CheckoutSo, I bought something online from this store the other day and it didn't go too well. I put in a discount code when I was checking out, but I still got charged the full price. I sent an email to customer service to try and fix it, but all they sent me back were those automated replies with their terms and conditions. They wouldn't even listen to me asking for a refund of the extra money I paid. It was pretty disappointing to see them treat me like that, I felt like they didn't really care about helping me out or talking to me properly.
About Bodega
Bodega is a tech startup founded in 2017 by two former Google employees, Paul McDonald and Ashwath Rajan. The company originally aimed to revolutionize convenience shopping through the implementation of unmanned smart pantry boxes, essentially modern vending machines stocked with non-perishable items, located in lobbies, offices, and residential buildings. Bodega's initial concept, despite its innovative tech approach to retail, faced significant backlash for potentially threatening small local businesses, particularly corner stores traditionally known as "bodegas." Following the criticism, the company rebranded to Stockwell in 2018, emphasizing a more community-friendly image and expanding its service offerings before ultimately ceasing operations in July 2020.
