not actually represent my last paycheck as this was for the pay period ending on 01/02, and I had one last car sale on 01/03, my last day with the company (more on this later).

    After arriving home and opening my check, I see that there is an ink stamp over the usual "endorse here" portion on the back of the paycheck. The full text reads as follows:

    "The undersigned payee(s) accept(s) the amount of this payment as full and final settlement of all claims, whether known or unknown, which payee(s) claim(s) against 'employer', their affiliates, their agents, employees, successors and assigns, arising from all goods and services prior to the date shown. The release reserves all rights of 'employer' their affiliates, their agents, employees, successors and assigns, to pursue legal remedies, if any, against such payee(s). The undersigned further acknowledge(s) that (s)he (they) have (has) read herein and fully understands it's contents."

    Here is a picture of it for reference

    It should be mentioned that I have never shown intention to file a complaint against them and there isn't an ongoing case (as far as I know lol).

    I suppose my first question is, is this legal??Secondly, I have one last sale to be paid out on January 14th amounting to about $2,500. If I sign for this check, am I waiving my right to the next and final paycheck? The verbiage makes me think this is the case… Lastly, is there any recourse as far as showing that the stamp is not legally binding? I'm half tempted to just sign the portion above the stamp and claim I never signed their agreement but I really don't want to lose out on my next check.

    Any advice or info would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!!

    tldr: I quit my job and my employer placed a waiver and release of claims on my paycheck that I need to sign in order to cash the check.

    Niece been groomed by Grandma’s friend?

    Posted: 07 Jan 2022 05:53 PM PST

    I'm hoping someone can give us some advice and insight into this situation that all blew up this week. Apparently my niece (7F) has been sending texts to my mother's male friend, (Alan 64) who spends nearly every day at her house since my father died 3 years ago. He's always creeped me out so I wouldn't allow my kids near him, same with one of my sisters-in-law.

    However, my little brother works with this guy every day, then they all eat dinner with my mom, and so his son and daughter spend a lot of time with him after school and work.

    My niece, Amelia*, became very close to him for the last 3 years, almost seeing him as a surrogate grandpa. We all tried to quietly warn my brother about this guy but because they were "always together," my brother didn't see anything wrong with them being so close. The kids often went to the worksites with them even (private contractors).

    Until Monday. His wife found pictures on her daughter's Chromebook that should never be seen by a little girl, or sent by one either. These pics were back and forth between Amelia and Alan, and included pictures of her genitalia.

    Alan is now saying that he told his lawyer, my mom, and his best friend back in September that Amelia was sending him "unwanted" pictures, but didn't want to upset my brother and his wife?! He has threatened to ensure Amelia is put onto the sex register for sharing child porn, and to have her taken away from her parents due to what he calls neglect, saying they should've seen her ill behavior sooner and put a stop to it.

    Now, I know she's just a minor and can't be on the sex offenders registry, so this is an empty threat, I'm sure. But if he really did tell his lawyer months ago is he going to be able to wriggle out of this?? We can't see any pics on her chromebook directly from him, but she did send to him & she says he has shown her pics of other little kids. I've told my brother to call RAINN, as they've helped me after SA, but he is hellbent on revenge instead of justice, so now I've simply begged him to leave it to the police.

    We called them and FBI, but nobody has reached out to us yet in response. As a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, I am absolutely positive my niece is telling the truth. She knows details she would never have learned elsewhere. What else can we do, especially since it doesn't seem to be a priority for local law officials?? We're in IL.

    A ten to fifteen pound piece of metal (a snowplow “shoe”) flew through my windshield and nearly killed me yesterday. Is there any point in pursuing legal action?

    Posted: 07 Jan 2022 04:42 PM PST

    I was driving down the highway at 40 mph and a snowplow "shoe" (heavy steel disk with a rebar-like piece attached to it) slammed through my windshield - missing my chest and head by bouncing off of my steering wheel - and landing in the back floorboard of my car. The force bent my steering wheel 20 degree. It was as if a bomb went off in my car. I panicked but managed to drive a half a mile to pull off of the highway (I was on a bridge). Police/fire/paramedics came. No one knew what the object was that hit me (thanks to r/whatisthisthing we now know). I had small scratches and ate some glass. Otherwise, I avoided decapitation and wrecking. Photos are on my page. Is it worth looking into, legally? I am in WA state. I am traumatized and in shock.

