I detailed my experience with an out-of-factory-warranty refrigerator repair last month and posted it here.

TLDR: Use the Maine AG's office and submit an on-line complaint. That set the wheels in motion the very next day and my refrigerator was repaired free of charge within a few days. The repair would have cost $800 if I hadn't forced the issue through them.

The person I spoke with at the AG's office was friendly and genuinely interested in getting my problem solved. He even followed up a few weeks later to see if I'd reached a satisfactory resolution with the manufacturer.

Lol idk, might find that shoes just aren't covered under this warranty. Of course the company would have to straight out say that they don't expect their shoes to last 4 years. The warranty resets on the new item as well so if it did work you'd have shoes for the life of the company lol.

Not sure on that one, there's an argument to be made that a shitty pair of knock off converse at $20 from shoes 4 less shouldn't legitimately be expected to last 4 years so it wouldn't be covered whereas a pair of high quality workboots should. It kind of goes along with what the average person would expect for longevity, default is 4 years or more but some items just aren't built with that in mind. To me it depends how much I paid, how much I'm willing to go to bat for it etc.

I don't support their views but they sure have a lot of people employed there... at bout $12 a meal it's pretty decent. I can't eat mcdonalds level of garbage and small scale local places all end up being like $20 for lunch these days. Had a bloody salad the other day for the same price as CFA and was still hungry.

"Homophobe bird" is a fancy term for Chick-Fil-A. A lot of people support it, and as an aroace person, it irks me. Even moreso when the food isn't really all what it's cracked up to be.

I've seen a lot of stupidity on this subreddit...guess I jumped the gun with you. My apologies, and thank you for deleting your comments.

Need to try this with my Fi collar. One month outside of the companies warranty period and the collar literally FALLS OFF (its a gps tracking collar) and regularly goes “off network”. They told me they could sell me their newest version when i complained about the collar falling off which literally defeats the purpose. Yea no I’m not spending another $200 for that shit

I don't hate, I appreciate (Popeyes). Tastes better, less guilt. I agree that it is tough to avoid ALL companies that don't share my value system, but I do my best. I also don't expect everyone to agree with me. It's not the Maine way.
