in a jiffy
oil change was interesting
as i sat in my car watching
a half dozen black-uniformed men
check and measure, open, fill and close
haul out air filters clogged with
dirt and debris needing to be changed
efficient, thorough and courteous
so good to be serviced by people
who know what they are doing
comin’ and goin’
they set it up that way
computer systems got me - automatic renewal without notice
hours of chasing how to opt out - clear directions, only i can’t
do it that way because i have a subscription and need to downgrade
only there is no downgrading until the subscription runs out only
it is on automatic renewal without notification because
they want to keep the nearly $300
but i want to keep it, too
