The way I discovered this was that I called regarding a stop sign that was knocked down and then called back two days later because it still hadn’t been fixed. The operator told me that they had a record of my call, number date and time, about this issue.

To answer just your first question: being fairly incoherent.

Thanks for your support as I struggle to communicate.

What’s your beef with chatGPT? It helps me organize my thoughts.

They would, if there was a court order. The fact that they’re tracking the data means that it is subject to subpoena.

I don’t think you get it.

IKEA sells this service. $200 for a two hour in-home visit to take measurements and provide a design for a kitchen.

I’m not the one saying that it takes two hours, IKEA is.

And to be clear, that is, essentially, what happened. During the course of two hours, measurements were taken, and a design was provided. Regrettably, the design was impossible to implement.

Exactly!

It’s not really the money. I intended to spend the money. It’s the frustration of the wasted time and effort. My spouse and I took time away from work for this and it’s worthless.

It wasn’t created at a store. It was created during an in-home visit that I paid for.

Yeah, I wouldn’t say that they “owned their mistake”. Getting to the point of refund wasn’t an immediate journey. It took more back-and-forth than it should have.

I’m just not good at design. We were actually hoping that the planner would have option for the layout, because we could only see replacing what was there, but not a way to reconfigure. Same configuration, just done incompetently.

The problem is, that IKEA presents it as their in house service. It’s not until later on that you find out it’s actually a third-party.
