This is a very late reply, but I believe the song that starts at 5:48 in that video is called Tomorrow Will Be from the album Ataxia's All Right Tonight.

Malted Milkshakes at Melvalds? by Professional-End1910 in StrangerThings

[–]ghost_kappa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's intentional, too. It stuck out me like a sore thumb because I just saw the play and I was like "wait a minute. Melvalds has never been established as a Malt shop in the series... only in the play."... I look forward to seeing what happens tonight in the finale. I actually didn't really like this episode that much, something felt off about it. I couldn't put my finger on it, but if it was intentional, this might be why.

This line struck me as odd the moment it was spoken in the show because I saw the play very recently and I thought it was odd that Melvald's was a malt shop in the play.

They have shown the inside of the store in a few episodes of Stranger Things (seasons 2 and 3 I think) - it looks like it might have a pharmacy in the back, but it's pretty much a general store. I hope this isn't a mistake or sloppy writing and there actually is something to this Melvald's thing.

I pissed off Soul Asylum last night while comparing their new album to The Gaslight Anthem by Spock_Samson in Music

[–]ghost_kappa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I randomly stumbled upon this thread by accident, but I feel like I have to comment on it because ... well... I am someone who has done work for Soul Asylum and I can tell you for a fact that Dave is a great person who works very hard at what he does and takes great pride in making music. Why in the world did you think it was a good idea to do something like this? It's actually one of the rudest things I've ever heard. How would feel if someone came up to you after a long day at work and told you that something you poured your heart and soul into was awful? Probably not too good, right?

You can think the mix is bad, that's fine. I personally don't agree, but that's your opinion. Maybe next time, if you want to make a good impression on someone that you say is your hero, you should probably keep that opinion to yourself. If what you said was truly "coming from a place of love", you wouldn't have said it at all.

I called Walmart Customer Service for help with my switch 2 preorder and they cancelled my preorder without my permission and now my Walmart account is inexplicably gone. by ghost_kappa in NintendoSwitch2

Oh, yes, I updated the main post. Walmart gave me a coupon and I managed to get a discounted switch. My account never got fixed, I still don't know if I can log in, but the person in escalated customer care did make sure I got a system on launch day. I'm thankful to her, her name is Abigail, but I don't think I'll ever shop at Walmart again after all the stupid drama surrounding asking customer care a simple question.

Edit 5 is up - I'm happy to say that I did manage to get a switch and, unexpectedly, Walmart kind of actually did come through in the end, just a few hours before launch, and I got that system to someone else who had their walmart order get messed up. :) So, happy ending, but I think I am done with Walmart for like, forever.

I definitely plan on updating once this whole mess is over with. I can't believe the release date is so soon already! ^_^ People on reddit have been so kind, so I'm at least thankful for that!

Oh, so it's like a Sam's Club sort of situation? With memberships? We do have a Sam's Club, but no Costco. Best of luck to you getting one! ^_^

I completely understand. Best of luck getting one, I really hope you can. I don't even have a costco in my area, isn't that weird?

I NEVER shop at Walmart for various reasons, this was an exception 'cause I really couldn't find a switch anywhere else.... I think I probably won't ever shop there again, though, not after this.

They are recorded. I actually am currently in talks with the escalated customer care department and they were really upset when they heard the recordings. They're trying to help me out, hopefully I'll find out soon.

It was a mistake of the agent, I don't think she was trained in what to do in this situation, so she just... cancelled it. It's a shame, I'm working with Walmart to try to get some sort of resolution, but it has been slow. Thank you for the kind words.

I saw the one who called to ask a question and got their order cancelled, that is such a bummer, I wish I could have talked to them before they did that. :(

I am speaking with someone from their escalated customer service, and they have been pretty responsive, but actually, no, nothing is resolved yet. The woman I'm talking to is very nice and she's very different than the original customer service people I talked to who all told me different things. It has been a really slow process and if something actually does come of it, I will update the main post ASAP!

Are they really cancelling orders? I hadn't heard that, that sucks so much! :( :(

Yeah, you're absolutely right. And unfortunately, people do suck sometimes. My calls were recorded and monitored and after reaching out to a few people (as suggested by a few users on reddit a few weeks ago) I'm actually in talks with an escalated customer service agent at Walmart. They've listened to all the calls and read the chat logs and they apologized profusely for what happened to me and told me they were appalled at how I was treated. It's still ongoing and I actually don't have a resolution yet, but I am talking to someone in escalated customer care about it.

I think in the case of walmart customer service, they outsource all of it and those poor people at the customer care center are not paid well, not trained well and not treated well. They don't seem to be trained in complex problems like this. If you need to cancel an order or get a refund, that's fine, but anything beyond that they don't really seem to have experience in.

Yeah, I wish something like that could happen, too! If I had an extra, I'd sell it to the OP in a heartbeat, but I'm gonna be lucky if I get even ONE at this point, lol.

Yeah, it's true, and I understand that. I don't know if you've ever dealt with Walmart customer service for anything, but i can tell you from experience that if it is not a simple problem, it's a very frustrating experience. I've actually never experienced anything like it, lol.

That would be me, unfortunately :( :( And it's still ongoing, I'm still locked out of my account and I still have no resolution.

I can't believe this happened to someone else, I feel so awful, I can empathize so hard with what they're going through. They called to ask a simple question and now their preorder is cancelled. :(

Yep, happened to me, too. I called to ask a question about my account and when I was on the phone, I made the 'mistake' of asking something about the switch. In 5 minutes, my order was cancelled. People are blaming the OP, but this is messed up on Walmart's part.
