This is the truth. Of course the police report is riddled with lies. My then 86 year old father was witness to the events. The cashier of the Grants Pass OR store refused to allow us to purchase a 4" rigid polyurethane castor via rain check. He then contacted the manager who was at the back of the store via phone. During the conversation I was told to get out of line and the store manager would assist in locating the item. But I interjected and said I know where the item is kept as I purchased two of the exact same item in the prior two weeks, saw it was out of stock four days prior and again out of stock that day. I was told that the item would be at the floor level and I instantly corrected that by saying it would be about 3 feet off from the floor (actually 4 feet but not at the floor level). And so we got out of line and the store manager was looking at the floor level, obviously he didn't know where they were suppose to be as well as myself as I was attuned to it based on my earlier statement. I went to the shelving area and pointed out that there were none left. He got mad and decided to play a pernicious delaying game as he knew my dad and I were planning to get to another store. He'd act like he'd check "in the back" but I knew almost for certain the item would not be anywhere else in that type of store and for four days being out of stock there was ample time to replenish the stock had there been any. I gave him the benefit of the doubt anyway but he kept his game going on for way too long, frustrating both my dad and myself. So I told him I was going to report him. He told me he can't be reported! As if he's too big, as a store manager that he cannot be reported? Obviously I was going to do it to the corporate office and once I told him that, he yelled the single word, F**K! I then in professional wording told him no store manager can get away with that and said a few more things like it's not a good policy to do so and that's when he abused the 911 system by having an employee call 911 on account that his ego was hurt. I was doing nothing wrong by responding to his outrageous yelling of the most heinous word in the English language. Well, two cops showed up and I said immediately that the manager yelled the F word at me but that didn't alter his bunk thinking. He proceeded in a ridiculous accusations that I was on drugs and then on alcohol. Apparently the huge beard I had, in profiling me, he ran with his fanatical whims of who I am. And without being told of anything I did wrong, he said "OK, I had enough, you're being detained" and while he was still talking he grabbed me and put handcuffs on me. There was more physical abuse right after and then I was put into jail of all places! For telling a store manager that he shouldn't yell the F word at me, a customer! In jail, for over 15 hours, I was denied water, bedding, a blanket, medical attention for dehydration, and more. I discovered from the police report, the joke of one that I had to make an 8 page supplemental to it since it was riddled with lies, both form the police officer and the store manager. The store manager LIED to police which is unlawful, properly termed FALSE REPORT. I apprised the Harbor Freight Corporation of this but they do not care. There is corruption with the police, sheriff department, and those in charge of the city and county government here but that's another issue, one that I aim to expose and I saw plenty of it thus far in regards to this case.

How can anyone go to a Harbor Freight store when their employees are so horrible and the corporate office not only condoning but also supporting unlawful behavior? It's a scary proposition. I am boycotting it, and my parents are doing the same. They lost loyal customers.

I suggest everyone boycotts Harbor Freight until they make this right.

Tip for consumers:
BOYCOTT!

Products used:
We returned the two castors we purchased in July. I planned on constructing a composter with four of them for my father but being the company chooses to support unethical and unlawful activities by its employees I said I will not use any of their items.

After joining only a few days ago, seem most all the attention I got were from users who immediately closed their profile OR they were automatically generated profiles, performing some actions, then get automatically deleted. I know sometimes you will see age 50 women saying they are age 20 but when you see a bunch of age 20 women stating they are age 50, it points to a poor matching of (presumably) automatic generated profiles for revenue. It might very well be that all the "women" who made effort towards me were fake, computer generated profiles as I know what typically happens for me is zero emails on true sites unless been on for weeks (for a man this is not uncommon) and yet to have a hundred coming at me from the very minute of joining as a free member up until only a few days into it, this is not believable.

So many pop-up windows make it extra annoying.

Site is not normal, that's for sure. Definite scam site. Dating is tough in USA today and a few persons decided to capitalize on it and are doing what they can to try to get people to pay big money to become full members. Well, I'm not going to be fooled into that.

I JUST GOT TWO EMAILS from the Paranormal dating site. Amazingly BOTH THE SAME PHOTO! Different names, slightly different lifestyles, most notable difference is one of them has 0 children, the other 1 child, and have different professions. Note, doesn't look too Asian. Because of possible situation of posting photos of people, I grant this site permission to block out the face images, but I attest the images are of the same person, identical photos, not just different photos of the same person.

It's as if the site chose to create phony profiles to play me or to make me suffer with even more lag since prior. It's incredible to now be about five or six hundred rating points lower than my high and now far below the average player. I am guessing from my usual complaints in the game chats coinciding with some of the same wording of my original review that the site figured out I am the one who gave them the bad yet honest review here. I gave up completely. I wouldn't mind not seeing anything chess related for the rest of my life from this horrific experience. Avoid else you may endure psychological trauma!

