A bracelet adjustment at an AD should be free of charge. $45 is ridiculous.
Go to an AD, they'll do it for you right there and it will cost you nothing. |

I think I would go in there and ask them again how much they'd charge me to adjust my bracelet just so I could have the satisfaction of telling them to their faces that they're out of their minds and I will never do business with them again simply because they want to rape me on something so ridiculously simple and quick as making a bracelet adjustment. As much as I can't stand my AD, they will do bracelet adjustments free of charge, and give a cappuccino to the customer while he/she waits. |
