Attention to detail?

I couldn't see this from the angle of the camera this morning. The morons Shaw from ran black cable along the wall, drilled an utterly sloppy hole, not through a wall, but through the crown molding above the living room door and set a hideous external box on the wall. It is an abysmal job. It looks like crap. The cable isn't even taught. The temporary cable I ran from the old box to the T.V. is done better. Not only that they left an empty doughnut box and a bunch of empty paper coffee cups in the hall. I'm furious. These guys are going to get an earfull from me tomorrow.

Maybe they were trying to compliment all the other accessories in your apt and decided to use a black cable!

That's the biggest problem I have with shaw. They do a shitty job. Rogers used to pay by the hour, so they would (usually) do a half decent job, but shaw pays per call you do, so people end up getting crappy service done, and redone, and redone and....

I mean, it took 3 visits from shaw guys to get the cable hooked up here because the cable was cut on the outside of the house. No ladders. No extra cable needed. Just a little piece of metal to connect the two pieces.

I'm still pissed off at that. I was without cable for almost 3 weeks because no one would take the extra minute and a half to do anything other than look at the cable, make sure I plugged it in to the TV properly and to make sure the previous guy turned it on.
cable guy #1: "I dunno whats wrong. I'll have to get a ___ here"
...a week later...
cable guy #2: "I'm not sure whats wrong. I'll call the office to get a _____ here"
...a week and a half later...
cable guy #3: "I don't kn.."
Me: "NO. Your not calling the fucking office. Your going to look at this because you are the THIRD guy I've had here, doing the exact same thing. Look harder."
cable guy #3: "uh. okay"
