money above all, all the time no matter the circumstances. yeh, great.

This nurse has been shat upon by too many, even so called progressives and democrats. When she is at work in hospital, maybe she will just go by the book and not be involved in the many extra kindnesses nurses do for people every day.

That takes some balls liberal N proud Nov 2014 #1

No, it takes some understanding of medical science and mass hysteria fuelled by the media...you Fred Sanders Nov 2014 #9

WTF does understanding of medical science have to do with her deciding to not get LisaL Nov 2014 #12

You put a non-refundable deposit down Ms. Toad Nov 2014 #15

How did SHE cause harm? You seem to forget it was mass hysteria causing the harm. Fred Sanders Nov 2014 #18

I think that must be it because things are getting weird on this subject. LawDeeDah Nov 2014 #76

Yes, exactly, the psychology unfolding on this thread of victimization syndrome is fascinating. Fred Sanders Nov 2014 #128

Part of our survivalist walnut brain from millions of years ago LawDeeDah Nov 2014 #129

Speaking only for myself SickOfTheOnePct Nov 2014 #77

It wasn't she who caused the harm, it was mass hysteria stupidity. I'd bill CNN and the enablers LawDeeDah Nov 2014 #32

How did Vinson cause the store losses? Fred Sanders Nov 2014 #8

By going into the store knowing liberalhistorian Nov 2014 #50

No. They lost business because of hysteria, nothing more, no one was at risk, scientifically Fred Sanders Nov 2014 #52

You mean to try to convince us that you honestly do not know how the public thinks? Jamastiene Nov 2014 #79

Public health officials forced a three week closure Crunchy Frog Nov 2014 #109

you're right, of course magical thyme Nov 2014 #41

Aww jimony shenmue Nov 2014 #3

How does canceling an order for dresses make the public feel safer? magical thyme Nov 2014 #42

Did you even read the post you replied to? uppityperson Nov 2014 #47

Maybe she doesn't want her bridesmaids Crunchy Frog Nov 2014 #58

alrighty -- she claims she was doing the store a favor, to spare them further scrutiny? unblock Nov 2014 #5

She fucking visited the store while not symptomatic...so it is the fucking scardy cat ignorant public Fred Sanders Nov 2014 #7

The store has a policy against refunds. LisaL Nov 2014 #11

According to the CDC's current guidelines she was symptomatic. Ms. Toad Nov 2014 #13

I agree with everything you said. nt laundry_queen Nov 2014 #116

The store has a no refund policy. tammywammy Nov 2014 #14

I totally agree. This is an unusual circumstance so the 'keep deposit' thing shouldn't apply. LawDeeDah Nov 2014 #34

How is it really that unusual? tammywammy Nov 2014 #36

For one thing, that dress shop could have had a lot of business from the LawDeeDah Nov 2014 #48

BS SickOfTheOnePct Nov 2014 #54

and BS back atcha. LawDeeDah Nov 2014 #61

Why exactly do you believe she should get a refund? SickOfTheOnePct Nov 2014 #64

you know what, I don't give a fuck. LawDeeDah Nov 2014 #72

I highly doubt giving her a refund would have netted any good return from the nurses union. tammywammy Nov 2014 #69

okay you win. No exceptions for anything ever. LawDeeDah Nov 2014 #73

Why was she deserving of a special Dorian Gray Nov 2014 #110

Is this a soap opera? LawDeeDah Nov 2014 #111

That's where you're wrong Dorian Gray Nov 2014 #113

Agreed. Vinson is being extraordinarily petty. n/t Crunchy Frog Nov 2014 #123

I live in WA, am a fellow nursing giving her support. Shame on thinking only those she worked with uppityperson Nov 2014 #74

So from Washington state you're going to travel to Cleveland to buy dresses? tammywammy Nov 2014 #81

FFS! HappyMe Nov 2014 #10

I posted this yesterday. Ms. Toad Nov 2014 #17

I just heard about it this morning on the local news. tammywammy Nov 2014 #19

That was my reaction, as well. Ms. Toad Nov 2014 #28

If the store has a no refund policy she is out of luck. She lost them no business, fear uppityperson Nov 2014 #21

I looked at a bunch of articles and none say anything different. tammywammy Nov 2014 #27

I see no issue with asking for a refund, but not to expect it. uppityperson Nov 2014 #38

I agree tammywammy Nov 2014 #39

She didn't ask. Her lawyer did, and took it public. nt magical thyme Nov 2014 #44

Zales replaces Amber Vinson's destroyed engagement ring. KMOD Nov 2014 #23

She didn't con Zales for a new ring. tammywammy Nov 2014 #25

I'll accept your apology in advance. tammywammy Nov 2014 #106

I guess I didn't see the edit. LawDeeDah Nov 2014 #108

Appreciation for fixing of post. IdaBriggs Nov 2014 #26

I was being snarky. My apologies. I will fix it. KMOD Nov 2014 #29

Considering the markup on jewelry, it was probably pennies for Zales. tammywammy Nov 2014 #30

There is a big difference between a jewelery company Ms. Toad Nov 2014 #31

She believed she was being helpful. KMOD Nov 2014 #33

Nonsense. Ms. Toad Nov 2014 #35

Her intent, is her intent, it can't be argued. KMOD Nov 2014 #37

I've written enough demand letters which generate negative publicity, Ms. Toad Nov 2014 #51

Her lawyer said it was an attempt to help the store *and to help Amber* magical thyme Nov 2014 #46

She sounds like she's begging for sympathy SickOfTheOnePct Nov 2014 #68

You don't find Dorian Gray Nov 2014 #114

tell it to the CDC Ms. Toad Nov 2014 #125

Actually the store should sue FOX News and CNN for the hysterical coverage that cost them business. kelliekat44 Nov 2014 #59

nah, it's always easier to pick on the weaker than CNN and FOX in cases like these. LawDeeDah Nov 2014 #88

No, they should actually sue the public health officials Crunchy Frog Nov 2014 #112

Maybe that is what she hired a lawyer for. LawDeeDah Nov 2014 #115

K&R to nurses everywhere. LawDeeDah Nov 2014 #91

I don't understand getting the attorney involved... Blue_Tires Nov 2014 #92
