I have been a blood donor for years, but I was totally turned off at my last experience. I was late for my appointment by 15 minutes because I couldn't find the location, then had gone to two wrong buildings because nothing was marked. I went in to finally check in and because I was late, I was turned away because the staff didn't want to stay late. I spent my time , gas, and effort to get there, how many times I waited 45 mins past my scheduled time and I didn't walk out.