    Now I have a $1k deductible. It could be worse. I am more concerned about the trauma, and the fact that someone's plow almost killed me/others.

    Can I expect or ask neighbor who must use my driveway to help with maintenance?

    Posted: 07 Jan 2022 06:55 PM PST

    My neighbor has ingress/egress rights on my very long gravel driveway, as his property is landlocked. He, his visitors and all his package delivery vehicles use the drive easily 6x more than I. One time while I was away, heavy snow felled limbs that blocked the drive, and he got upset I didn't move them so he could drive out—but I wasn't there. Can I request he help out physically or financially with grading, gravel, snow/tree removal? Or is it all up to me? Also, if we make a shared cost/help agreement, can I still have final word since it's my property?

    [Los Angeles/Las Vegas] My abuser is free and living a successful life with his wife and three kids.

    Posted: 07 Jan 2022 12:46 PM PST

    I am a 29 year old male based in Los Angeles, CA. When I was a boy from about the ages of 8-12 my mom worked an incredible amount of hours as a nurse because she was a single mother trying to to hold it down while me and my brother studied and stayed home alone. During our school vacations she would send us to our loving aunt in Las Vegas so that we could be taken care of and so that we could have some fun. My brother being older than me would sometimes not come with and it would just be me at my aunts house along with her two roommates. My abuser was one of the roommates. He was always around because he was a hands off business owner so he was always in and out of the house while my aunt and the other roommate had set schedules. My abuser was cool, young, and relatively well off so he would take me out to the Las Vegas strip cruising in his old school cherry red classic car and buy me toys and such. At first I was having the time of my life. Then the abuse began. The first time we were at some lake not far from Vegas, my aunt and the other roommate were at the shore while my abuser "taught" me how to float and swim. He had his hands down my shorts the entire time and asked me how it felt meanwhile he had an erection. My aunt only feet away, I was so scared. I was young but I knew what was happening was wrong but he told me that if I wanted to keep having fun and getting cool stuff I would be quiet about it. The only thing that kept me quiet was shame. There were many moments of stealth molestation when I visited, I think he got off on the idea that he was doing it while my family was near by. There were many incidents but the final one was the worst of all and what kept me silent all these years. I was alone in my aunts room while she and the other roommate were at work and my abuser came in and told me to come to his room, there was a camcorder pointed at the bed and I was instructed to lay down on the bed, I looked at the ceiling as he took my pants down and began to touch me and he began to take off his clothes. I couldn't believe what was happening to me, but in a moment of adrenaline and terror I yelled "NO!" and jumped off the bed and ran to my aunts room and locked the door. I was so scared and I began to cry. I don't know if a minute passed or an hour but he unlocked the door because of course it's his fucking house so he had a key and got on top of me with all his weight, I must have been ten or eleven. He proceeded to tell me he could do what he wanted with me whenever he wanted and that I was too weak to stop him. He told me that if I ever told anybody they would hate me and that it would ruin my life, I remember he took out his penis and told me to kiss it but I resisted and I was yelling for him to get off of me. A switch flipped and he got off of me and stormed out and left the house. That was the last time I ever saw my abuser, I was due home a couple of days later and never said a word to anybody about it. When my vacations rolled around again I was in middle school and involved in sports and other extra curriculars so I no longer had extended stays in Vegas and by the time I did stay to visit with my aunt again she had long since moved out with the other roommate, they were now married.

    My life has been a mess since those days came to and end. I am a college drop out, military failure, alcoholic, and formerly incarcarated. The only positive thing in my life is my beautiful family, I have a wife and two kids. I have never left my kids in daycare or with a babysitter because of fear. I feel shame and I feel weak for never stepping up and telling someone about this. This man still has his business, a beautiful home, and alarmingly he has children. My heart aches for them and the fact that there maybe more victims out there.

    What can I do? Did I wait too long? I need justice. Because if this man does not face consequences for his actions one day I am afraid I won't be able to bear it for long and things will go sideways for me and him. I am in a state of rage everyday over it. I am almost the same age he was when the abuse began and I can't get him out of my head. He must be exposed for what he did to me.

