I WISH THERE WERE MORE STARS TO GIVE!…read more To those of you that know what Real Change is, keep giving! To those that don't follow me here... For me, Real Change is the ONE way I can give to the homeless and really and truly feel like I'm doing the right thing. Real Change vendors are people on the cusp. People deciding to make the first difficult steps to getting back on track. Real Change is a good thing in a bad world, and I really want you to understand why. Real Change vendors actually have to buy the copies that they sell on the street and Real Change allows them to keep the profit! Vendors have to agree to a code of conduct at work, just like the rest of us that says, among other things, that they can't be intoxicated while working or they will loose their vendor rights. When I look at a Real Change worker, I don't see a homeless person, I see a employed person. ONLY BUY FROM AUTHORIZED SELLERS. You can tell this by looking for their Real Change Identification Badge. I only give to Real Change vendors anymore, and I give as much as I can afford! When they say "Thank You", I really mean it when I say "It's my pleasure". I wish there were more programs like this. I wish we had passed the legislation for a homeless center at South Lake Union. Just a place where people can take a shower, pick up some clothes, and use a computer... is that so much to ask? Vote.

It is obviously just a way to get these categories advertising, which is a sellout. In addition, the editors seam to be bias to advertisers which taints the validity. A city magazine should be about city lifestyle and reflect the local flavor of the area. It should appeal to tourists and residents alike. Tell us what's interesting, worth trying, what happening and basically fabulous about the Seattle area regardless of whether or not they choose to give you their advertising dollars. Do that and the advertisers will choose to be there.

It's not as if we have a shortage or radio-experienced progressives - Goldy, Dan Savage, Erin Hart... I CAN'T STAND STEPHANIE MILLER. And Malloy, for that matter. Air America made a huge mistake when it canned Morning Sedition and Sam Seder. KPTK could really establish itself - locally and nationally - if it courted and syndicated a morning show of Maron vs. Seder vs. Goldy. This would require spending some money, though, for something other than bumper stickers and sign-wavers - KPTK doesn't strike me as that kind of operation.

SO, I'm bumping them up for doing the right thing ans sticking by their products. Excellent Radio line-up, but I'm still staying away from the 1/2 off promotions!. --------------------------------------------------- THIS IS A GREAT AM AND LATE NIGHT PROGRESSIVE TALK LINEUP. The shows deserve 3-5 stars. Steph is wonderful, Thom is brilliant, and Mike Malloy the the soul that screams the rage I feel every night. I will agree that they need a local show, however.... THE SEATTLE HALF OFF IS A TOTAL F--KING SCAM. DON'T BUY IT!. To date I have seen several restaurants featured in the Seattle half Off decide that they no longer accept the certificates for various reasons. One mentioned that they were scammed by the promotion. Another told me that due to a change in management they didn't want to honor the certificates. I've lost more money on this SCAM than I hoped to save. I'll continue to listen [or pod cast], I'll even encourage people to listen and support the advertisers, BUT I WILL MAKE SURE I TELL EVERYONE TO AVOID MEDIAWEBCONNECT AND SEATTLE HALF OFF.

They want to tell how great they are at everything that they do and they make a point of telling you that they can do everything! I would say that they are very full of themselves. Full of themselves to the point of when they made a mistake on an airbrush piece, when made aware of it they said "Oh, sorry about that." No offer to correct the mistake or to offer a credit. They were also very very pushy about getting payment and they seemed to "nickel and dime" at the time of billing. It was not a large amount of money but it was very annoying. Lastly, they are very religious. While I personally do not have a problem a persons beliefs, when ones beliefs are continually brought into a professional environment, I am offended. Overall opinion: Pros creative, attractive product Cons lack professional skills If they were as good as they tell you that they are they would be awesome.

In terms of a radio station, it's awesome that they are playing eclectic music on FM. There is a wide array of content, from all walks of life. The owner is awesome, and should be commended for his efforts and making this place a reality. In terms of a volunteer organization, it absolutely fails. I volunteered there for several years, and found it to be very cliquey. Aside from one or two people, volunteers with more seniority make zero attempt to make you feel welcome, resulting in a high turnover of enthusiastic new members who stop coming after a few times. No one introduces themselves. Countless times I'd walk in to the station to be un-greeted, and looked over with apathy and indifference. It was so palpable at times, that it killed my enthusiasm and made me leave. Most of the contact between volunteers is done through email and Slack, a cloud-based collaboration tool. All of the regulars are quick to respond to one another, pat themselves on the back, and quick to tell you when you're doing something wrong, but if you have a question, they literally never, ever get back to you, unless they need something from you. That's the reason new people don't stick around, and that's the reason I left. Actual face-to-face meetings felt like a cool kids table. If you are a self-motivated, DIY kinda person who wants to have a radio show, you are certainly given the tools to get you there. If you want to feel like you a part of a community, you are ranked based on age, melanin, and genitalia. There's a lot of younger volunteers who pollute the meetings seeming to care nothing about music, professionalism, egalitarianism, and instead want to wear a provocative t-shirt and push their political agendas and SJW ideologies. Literally, the biggest safe space banner you will ever see hangs on the wall as a constant reminder that you're only welcome in this spot, if you fit the criteria. People went out of their way to make me feel unwelcome. A few times I was working in the station during a new member orientation, listening to the organizer with ill-fitted attire and a water bottle with an Antifa sticker say "like" every other word, and repeatedly making it clear that they don't want "bands with like, all white guys, like, playing shows here". No one is there to reprimand this unprofessional behavior, resulting in less than 1/10 of the new volunteers each meeting sticking around more than a few weeks. I suppose in defense of H.E.R., you're only as good as your volunteer base. I hope some fresh faces with outgoing personalities really clean up the place, but you'll, like, have the cards, like, stacked against you.

Refusal to honor their price match guarantee. I placed an order through their website after the…read moreprice was listed at 1799 originally, few days later went up by 400 dollars. I found MULTIPLE websites that list it for 350 less. They have a "LOWEST PRICE GUARANTEE" tab on their main website. https://jetcitylabel.com/pages/lowest-price-guarantee I called, filled out the necessary online form, called them back immediately after ordering the item to either match the MULTIPLE OTHER sites that meet their lowest price guarantee criteria and they refused. I told them I want to cancel, they said okay I will cancel. I recently hear back from them saying that it must've shipped already. That is literally impossible with the timetable I did this all in. They refuse to cancel my order and are telling me, now i have to pay for the printer, refuse delivery, and then that is how they will give me my return. In other words, BAD BUSINESS, their price match guarantee is completely false, and when I asked if i can call the people who would send it to me, they also REFUSED to give me that number. They would rather send an email and spend the money of a customer that is asking for them to honor their False Advertisement, which is illegal mind you. Either the workers of this company are lazy and don't want to do their job by doing their jobs, or they are just horrible business men and women. I deal with a multitude of companies on a day to day basis for the past 15 years and in my last 15 years of working with anybody, I have never come across such rude people before who refuse to do their jobs. What excuse can you make? I would love to see your reply. Because I am calling my credit card company to dispute the charge and doing everything I can to make your lives miserable the way you have made mine today. If I could give negative stars I would. The owner of this company should be embarrassed for the quality of people they have hired, unless I spoke to them and in that case, I have no words. I will report to BBB as well.
