Boycott this Chevron!

Well, after sending a letter to the corporate parent of the over-priced and beggar infested Chevron station on Telegraph and Grand and getting no satisfaction (and this after seeing two guys tag team the customers just this evening), it's time to boycott!

Let the owner(s) of this station that charges between 25 and 30 cents MORE than the station across the street and lets its customers be harrassed by aggressive beggars know that this is unacceptable!!

Here's the reply I received from Chevron's Consumer Affairs dept.

Dear Mr. Curtains,

We would like to follow-up with you regarding to the complaint that you filed with the Consumer Connection Center on August 8, 2006. As you recall we mentioned at that time that we would contact the retailer, CHONG & MYUNG, INC., and ask for a response from the station within 14 business days. As of September 6, 2006 we have not received a response from the station.

As of today’s date we have not received a response from the station.

The role of the Consumer Connection Center is to resolve customer problems with company owned stations when we are able, to act as a mediator between the customer and a Chevron retailer or marketer, and to facilitate a reimbursement when warranted. Many times a dispute can be resolved to the satisfaction of both the customer and the dealer. Unfortunately, other times like this one we have not been able to gather any information from the station owner to assist us in resolving this dispute.

For further questions please contact the statio owner:

Burger Pig

It's time to play catch up here at Chauvi's!

Wow, what a Center of Pestilence this place has become! We're talking about the "1/4 lb. Giant Burgers" joint on Telegraph and 22nd St. in downtown Oakland.

Much of this blighted neighborhood's garbage can be traced back to this shit pit. If you walk down Telegraph near Grand, be careful not to step on the trail of Ketchup packets that form smeary red land mines throughout the neighborhood. Strewn trash from all around the neighborhood emenates from here as late night zombies get their grease fix then spew their trash on the ground, the bus stop and anywhere but the many garbage containers that the City of Oakland has set up in vain hope of giving the nimrods a place to toss thier trash.

If you walk by (remember - don't step on a ketcup packet), be in store for a treat as the cook's smoke inside while they make burgers!

~Bon Appétit!