    EDIT: I contacted a law office in Las Vegas and was told I should file a police report first. Once a criminal investigation begins/concludes they will have more to work with as far as a civil suit. I am going to try. I may fail but at least I know I tried something.

    Highschool kid accused of assault on social media

    Posted: 07 Jan 2022 09:24 PM PST

    My son, 17M, had a girl over about 2.5 years ago (he was 14/15) while mom and dad were at work (without either set of parents knowing it was an empty house). Girl was over for 1-1.5 hours. As high school kids do, they did things.

    I found out it happened the next day by going through my sons phone and seeing their exchange on snapchat. They talked about meeting up, where, when, etc. Then I saw their text exchange after it happened, about how it was fun, they both enjoyed it and look forward to doing it again soon.

    I sat my son down and explained the issues of sneaking around, doing things like this, etc. I explicitly said that she could accuse him of sexual assault, as there was no one here to confirm or deny it. I got through to him and he understood. I took a screen recording of their entire snapchat conversation incase something ever did happen.

    Well, it happened. The girl recently made a social media post about what happened saying she was assaulted by him- this was seen by nearly everyone and was the talk of the school. I believe my son when he says everything was consensual, and per their snapchat conversations afterward - it seemed like there was no ill will between them.

    The school has called and told us about the public posting made against our son. They are meeting with the girl and her parents next week. If they deem, they will have a meeting with us and our son. Questions:

    - Is my screen recording of their conversations enough to exonerate him from being expelled or possible legal issues?

    - Is there any legal steps we can take to protect our son from the accuser?

    - What would be needed to prove defamation?

    Contract says no pets.Roommate in company provided housing has several pets. I'm allergic. Housing says they can't do anything. Now what?

    Posted: 07 Jan 2022 08:24 PM PST

    I just moved across country for an internship for 6 months. The company pays for and arranges housing for us with a local university off campus housing unit. I showed up and opened the door to an aggressive dog and several cats. No one else was home mind you. These are 6 bedroom apartment units. I have allergies to cats and dogs. The state of the place was also proof that they don't even properly take care of the animals. I immediately went back to the lease office and told them. The contract specifically states no pets.

    They told me there are no other units available so they can't move me. They said the girl with the pets is moving out "soon" and that for now there isn't much they can do. The girl is with the same company too. I have no idea who she is I don't know who any of the roommates are because they did not provide the information to me. So if the leasing office knew which girl this was that owned all of the animals then that means they have known about this for a while. The maintenance guy also told me "don't worry about the dog it's nice". So he's known too. I reached out to my recruiter at the company and she said that I can either accept that housing or find my own and pay for it myself. I find this incredibly ridiculous. Is there anything I can do? They have to provide me some kind of reasonable accommodation, especially given that no animals were to be allowed to begin with. They manager basically said they could give the girl some kind of notice about the pets but that's it. I'm also currently in a hotel for the night because the manager who was on the phone with the company recruiter said the "company would pay for me to stay the night at a hotel" but I didn't get that in writing from either of them so I don't know what to do.

    Employer “Lost” MY Tools

    Posted: 07 Jan 2022 07:41 PM PST

    ~Vancouver Canada

    Worked for my company for a year before covid. Closure turns to Lay Off. 3 Months turn to 6 then a year, 2 years now my stuff has been there. I have asked whether to bother picking it up earlier if they weren't going to have room for me fast enough. No. Emails start turning to "we don't know where your box is" (stand up tool box, loaded with everything I need as a fabricator and more along with dads tools dads dads tools and my personal stuff) I go in TODAY to see what's left and I get my boots and an old hoodie idgaf about…

    The employee walking me through says that it went missing a few months ago and "they figured I SOMEHOW got in and grabbed it". The fact he said somehow proves that he knows it would be impossible for me to get past security and load up tools and jet without some sort of documentation stating that would happen from someone in the company.

    Here's the thing. As I walk around I see MY OLD WELDING HELMET (I got for Xmas from my dad a few years back) on SOMEONES WELDER.

    Needless to say they picked over what was there and scraped what was left I'm sure.

