Hey Tiki Centralites!

Here is the latest on Shelley's private war with Hampton Inn Tropicana. Thank you for your interest and support with the boycott!

5/31 Shelley is contacted by a Visa representative who asked H.I.T. G.M., Lee Brigmon, to remove the charge for $129.71 on Shelley's Visa bill. Bridgmon tells Visa rep. "I have absolutely no interest in working with Visa or Shelley to remove the charge. She (Shelley) is a lunatic! And I don't appreciate people who run around thinkin' they are 'Little Miss It' and trying to act like they are all EDUCATED!"

6/2 Visa says they will remove the charge and take up the dispute with H.I.T. themselves.

6/5 AM Shelley is a guest on Troubleshooter, Tom Martino's national radio show. H.I.T. Manager, Luis Leon hung up on Martino when he tried to contact H.I.T. Martino broadcasts H.I.T.'s phone number over the air at least four times. Martino says, "H.I.T. is on my black list. Consumers should avoid that place like the plague. The management staff are idiots!"

6/5 PM Hampton Inn Corporate Guest Assistance contacts Shelley to apologize and refund her money. They want to offer a free night at a H.I. (Gag.) They grovel and apologize profusely. They mention H.I.T. G.M. Bridgmon as saying, "I just want to make it right." Now, do you think that had anything to do with the message Tom Martino left on his voice mail?

Thank you all for your support!
Love, Shelley
