Sixty-eight cents, for three-sixteenths of steel, A relic small, as if the past were sweet, Like candy once sold by merchants who'd deal In simpler wares, before our age's deceit. Yet in the lot, where trucks hummed low and gray, A man in blue, his chest a logoed sea, Spoke of unions, prices, the Fed's great sway, And crypto bills that bind what once was free. He pressed in hand a list of podcasts, links, Modern tracts, like those the prophets made; And in my mind the sacred scroll now blinks-- Revelations, and Jesus, whip displayed. The temple's tables, overturned with wrath, The dollar's ghost, the "greenback's" fragile path. And yet, I left with only what I sought: A bolt, not soda, though the thirst was strong. For in such errands, oddly, I am taught That even common days to verse belong.

Im a plumbing contractor who had charge account with holt supply from 2001-2010, and bought…read more$100,000s of plumbing merchandise from them on arcadia st bloomington il. They were a total disaster to deal with and purposely sabotaged my account. 1. Overcharged me on all materials bought! 2. Couldnt give a competitive bid for trim out material due to wrong multiplier-delta 3. Wouldnt give credit invoices when material was returned due to them purposely messing up orders. 4. Overcharged my account by over $10,000 in a three year period, doubling and adding invoice numbers and charges that didnt exist. 5. Called my employees telling them if he ordered all material from them , while working for me, he could get cheaper material on his account. I was being charged more for material than my employee! And then he was ordering material from holt, and getting material cheaper than me. He is the one that told me they had my prices the same as joe blow off the street who wasnt a contractor! This all didnt happen by accident, owner is a greedy douchewad millionaire who wanted to do nothing but rip me off!

They installed leather granite in our kitchen four years ago. The granite seam was coming apart so…read morewe contacted Dan and he agreed to come to fix. A few reschedules because he was so "busy", we got a time for early Saturday and waited. And waited. We live in the country and saw a white truck drive by and then drive by again. No Dan. Text him again and received a curt text back indicating that he had stopped by our house, rang the doorbell and waited a minute, then left and was very aggravated with us. Was not our house and blamed US for messing up his day. My husband was always professional in his text to him, always polite about his not showing up when he said he would, and never getting upset OR feeling he was "special" (what does that mean, anyway?). Here is Dan's final text to us after my husband said we no longer wanted his service: " We have 1000's of clients every year since 1893. I am sorry that you are offended that I did not remember how special you are. I did assume, so that is my bad. Never claimed to be perfect. So, if you want to be a dick, we can certainly part ways. If you want to be reasonable I can reschedule. Either way is fine with me. I will assume the first, unless I hear from you. Good luck." Very unprofessional, and apparently because he's had thousands of clients, it does not matter to him what kind of language he uses on past clients, so future clients beware.