    What do I do?

    My son threatened suicide, is an addict, and is in an abusive relationship. Considering seeking involuntary committment, guardianship, or an ultimatium (jail or rehab).

    Posted: 07 Jan 2022 04:03 PM PST

    Hello all,

    I hope I used the right flair for this post.

    My son "KJ" is 21 and lives in LA. I live in NC. KJ moved to LA two and a half years ago, and the last two years have been VERY turbulent.

    He is open about being an "escort" and we know he's a drug user. He claims he is not an addict and doesn't use hard drugs, but we know for sure that isn't true. He also appears to have a shopping addiction and perhaps sex addiction. We know he uses "party drugs", smokes heroin and meth, and takes Xanax and painkillers.

    We are also certain KJ has a mental disorder, likely bipolar disorder...or perhaps even a mental illness like Borderline Personality Disorder. We can't tell if the drug use is causing all of the turbulence, or if it is a combination of that and another disorder.

    My ex-husband and I have noticed impulsive, reckless behavior in KJ in the past and have been urging him to get help for two years. My ex even sent KJ money for online therapy, which KJ turned around and used to buy expensive clothing.

    A few days ago, KJ texted me out of the blue (he rarely talks to me and usually ignores my texts) and said "I'm gonna kill myself." He sent the same message to my daughter (his older sister who is 28) and to my ex-husband.

    I panicked and reached out to my ex, who said he was talking to "John", our son's partner. John is an ex-felon who was a gang member and spent 7 years in prison for setting a person on FIRE. He claims to be reformed and swears he loves KJ and would never hurt him. John told me that KJ has made suicide attempts in the past, but would not give me details.

    Both my ex-husband and my daughter have visited CA and met John and said he SEEMED nice but of course, that could be an act.

    I asked for John's number and text him and asked him to call me. He did, and we talked for 2.5 hours. He emphasized how much he loves my son and said he'd never hurt him, and said he thinks KJ threatened suicide because he has past trauma he hasn't dealt with (he has yet to open up to us about it, despite us asking...we aren't sure what this is about).

    Today, a good friend (I'll call him Scott) of his contacted my ex via his website and asked him to call him as soon as possible. My ex was working and my daughter said she really wanted to call Scott because she thought he'd open up to her more.

    She ended up talking to Scott for over an hour, and he has sent her a series of screenshots of texts and videos that are incredibly troubling.

    Scott says my son was troubled when they first met, but nothing like what is going on now. He said that since John came into KJ's life, things have taken a much worse turn. He said John is abusive and controlling, among other things.

    The night that my son said he was going to kill himself, it was because he and John had gotten into a nasty fight. My son called Scott and asked him to help. Scott picked him up and offered to pay him $2000 to NOT go back to John and offered to pay for rehab for him. My son said no, but did stay with Scott for one night. Scott offered to fly KJ back to VA (where my ex-husband lives) and KJ lied to him and told him that his father had already lined up a flight and rehab for him.

    Scott sent us videos of KJ and John fighting. In one of the videos, John admitted to slapping KJ. In the video, John is holding a container of bleach and is threatening to pour it over my son's belongings, which were all over the floor.

    Scott also sent us photos of KJ's swollen face after allegedly being hit by John. He also said KJ had bite marks on his back and bruises all over. He sent us screenshots of texts of KJ telling Scott all the things that John has been doing to him.

    Scott claims that John acts like a pimp. He said John doesn't have a job, and that their money comes from state assistance and my son's prostitution (in real life and online videos/interactions).

    Scott tried to get KJ to stay with him, but KJ insisted he needed to go home to get his things so he could fly to VA. Scott reached out to my ex-husband to see if that was true because he was so worried.

    Based on all the evidence, it appears that KJ and John are in a very dangerous relationship...drugs, prostitution, abuse, etc.

    I do not believe my son is of sound mind to make decisions for himself. We have repeatedly offered to fly him here, and to fly out there to get him and bring him home. He always says no.

    But the texts from Scott indicate that KJ DOES want help...he said things that indicate he knows he's in danger and his own behaviors are very dangerous.

