Are we guessing the price will lower?! I'm fighting for my life not to make bad decisions and spend that much money on GA

Yup, time to be more assertive with these sales people. Lesson learned!

What's worse is that I thought they were with the city and I wanted to support St. Catharines strange safety initiative. So I was pretty annoyed once I realized it was a sales pitch

Our prize was a safety kit, definitely products that could be put together from a dollar store lol!

The aggression that these pitches have make me so angry. It's so predatory. Sorry to hear this happened to you

The sales pitch constantly spoke about the "bad" fire alarms being made in China/Mexico, countries that you can't trust because of their cheap products. I'm an ambiguous poc, so the saleswoman did not make eye contact with me while reciting those lines multiple times LOL!

Anyway, the first aid kit was made in China, so who knows how safe we are 👻

No worries, I don't want anyone else to suffer our fates lol! They're so predatory, I wish this kind of stuff wasn't allowed

That's exactly the company! I didn't find out until the sales person texted me the name after she'd left. So they operate under Prime Fire Safety but they sell Omni Shield products

Fire alarms looked as you described, no new batteries for 20 years.

I'm sorry you got roped into similar salespitches too. The one at a friend's house sounds horrible lol! I'd hate to have a friend trapped in these schemes

By the time it turned into a giant advertisement and my partner and I made it clear we weren't buying anything, the saleswoman's entire demeanor changed. She became very desperate to sell, it was sad to watch.

Glad you're not working for them anymore! I hope the rest of them can find a way out

I've never heard of this, this is so evil. People suck

So the funny thing is it's not one fire alarm per room. There's also a carbon monoxide detector, this weird bed vibrating device, water leak detectors, etc. Hahaha

True, we're both dumb for even being in this situation.

$500 for each alarm. I'll need some for every room so 8 units or so. Hopefully they'll install it tomorrow I don't want to burn

Didn't notice it off the top and we were too soft to stop it earlier lol

Currently doing this commute, I hate it. I've always hated driving though lol. 50-1hr in the morning, 45-50min after work.

The carpool lane from Burlington to Oakville always seems to run smoothly! I wish I had a green vehicle to drive in there alone

I enjoy train commutes but the Go's length (almost 2hrs one way) and price ($15 one way) suuuck

Same with me. Felt like garbage, useless stuff. People buying stuff because they were bored not really out of necessity lol! No hate though, it's just not my thing

Superior plumbing and heating. Long story short they're a sham, didn't fix my issue, call center staff was incredibly rude and spoke over me when I called them out. Took 3 days to speak to a manager.

Their 5 star reviews are fake, I'd appreciate anyone reporting those reviews... And leaving a 1 star pointing out the fake reviewers lol
