11. I've done it three times...

Feb 2022

once in a dentists office, and twice in a auto service center, the channel was changed in the dentists office, turned off in one of the auto service centers, and told me to talk to the general manager in the second service center. After talking to him, they turned it off.

Sometimes you just have to let them know, no more bullshit!
