Over a year ago I was pressured into taking out a gym membership because my partner was not working and didn’t want to hear me exercise at home.
I didn’t mind that.
The gym was great, well equipped, the staff were friendly.
I got this job and I love my job but it means I’m hardly near the town where the gym is and they don’t have a branch of that chain in the city I work in so I tried to cancel my account.
I was directed to go online to cancel it but I couldn’t log onto the site.
I tried to change my password but the verification system went into a loop.
I wasted hours trying to get the thing cancelled.
I took to Facebook and whoever was manning the desk gave pretty awful sneaky reasons for getting more money out of me.
I cancelled the debit.
I will probably be pursued for more money for a gym I can’t use.
But you know what, I got paid today.
I worked hard and well in a job that improves lives.
It’s sadly a souring of a sweet day that good people like the people that work at that gym are being managed by incompetent boobs. That and Tom Baker isn’t well. I hope he gets well soon.
