I rang up to cancel their incredibly average service and since its 4 days into May I was informed iId be charged for the whole month ie nearly a hundy. Shitty service, sh@#ty customer service and sh@#ty policies - great work guys.

Westmere Roast02/05/2008

As a loyal customer of the last 2 years I was really disappointed to see the price of a special combo raised for the second time, I could deal with $5.50 but this is just out of hand. Sort it out guys

Vent under fire02/05/2008

The Vent apologises if you haven't been able to vent or view the website. It seems some people out there don't like what The Vent is about and temporarily disrupted services. Which one of you companies have something to hide... ?

Ninas Fish&Chips01/05/2008

So Al&Pete's on Ponsonby Road is now under new ownership and called "Ninas" It is so s@#t. My potato fritter was pretty meh. My friend ordered a bacon burger and the bacon wasn't even seared... It was pretty much fried luncheon. You don't even know your prices which are actually on the buttons on your till... I was so embarrassed your real first name is the same as mine. Sigh. Now I have to go to New Market to get my Al & Pete's fix.

SkyCity Cinemas Website01/05/2008

It sucks like a slap in the face with a wet towel on your way to work on a cold morning in May. It's ugly, confusing, has muppet navigation, crashes every 5 minutes and the damn things is brand spanking new. They also ripped off the coverflow concept from Apple, only that it's crap.

Facebook30/04/2008

So we at The Vent decided to put a little advert on facebook. We spent 10 minutes filling in the form, and the next day we get an 'advert declined' message with a 5 line explanation stating the advert is declined because the first letter in the advert needed to be a capital letter. So instead of writing 5 lines, their admin could've just corrected the capital letter and problem solved? Instead we had to spend 10 more minutes re-typing and submiting the advert, only this time facebook crashes 3 times and we can't complete the transaction. Lovely!!
