[CGUYS] Selection of Browser to Print Entertainment Coupons

2008-10-27 Thread Alvin Auerbach

To Entertainment.com:

I had a problem printing restaurant coupons on http://www.entertainment.com 
 using Safari 3.1.2 on my iMac running Mac OS 10.5.5.


Your representative told me that your site isn't compatible with my  
browser, and that I should use Internet Explorer.


I exercised an option on Safari that lets me have Safari just tell  
your site that it's an Internet Explorer, even though it's still  
actually Safari.
After that, I had no problem printing the coupon. So there's nothing  
wrong with my browser, it's just that your software limits who it  
wants to deal with. This is akin to saying You can't eat in my  
restaurant because I don't like the color of your skin.


There is no excuse for this type of behavior.

Please change your policy and accept any browser which adheres to  
internet standards.


I look forward to your response.

Sincerely,

 Alvin Auerbach

They probably won't be able to read your email because you wrote it
with an incompatible program :)

Otherwise, a great response! Looking forward to hear what they say.
