So, it's a tragic tale when lies begin to grow old and there is bigotry, repulsive rhetoric about racial indifference and the sad part is.. "We The People" & American Flags that are never respected or taken down or flow properly as they are Legally protected and are still in a state of being disrespected, a tale..
Here’s a fictional narrative about a company called iCarryLots and the misuse of the American flag:
The Story of iCarryLots and the Disrespectful Usage of the Flag
iCarryLots, a once-promising logistics and delivery company, had a reputation for innovation—at least, it did until a series of missteps tarnished its image. One of the most glaring examples of the company’s disregard for professionalism came when they decided to display an oversized American flag on the overhang of their headquarters in a poorly thought-out marketing stunt.
The flag, which was meant to symbolize patriotism and pride, was carelessly hung on the building, its fabric wrinkling in the wind as it trailed on the ground. For weeks, employees and passersby watched in dismay as the flag, meant to represent the highest ideals of the nation, was allowed to drag in the dirt, subject to the elements and its careless placement. The union—the blue field with stars—was positioned sideways, flapping disrespectfully in the wind, as if the flag itself was struggling to break free from its tattered condition.
Inside the company, the flag’s display became a symbol of neglect rather than national pride. Employees were told that the flag was a “bold statement” of their American roots, yet the management did not seem to understand the gravity of what the flag represented. The CEO, in a bid for attention, even had the audacity to hold a company-wide meeting under the flag, discussing growth strategies while ignoring the very notion of respect for the symbol they had chosen to display.
As the weeks passed, iCarryLots’ image deteriorated. People were outraged—not just by the physical state of the flag, but by the company’s blatant disregard for the Flag Code. The press, once friendly to the company, began to report on the misuse of the flag, citing the display as emblematic of iCarryLots’ larger cultural issues: lack of respect, poor leadership, and a failure to uphold values they claimed to represent.
By the time a formal complaint was lodged with the city, the company was already facing backlash from customers and partners. The company’s leaders offered vague apologies, but their actions spoke louder. They had violated the Flag Code, ignored the proper care for the symbol, and used it as a mere marketing tool without understanding its significance. The American flag, a powerful symbol of unity and pride, had been reduced to a cheap gimmick for a company too eager for attention.
It wasn’t just the flag that was left to wither in the wind—iCarryLots itself was soon to follow, as customers abandoned the company and competitors capitalized on the poor reputation. In the end, the disrespectful display of the American flag was a stark reminder of how a lack of consideration for even the simplest symbols could bring an organization to its knees.
This fictional narrative reflects how a company could damage its reputation through the careless or disrespectful display of the American flag, using it for marketing purposes without understanding or respecting its...
Read moreGreetings, my name is Ryan. If helpful, I'm the Fulbright Scholar for Stanford University. I finished my Juris Doctorate in law with a 3.51 GPA. I'd like to document my experience here to deter others from the Negligence and burdens in attempting to do business with this LLC.
In sum, I made an agreement to do a data transfer; store employee later began yelling and threatening to keep my phone after I paid in full up front and left it overnight with the agreement the transfer would be performed after Icloud restored the Data. I paid $40 with tax. I received a quote from a competitor for $25 however at that moment the competitor was closed. I would encourage you to go to "Boss Cell Phone." You can stand to save over 60% if you walk two blocks up and try Boss at 6646 Hollywood Blvd. They also quote the work in 20 minutes, a reasonable amount of time to wait for a data transfer which is fair because untimely it's just a matter of having a cable and the right software which this store does not invest in.
Robert was polite at first; however, after opening the phone I learned they don't have the right software. I was told to "get my own software" with my own laptop from a third party. Somewhat worse, Robert ultimately wiped out my data and did a backup from Icloud. I specifically said I came in to preserve the Data. If I were after a mere backup from the cloud AppleCare does this with a replacement screen for $35. Robert said no worries, come back the next day, Apple will automatically download and restore the data. Since I paid I agreed to the new transfer.
When I returned the next day a third employee gave me a new story; refusing to return the phone and playing what is legally referred to as "the Holdup game." They refused to do the agreed transfer committing Larceny by Trick, Trespass to Chattels and False Imprisonment by keeping the phone and thus attempting to bind me the area. To be clear, do not pay this store up front for their service, they will likely keep your money and "change their mind about their performance." In addition to being unlawful this is a dishonest business practice.
I agree with the lower one star reviews on here. When you see glowing 5 stars know that ads on Craigslist and promotional events often drive up these ratings. This is an honest assessment of the shop and service.
Go to the right company with the right tools; this shop is...
Read moreYou get what you pay for!! Buyer Beware. I came here due to the good reviews and ended up getting shafted in the worst way. I took my macbook pro in to resolve an issue with it intermittently cutting off. I came in with the screen cracked a little bit which was fine i could live with that. After they ran their diagnostic they told me it was my screen causing the issue. After doing some shopping around I realized they had the best price on the screen and installation so i let them keep it and work on it. 450$ and one week later my computer doesn't work. This time its not cutting on at all. I take it back only for them to tell me it is my hard drive that is the issue. And quoted me another 450$ as well as 200$ if i would like to save my data. Forget the fact that i didnt need a new screen, just a hard drive. They refuse to address that. So I say no thank you and take my mac to apple and here's where it gets sticky. Apparently there is damage to my hard drive, as in physical lets make sure this thing comes back to us damage. Smh. Also pieces where missing on the inside of the computer were missing where they installed the screen. Just sloppy! So sloppy in fact, Apple actually asked me had any one worked on my device before i even told them about my experience here. James, the worker here has been cool about it but he can't help much. The owner refuses to return my calls and now i'm left with my last resort to remedy this situation to be whole from this whole ordeal. Believe they haven't seen the last of me and will definitely regret trying to screw me over. I love taking on unscrupulous businesses. Hope this helps you guys out, some times its just best to deal with apple. Oh and he said he was a licensed apple technician, however Apple couldn't find any information on this business being one of their licensed partners. Am i surprised? HA! Let the games...