    We believe we should, at this point, intervene in a serious way. We are considering flying out there this weekend to do an intevention, and possibly offer an ultimatum (come home with us and go to rehab, or we will call the police or seek involuntary committment).

    We would rather not get the police involved but will if we need to. Our son needs medical help, not jail. He currently has a clean record and we'd like to keep it that way if possible. We do know, however, that arrest/jail may end up being the only way to save him.

    Thank you for reading. We aren't sure which path is the best to take. Any ideas or resources would be greatly appreciated.

    [PA] would a dog be required to not be at a business after a dog bite?

    Posted: 07 Jan 2022 11:36 PM PST

    I was in the front yard with my dog when another dog from a business next door ran up to and attacked my dog. My dog made it away and ran to the deck and the other dog bit my leg. I managed to keep them separate after and the owner was about 2 min behind. I went to urgent care for the bite and took my dog to the vet. The owner of the other dog paid for my and my dog's medical expenses that day. I went back for a tetanus shot and the doctor told me they were required to report it. The other dog owner owns the business next door and keeps the dog leashed out to the side overlooking my front yard. I'm hoping we can just forget it happened and he won't keep his dog in view of my front yard.

    Would he be required to remove his dog from the property after one bite incident?

    How do I kick out my roommate who hasn't moved in yet

    Posted: 08 Jan 2022 01:47 AM PST

    Some background info, this all started back in September 2021, when I found out I was going to be losing my apartment. I had been living with my partner, and their mother (head of household) for about a year in this apartment, before some finical stuff came up and we realized we couldn't afford living together anymore.

    I tried applying for the apartment on my own lease, and was denied due to lack of credit/rental history.

    Originally, I bought a van, I was going to deck it out and me and my partner were going to live in that.

    In comes "Roommate", they live states away, literally across the country, but they had wanted to live with me and my partner for a while now as they were best friends with my partner. They offered to help us look for apartments that would take us, and when we found one, we'd make plans to get them cross country to live with us. At first we thought it would be a great idea, but I told them upfront I did not have the finances to support opening a new lease, which is why I had bought a van, they told me not to worry about it.

    When we found an apartment, they took out a loan, paid the deposit and the first months rent on their own using this loan, and all seemed well. I offered to help pay back the loan when/as I could.

    Fast forward to December 2021, when we originally planning to get them cross country. Plans fail several times, they have cats they're unwilling to part with, and furniture they don't want to leave behind, so we'd have to rent a truck (upwards of 2-3k) and drive cross country to get them on their terms. We decide to put the move off until March to save money, and to avoid winter weather while trying to move cross country.

    Almost immediately after coming to this decision, they shut off entirely from me and my partner. Every conversation I attempted to have with them ended in a fight. I was in between jobs because of the move and they constantly held that over my head for not bringing in enough money (even though I was upfront about my financial situation.) Me and my partner have also noticed a lot of other red flags from them, that I won't get into for sake of reading time.

    Long story short, we don't want them living with us anymore, but at this point they're on the lease, they've put over 5-7k into this apartment, and I'm completely unsure how to proceed.

    Would they have any legal recourse if I told them they aren't allowed to live with us anymore? I plan on paying them back over time, but I'm worried about this whole situation going south.

    This is in The United States Arizona to be exact. I submitted a two week notice at my current job almost two weeks ago. I missed one day today and they are claiming that I have to pay $50 per day that I miss for the next two weeks. They are demanding a pay them $700 and they are demanding my credit card information to pay for these fines and also rejecting my two week notice. Is this legal?

    Can your employee take your tips???

    Posted: 07 Jan 2022 11:13 PM PST

    Hi guys! I need help! So I'm a server in MD. My employer came up with a rule that says they're allowed to take 10% of our tips if we request off of work and have no one to cover our shift. 50% without notice (or telling them ahead of time if you're out of town or whatever) and no penalty if we have someone to cover our shift. It just doesn't make sense bc we're understaffed and literally only have 3 servers that work there. All of us work diff days so I know no one will cover my shift if I ask bc they don't work those days. And we're also in a pandemic and work shortage!!! Is this legal!??

    Student being rejected from school because she looks too big

    Posted: 07 Jan 2022 08:48 AM PST

    Hello all,

    So I have a question. My sister in law was rejected from a middle school in Houston, Tx because she appears to be "too big".

