I am the CEO of a non-profit which help seniors’ and low-income people with interior painting and designing of their home or business. On designing this business, I needed a hanging sign, which was already there so, therefore I only needed panels describing the type of business and light bulbs inside the sign. The owner of the sign company gave me a price of almost $1,200.00 for the 2 4×4 panels going on the existing hanging sign, plus a small nuts decal for the window. I did not like the owner’s superior attitude, but that was his own entitlement, and I felt the price he quoted to me was high. However, the ladies working upfront was very nice and pleasant, I thought they were too nice to work for a dishonest racist person as John showed his true colors to me later on. I gave the young lady a$500.00 deposit with a promise to have the sign panels and lighting in ten days, which turned into almost a month. After I complained several times getting no result, I told the secretary I would get another sign company to hang my sign. The next day someone came out to fix the sign, upon checking the light bulbs the repair man determined that the balance which controls the lighting for the sign was bad. I told him to replace it, the repair man suggested I replace the old lighting with LED lighting, I said OK if the lights work. The LED lighting did not work for the sign, there was a big black mark down the middle when the sign was turned on at night. I went back to Aztec signs several times complaining about the terrible sign job which cost almost $1,200.00 no one came out to look at the sign and the owner said to me the sign could not be fixed. The next day I called the owners office and spoke with his secretary, I let her know I would be getting another sign company to see if the sign could be fixed, if they say the sign could not be fixed, then fine, but if it could be fixed then I would send them the bill or have a lawyer settle the matter if he refused to pay. John, the owner came to my shop yelling at me saying I threatened his secretary which I did not, I was simply giving them advance notice of my actions providing we could not settle this matter. ( Aztec made No effort to come out) John the owner was yelling that he would not fix my sign and that I could take the sign and shove it up my azz, and walked off. (keeping my money) I think if I was not a Black man the outcome would have been totally different, because John would never have treated a white man or any other man with such disrespect. This is what happens when there is no respect for you or your people. I paid another sign company $600.00 to fix / change the sign lighting from the LED lights which was the wrong choice of bulbs. The unfixable sign by Aztec, that I did not shove up my Azz was repaired by another sign company. Think about that! God Bless the children who have their own.
