Microcenter how could you? Assholes!

So I was in my email and I found an ad from Microcenter.  Now I like Microcenter and I subscribed to their advertisements.

However I realized that they have several of my emails so I would go and delete one of them.

So I clicked on the Unsubscribe/Modify link in the email.

It takes me to a site that has my email address and zip code filled in and asks me to type in my email again for verification.

Why? I mean – you people already filled in the form. Clearly I got here from my own email.  So great – assholes making it hard for me to unsubscribe.

So I cut and paste the email and hit next.

Then I get a POP UP ALERT saying: To update your subscriptions you must provide your email address.

Hey assholes – I already did!

But I do it – I type it in again – two more times.

Now I am at a list of 10 newsletters with a checkbox next to one marked Subscribe.

So I check Unsubscibe and I get another POP UP ALERT that says:

“Can’t select both options – select either one”

Are you kidding me?  So I have to uncheck Subscribe and THEN check Unsunscribe?

It has to be on purpose because how can they be  smart enough to write a script but now know what a RADIO BUTTON is?

SO I carefully uncheck Subscribe and then check all do the Unsubscribe buttons when I get to this:

Please note: If you are unsubscribing from postal offers, enter the name and address information as it appears on the most recent advertisement you received.

That’s right- to opt out of their mailings you have to type in exactly what they send you.

Microcenter – you are grade A marketing assholes!

What should I have expected – their terms of service includes:

MICRO ELECTRONICS, INC. MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT:

  1. THIS SITE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS;
  2. THIS SITE AND YOUR EXPERIENCE COMMUNICATING WITH THIS SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES, ERRORS OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS; OR
