Monday I went into Value city to get a cheap bunkbed and a coupel dressers for the kids. I inquired about 2 mattresses as well. I agreed to purchase 1 bed, 1 bed board ( I have one) 3 6 drawer chests and a twin mattress. The guy tells me they have everything in stock. Before I paid he verified it and said it would have to wait til the 17th and tried to convince me to purchase another mattress I had mentioned. THe problem for delivery was the mattress so I had bith of them removed and was assured they would arrive wednesday morning. I paid CASH.
I came in on today (thursday) to pick up the items. The manager was back in the pickup area and was in a foul mood. I was trying to get the items by early next week but he was not willing to do anything so I went up front to get a refund. He told me the check would be mailed from the main office and I should have it in 3-4 weeks. By now I wasn't happy. I replied assertively so you are telling me you promise me an item in 2 days and when it isn't here on time and I want my money back to go get the stuff elsewhere that I have to wait 3-4 weeks. 5 people behind me were waiting to complete sales and just straight left. Several others stood and watched for a minute and eventually just left.
The manager told me if I wasn't ok with those terms he would call the police. I said fine call the police you are the one stealing from me. So I went out to my truck to get my phone and came in asking for the number to corporate or regional offices. The manager gave me his phone number and answered it in front of me. Then the police showed up. Officer Zimmerman was a seasoned officer, not old but he wasn't a rookie. He handled the situation ok and showed me the receipt that said the terms. I grunted and started walking towards the door. Told him I would take it up with corporate in the morning. I was 10 ft from the door when some fat stupid loudmouthed rookie cop with the desire to inflict his high school sorrows on the world walks in running his mouth. Officer Vently. He hollers to me from about 20 ft. So are you ready to leave like these nice people have been telling you to do. I replied boldly "I was never told to leave". At which point fatso says come here. I replied sarcastically "what are you going to arrest me and stuck my wrists out saying read me my rights"
He spun me around aggressively then cuffed me as tight as possible behind my back. Running his big fat trap the entire time yet never reading me my rights. Then throws me in the back seat of the cruiser with the seat back as far as possible for about 45 minutes. I have a herniated disk in my middle back and cannot sit in certain positions well. I started getting muscle spasms. I told him about my condition and asked him to let me stand. He refused and they got worse. They wrote me a BS ticket for public nuisance saying I cursed and threatened people. I will see them bastages in court.
Now I need to go to Union Township PD and file a formal complaint and tomorrow I'll deal with corporate value sh*tty.

The moral of the story is screw value city.
