I have been a long time customer of Queen Bees Oil,One of their first, Having served on the same town committee with the owner,and even run for office during the same municipal election. I like to support local businesses..Especially Ones that look out for the little guy. I ran out of Oil,and called for delivery. I was told that they could deliver that day,but that they would not take my check. ???? They have always taken checks in the past..The woman answering the phone continued on to give me a long story about how the owner was sitting on a bunch of bad checks and was even burned by his very close friend,so now he will no longer accept personal checks. Now first of all Queen Bee...I am sitting in front of a space heater with a four year old child,Freezing. I really don't need to hear your story about how poorly run your business is,or about the owners personal drama.Second of all,As a customer who has never cheated you..nor have I ever written a bad check in my life,I find it grossly unfair that I am being punished for someone elses mistake. Lastly, We live in a technological age..Ever heard of check systems? E check ? It's just bad business to arbitrarily change your policies regarding method of payment without notifying your customers. That being said, you are not the only game in town.My money is green everywhere,and my business is being taken elsewhere.Seeing all the negative reviews on the internet..I'm apparently not the only one. By the way,your girls answering the phone are rude..and they talk too much.