    So for the story. My mother in law had been in Mexico from 2016-2021. During that time my sister in law who I'll be referring to as Y, lived with her from 2016 to 2020. When she came back in 2020 we enrolled her in 8th grade in Humble, Tx, which they had no problems with. Where she was at in Mexico they didn't offer school during the first half of 2020 because of Covid. So when she came to Humble, she went into the second semester of 8th grade. She only stayed about 3 months and then she moved back to Mexico due to homesickness.

    Beginning of 2021 she moved back to Mexico, for reasons unknown to me she didn't go back to school. MILs green card was finally approved and her and Y came back to Houston in November of 2021. Due to housing and all kinds of other bs, Y is just now starting school again.

    She went to a middle school in southern Houston, her district, and they told her because of her age (14) she would need to enroll in high school. So they took her to the high school, and they told her that because she didn't have a full year of 8th grade completed she would need to go back to middle school first. They took her back to the middle school and this time they said they couldn't accept her because she looked "too old". (She's 14 and 5'7 maybe like 120 lbs.)

    So now we are having to look into different options. Was that legal? Can a school day no just because you don't look like an 8th grader?

    EDIT: Thank you all very much, this situation has been resolved finally. Basically it was just a big misunderstanding.

    Landlord trying to charge me $7455 in “late fees” [COLORADO]

    Posted: 07 Jan 2022 06:15 PM PST

    My ex-roomate/landlord is attempting to withhold my security deposit until I pay him $7455 in late fees. He's trying to charge me 10% of the rent for each day rent was paid after the 1st for the entirety of the past year I lived there. This is the only time he ever mentioned late fees, I just moved out at the end of December. I had asked him about my security deposit and this is what he's now telling me. He originally threatened me with collections, now he is telling me to lawyer up and says he plans on taking me to small claims court. I glanced over the Colorado tenant rights online and this seems highly illegal and immoral. Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

    UPDATE: So just realized this, the amount he's asking for in late fees is more than a years worth of rent (that's how long I lived there) which would be about $6600. He's asking me to pay him $7455. Absolutely insane.

    I quit my job and was supposed to receive my last check, but didn’t. Will they receive any repercussions?

    Posted: 07 Jan 2022 08:21 PM PST

    Hi! First post on Reddit, but I want to know some ins-and-outs. I was supposed to receive my check on Friday the 31st, but I didn't. I called that day, Saturday, the following Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Every time I asked for an update, the managers would tell me that they needed to contact payroll, or they needed to contact their boss, or some other excuse.

    Another thing; when I check my stub online, it says 0 hours worked. I worked overtime for that pay period.

    I'm in Washington state and as of today I've filed a complaint with the department of labor. As it has been a full week since I was supposed to be paid, what repercussions are my previous employers going to face? Nothing? Do I just have to wait to receive my last check? Should I take them to small claims court?

    Our neighbors drainage issue is now our drainage issue.

    Posted: 07 Jan 2022 11:52 AM PST

    A couple of our neighbors have attached pipes to their house that run through their yard and into the drainage ditch to empty their sump basin. Because of this, our poorly built ditch is filled with water and it's impossible for our neighbor to mow his side. He's the one that has to deal with the standing water issue. It's their responsibility to maintain it. Not the city's I might add.

    They decided to take care of it by hiring a landscaping company to dump a bunch of rocks basically, so they won't have to worry about it. Now the water is filling up on our side making it our problem now with standing water when It wasn't our problem to begin with. Is there anything we can do?

    bought a 500 dollar item on target using PayPal, target cancelled my order and gave me a gift card

    Posted: 07 Jan 2022 03:12 PM PST

    I bought a PS5 from target, i got a confirmation email and i was charged, later I received a notification saying that my order is ready for pick up, but in the afternoon around 5 my order was cancelled due to a technical issue, I was pissed but now it's worse, target didn't give me a refund, they gave me a 530 dollar gift card, i called target customer support and they say i have to wait 5-7 days for the refund department to accept my refund and give my money back, do you guys think they can deny my request? I'm so pissed cuz I don't want a 500 dollar gift card, I don't buy a lot of stuff from target.
