Just Plain Mark, why haven't you taken ENOUGH of my money?!
This is related to my original post which Just Plain Mark made a very helpful reply to. It's related but also ironically opposite. Let me explain. I'm making the assumption that Timbuk2 is a well to do company. I see your satchels all over the place, especially in this beautiful university town of Missoula. My girlfriend has recently been added to the mix of Timbuk2-ees and might I add she loves the custom bag I created for her. But I digress. Your company is not exactly hurting for money but I find it hard to believe you're giving away these smart satchels just for the hell of it, because you feel nice and generous today. So I'm wondering why I got two of the same bag for the modest price of one.
Now, let me be even more honest, I'm not the biggest fan of the satch-bag, I'm a 30 year old who still wears his backpack through the airport and I'm totally comfortable with that. However, despite this confession I could definitely find a use for this extra bag. I could poke a few holes in the bottom and use it for a planter, or I could trade it for some cash or I could give it away to a needy, poor college student who probably wouldn't appreciate it enough. Ha, I'd be better off giving it to the homeless guy down the street so he could use it for a dog food container. No offense, he really does need something to put his dog food in. Alas, the curse of digression. So, even though I don't think the company would go under because of this small issue I chose to report it because there's a bit of greediness inside me. Outlandish thoughts like me becoming a hero and getting compensated for my inability to lie, cheat or steal or even better, getting hired on at Timbuk2 as a rep or PR guy because of my devoted wittiness! Funny huh? How does one land a company rep job anyway? But truthfully, I'm telling you about this because it's the right thing to do. So you sent me two bags for the price of one (it's been a day since receiving the second bag and my credit card has not been charged), how would you like to handle this?

I have this problem, too!
Tell me when someone solves it.
The more people who report this problem, the more it gets noticed.

The company thinks this is not a problem.

Inappropriate?All I can say is... you are one great writer! Hats off to you just for the sheer creativity of the post. I, for one, appreciate the well-written witticisms of an observant, honest enthusiast such as yourself. You may be too honest to be a sales rep! (ooh! any reps reading right now? you know I love you)
Timbuk2's financials aside, thanks for your honesty. The world needs more folk like you. Two bags, eh? Maybe we're just feeling generous these days. I dunno.
anyhoo, please give us a shout at 800-865-2513 and we'll kick around our options. At the very least we'll give you a sweet deal if you want to keep the second bag (how's that for a sales pitch??) Of course you're in the driver's seat on this one.
Thanks Vern!
I’m liking Vern
