Wow. I had the same experience as Michael P. I arrived a few minutes early for my appointment and there was no one at the desk to check me in. When someone finally checked me in they asked me to have a seat. Fine. Then, after sitting there for 15 minutes a man comes in to donate. The person attending states, hey there are two of you. Who didn't check in? The person who walked in 15 minutes after me says I didn't check in. The woman then said, ok I'll take you first to the late comer. Then I was the only person sitting there and I quietly left without having given my donation. I felt I didn't owe anyone that I should sit and be ignored. I've given blood many times and this was a poor experience. If I ever donate again I'd probably try another agency like Vitalant or some other. read more
