Reading through this is like watching a train wreck, or buying a ticket to a freak show. You really should't look, but it is just so magnetizing.

So... Fastlaners... lets use this as a reminder of how NOT to handle adversity in business. The old adage that the customer is always right has some merit to it. Bend over backwards to help people, and you will avoid unnecessary and personal escalations like this.

This Is The Most Epic Brand Meltdown On Facebook Ever


And if you want to see it live, the show is continuing on Facebook.