Too many ads, too much lag, extremely frustrating!

Sure it's not like chess.com with idiot moderators and apparently equally idiotic owner. Note the "apparently". This site is not really social media with forums but the performance is just as bad if not worse!

So here I go, getting onto the site. Immediately I get 6 ads. Click on my profile, 5 more ads show up. I click on a game that I previously played to get into the play area because otherwise, if just trying to start a game from this point, it takes so long to load a game that often times the opponent aborts the game. And from this 7 more ads show up! Once a game starts, another ad appears, and then at the end of the game, another ad appears. I concentrate at the end of games but from so many times near the conclusion of the game, similarly with chess.com, time gets taken away and the game ends so I suspect another ad appears sooner than it should. The ads detected are from adblock.

I am in the top 5% of chess players but it's a struggle getting my rating up. I am able to manage sometimes but when so much of this muck occurs, I can lose three hundred rating points in no time. I give up on this absolutely crappy site!

You can view a single photo of a person, click then you are quickly sent to billing. Your email box will flood with messages such as

"mshottie wants to share her nude photos" - you click and you still can't view, you are brought to the payment page.

"msveryhot can't communicate with you" - and I'm wondering why she can't, doesn't she pay? What's wrong? So I click and I am brought to the payment page again.

Evidently men have to pay and women do not else both have to pay for communication. Considering the $10 for a single week, no way am I going to take a chance. They might get a few hundred thousand new members a year times $10 at least and where's the money going?

For the many single people who can't find a compatible mate, I find it reprehensible for so many sites to charge so much. Let it be free and have a strong suggestion of paying $500 if met the person of your dreams - well maybe for long-term dating sites, for this type of just quick sex (not what I want as I'd want to find one hopefully who'd stick around) I suppose some payment would be needed but i'd say let it be $5 for each person's personal contact information and can only be gotten after 10 emails. Sensible solution.

Just like for Russian/Ukranian dating sites where once you sign up you get a million emails INSTANTLY with a bunch of semi-clever wording, this site does the same. Look at the attached photo. Signed up just hours ago and look at the many "women" wanting me.

You are able to send a few messages and then you will be asked to pay. There's also the feature of seeing personal photos, lol, but while the profiles are fake, what's the point?

I caught these scam artists and so you do not have to bother wondering about finding your love outside of USA that sadly, is loaded with lots of tattooed, smoking, drug-using, have kids from high school days or several from different men, divorced, obese, spoiled women. You either have to be scum and women come to you or decent and women do not want you until after they did all their reckless dating. This last commentary is important as these dating sites prey on the men who do not play the sordid dating game as structured in USA.

Posted the company's dumb link and was "earning" $5 every now and then. Was looking at my account every day to sometimes a few days lapse at most. According to their site, if didn't log in for 30 days the money you earned would be lost. Once you get to $300 you could ask for a check. But here's the big joke: once you get up to or right at $300 and upon logging in you'd get the message "You are not authorized to access this page"!

I wrote the company with the email address shown clearly on the page, that being "*******@TheJobPayment.com" and instantly got the mailer-daemon message "Sorry, we were unable to deliver your message to the following address.<*******@TheJobPayment. Com>: 550: No Such User Here".

When down to the last 5-8 seconds on your clock and while waiting for your opponent to finish making their move, your clock will instantly go to zero. So much frustration dealing with this that I spent hours more than I wanted to play. Now 24 hours later and my head still hurts, my body aches, and probably have blood clots as a result of dealing with this malicious web site.
I've had to drink some alcohol, been putting a massager device on one of my legs and shortly after putting on my legs my heart was hurting badly and so put the massager all around my heart area.

This site is dangerous to your health!

When it first began, it was simple then gradually got more complicated, then forced videos on you and if you do not have or want shockwave on your pc you end up freezing lots of times. Just today it took over half an hour to upload a single photo and then after doing it I discovered the image wasn't appearing on a third party website. Then another discovery - I'd have to pay $400 per year to enable that. I understand the stock market is 4X overpriced and diligent investors who are compelled to short sell the big fat ugly bubble (in Trump's own words before he flip-flopped to destroy this country, see trump-fraud.blogspot.com) so that a FEW people are loaded with money on the backs of everyone else, but this $400 is way too high for most people to afford. I wouldn't even pay $10 per year for it.

Trust me - find another image hosting site. This one is going down.

I've seen plenty in the forums and could provide much explicit evidence as saved in text files. Reported numerous times to ic3 since it's so bad there.
