Dear PoPville

“Am wondering if folks have had other weird experiences?”

“Dear PoPville,

I walked by the newly opened the Joint Chiropractor in Columbia Heights. They were giving away “free adjustments” which sounded great! I signed up the next day, which was last Friday. I didn’t have to work so I figured I would stroll in and receive a free adjustment (they heavily advertise walk-ins). As soon as I signed up–

I got a call from what clearly sounded like a call center. The woman said “when do you want to come in” and I said, I was thinking of coming over there sometime this morning. She said ok 10:30 or 11:30– I said 10:30 is in 2 minutes, I Don’t think I can make it how about 1045? She said no 10:30-11;30— immediately the vibe got weird and I said– let me call you back to find a better time.

Every day since then they have called me, clearly from call centers. Very pushy, very weird. I get businesses have to hustle for business, but it feels SO weird coming from a healthcare provider. Am wondering if folks have had other weird experiences? Have people actually gone and gotten an adjustment? The whole thing feels funny!”
