What would you do?

We still have a stove on our back porch that doesn't fit our kitchen.

Had a local carpenter look at it, and her estimate for fitting said stove in our kitchen is approximately half the cost of the stove.

Yes, this is getting out of hand, all because a salesman won't admit a mistake and the store itself isn't terribly interested in making things right with us.

Ah, the downside of "buying local" is becoming more clear every day. At least with a MegaStore, one could voice one's displeasure via an impersonal 800 line, write the CEO of the company, and beyond.

What can we do with these "Buy Local" bad boys? Call the Better Business Bureau? The Attorney General? Their mothers?

What?!

Thank goddess Linda has a seemingly endless array of crock pot recipes....something tells me we're going to need them.....

P.S.: If you want to know the name of the local store that's giving us the run-around, give me a call. I'd post it here, but my experience is that bad companies tend toward the touchy. And have lawyers on retainer....
