      I have 3 different screenshots of ads and ******** posts by Biolife offering a $240 ************* Bonus for donating at a brand new center within it's first month. I was told this was not what was promised (although it is VERBATIM what was promised) and that instead, the 'bonus' was that they would add $10 to my future donation amounts through December of this year. Implying I'd need to continue donating twice a week for 4 weeks as a new donor, them continue to donate twice a week through the end of the year after that to 'apply' my bonus. When I spoke to the manager to show her how clearly misleading the ads and posts were, she told me that I was new to the process so I just didn't understand the way things work there with their way of doing things. I understand the process completely and have read every word available on the promotion - what she was saying is not remotely close to what was offered. This is blatant false advertising and the manager speaking to me as if I just wasn't smart enough to understand felt disrespectful and unprofessional. She told me she would pass my feedback on to their marketing department, but I just want someone to acknowledge that yes, it was a lie and was misleading and I would like it to be made right by them giving me the money they promised in their ads and online posts. I have also found this same promise made for other openings in other states so this is not a one time problem. I would not have driven out of my way to donate at this location had the bonus not been promised, and now I find I have to keep driving out there two times a week, every week, for the rest of the year to earn this money. earn up The postings clearly say earn up to 750* +240 IN YOUR FIRST MONTH. If you are given a Christmas bonus, do you expect am actual bonus given all at once at Christmas, or to receive an extra $10 per check for the next few months? Stop posting these ads and give what you promised.

      This business at its Corona and ******** have repeatedly disregarded its customers time and gas money. You go and you are waiting over 2 hours in ******. In ******** I had an appt on 8/26. Checked in and then told they could not see me because they had a 2 hour wait but the line for vitals was empty and the chairs where they draw blood had a section empty and the other area were not completely full. I leave and see an available for Corona and decide to drive out. When I arrived they said that I could not check in because I checked in ******** and they marked it that I chose to leave. I've had to wait over 2 hours each time I have gone. My husband also has been turned away 4 times now and we both barely started donating. So I dont receive my incentive, waist time and gas.

      ***************************************************. So here is a question. Why don't they have an emergency generator for power outages? The power went out. People were still hooked up. Many with blood still in the bowl. There was no communication on what was going on. 911 had to be called because a woman got sick while sitting there hooked up. Puking and screaming. Probably from low blood sugar due to no return.They should have a generator to at least do returns on the people that need them. Instead, we get treated to 0 communication, flashing overhead lights, a bag of goldfish, water and a 2 month deferral. Irresponsible handling all around. Sending people out with blood loss and and inability to donate and get paid for 2 months because you can't provide a generator to responsibly handle an emergency and get fluids back to people. 0 communication. Seriously. Donors literally left in the dark...except for the strobe lighted ceiling.

      Center told me I am on my last warning and now I am permanently banned. The company tells me that i was already given 2 warnings and on 8-18-2024 I was told that the last time I was there i was rude to an employee and now i am permanently banned. Whenever i ask what i did or said to be rude there is no answer. One time i came to center and was called in the office and told something i said was inappropriate but there is never a quote of what i said in their report. I talk freely about issues and sometimes i joke about stuff and i feel someone was offended by something i said but i never was rude to anyone. I was asked by an employee to not talk about certain things so i feel that the center is showing passive aggressive behavior.

      I have been donating plasma since May of this year 2024, every time i have tired using the bathroom (different times and days) the stall doors are locked but it never seams that anyone is in there. I usually go to the center at least 2 times a week. So the odds of it always being in use are slim to none. This past Sunday though 8/18/24 I signed in, got checked out and went to the bathroom. Again stalls are locked, didn't see feet or any sign that anyone is even in there. I got back in line waited an hour to get a chair. I again attempted to go to the bathroom and still the same situation. I even said "hey i really need to use the restroom." No response. I complained to the lady infront and what I have noticed in the past months. I even complained to the techs my situation but by then it was 2 hours of holding it in!! By the time i was done i had to walk slowly to try to use the bathroom AGAIN same situation. I almost wet myself because if this. I felt degraded and humiliated, i was in pain for 3 days. No one helped me or even tried to figure out what is going on in the womans bathroom. I even retured today 8/20 and still the stalls are locked and no one is in there!! This was very uncalled for.

      Filed a complaint with the company about not having enough employees available and long wait times for appointment . Then next visit they tell me I have syphilis and made me go crazy getting tested but results came back negative every time . I believe this was a way for them to avoid paying me the rest of what they advertised because of my complaint .
