Shorted on 1/4 cord of firewood:
The new counter man (i,e., not the owner) winced when I asked for 1/4 cord of firewood to be delivered, saying "We don't like to deliver 1/4 cords". I informed him that I have had 1/4 cords delivered numerous occaisions in the past and I always paid the extra charge for delivery, just like it said on the sign on the counter. I trusted them as I usaully have, but when we got into the middle of the stack of firewood we noticed it was filled with numerous under-sized pieces, shorting us out of about 20-30%. I got the feeling I was being taught a lesson so I decided to return the favor. I would never do business with them again even though they are less than a mile from my front door.
