  I have previously reached out to the BBB REGARFING Chalet garden center in ******** (Thank you for filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.Your temporary complaint ID is ************************************. Y) . However, I have been receiving emails from Chalet almost on a daily basis but most definitely weekly. I am getting text messages as well. I presumed I was removed from all communications from Chalet as it was agreed on during the last resolution through the BBB. I know want to file a formal complaint off harassment against Chalet. It is targeting me in the same way it staff would target me and follow me around the store every time I went. Please help me to get Chalet to leave me alone for good.

  Dear BBB:
  We reviewed the complaint submitted. Attached is a PDF outlining the history of activities pertaining to the email address: ********************.
  The email address was removed per request in May 2023. However, in November 2023, our system shows that an opt-in activity was made for both email and SMS. Our assessment is that the email address was accidentally included in a one-time upload of our customers for a holiday shopping event that the customer had signed up for in the past (2021).

  
  Today, upon reviewing the complaint reported by the BBB on Saturday, June 2024, we took immediate action and removed the customer record from our email and SMS list.

  
  We sincerely apologize for the human error and appreciate your patience.

  
  Sincerely,
  ***********************
  VP, *************** Office

  I was customer of ********************** Nurses in *********, ******** but after a series of discriminatory and humiliating incidents in store one day, I reached out to the store manager to share my experience. I stressed I would not shop at Chalet anymore and I stressed I did not want to receive its company emails.I have unsubscribed multiple times but I continue to receive the store emails. After my experience with it, I find it infuriating and triggering to see its emails. I have tried everything from unsubscribing multiple times, to asking the business to remove me.Please help in getting Chalet to leave me alone. My email provided above is the email I need removed from its list.

  Dear BBB team:

  Attached is a screen shot of Zen Desk (the app used for our customer communication).  As you'll see we've been trying to obtain more information from the customer when she shared her first complains last year. As for her email opt-in status, she has been opening the emails sent from ** once a month, and today, she opened one of our February 2023 emails. No attempt to unsubscribe. Today, we updated her status so that she will no longer receive emals from **.

  We sent her an email to let her know that she'll no longer receive our marketing email and asked her to share some details behind her negative experience.

  Hope this serves as a sufficient course of action.  Please advise.

   

  Thanks,

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution I will accept at face value. 
  

  Please note, I am a man. The * at the end of Spanish names indicates male. Just a respectful note. And please note I did open your email from February, recently, the same day I filled the complaint with BBB. I did so looking for an email as proof I was still getting it a year later. Most times I erased them, because!, e-mail open automatically when I am just reading and move from one to another.
  

  And since you want a reminder on my experience, I will share the last incident. I asked for the price of napkins, and your staff began to explain to me what napkins are for, and what napkins are used for. Your staff went as far as to instruct me on where I can place my napkin on my lap, through demonstration and gestures, right after telling me what a dinner napkin is. And persisted to tell me what a guest napkins is, what its for, when you use it. When you invite, guest, which was also defined to me, guests. I was told guests are people you invite you your house, and have napkins for them in the bathroom. All in response to asking for the price. I speak three languages. 
  

  I am omitting many more details, because my issue here now is I have continued to receive your emails. Including the job announcement you sent out. I got that one too but I erased it. And I forgot to erase the February one, which good thing I kept to show I still get them and you clearly can see that I did. 
  

  Now I could share my email communications with your business regarding the incident, but you already have said emails in your office team responses. You should be able to review your own team emails and find me asking to stop receiving communications from your business. 
  

  And for your ****** I dont think I need to nor should share other incidents at your business. I am not looking to hurt you but the episode above is one in a chain. And you will why I kept going. Friend and family of my frequent your business. Sometimes I would go to accompany their interest in your holiday activities. And Im anticipation of your response, I made it very clear to my family and friends that I will never join them anymore in any Chalet related activities. 
  

  So I hope for both of our well beings, this is the last time we will ever have to acknowledge each other. 

  Sincerely,
