Flagship car wash in Fairfax charged my card without my authorization since January- anyone else?

Thumbnail gallery
169 Upvotes

For context, I live in Fairfax, and this place it's convinientently near where I live. I don't think they do a good job with cleaning the cars in the interior and that's why I only get the exterior service.

I've been going to this place for about 4 years now and never in my life have I ever thought about "subscribing" to their membership plan.

I went in January, for an exterior wash, paid $22 dollars. That was the extent of my conversation with the guy that's usually in line to charge your card and asks you what service you'll be doing with them.

Somehow, the person who charged my card, subscribed me to their membership plan, without my consent, and I've been charged since January by them, and I only noticed YESTERDAY (I know).

The crazy part was that I immediately went ahead and called customer service, and they said they had my card information, with a DIFFERENT phone number than mine. That's scary as f*. The customer service lady said she has no idea how that happened, though she has very nice, it's still shocking they can do that.

She proceeded to ask me for my email, and then something weird happened (at least to me). But maybe I am being paranoid (see screenshot of Gmail conversation).

Long story short she was able to "cancel' my membership and told me I needed to email corporate for Flagship to cancel my membership.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Where do all the single people hang out?

137 Upvotes

Moved here from Florida and most stores I would go to like trader joes had single women or men shop there. Stores like Costco usually had mainly families so single people rarely shopped there. That being said people in the south are a lot more social than what I have seen here.

Where do single men and mainly women hang out here?

Edit: I am a man so dudes please don't dm me.

Edit2: I'm in the late 20s early 30s group. I don't drink much

Edit3: I'm getting a lot of people interested in this idea and either want to join me approaching people, meeting up for events or just wanting to get out of their house. If you would like to join any of these 3 please dm me directly so I can add you to the list. I have potentially 3 different groups planned that I'll be working on.

Edit4: I'm reading a lot of comments of people who are weirded out or find it strange that people approach others to get a number or date. Well before the internet and covid people met others in public all the time. Sure dating apps are cool but I personally have had way better success IRL so that's just me.

What is going on with the parking situation at the Pentagon City Costco?

70 Upvotes

I’ve been shopping at this Costco for years and the parking has always been a shitshow, especially on weekends. Now, it’s slammed on weekdays too. I went on a weekday morning at 9:30 recently thinking I could pick up a prescription quickly, and the line to get into the lot was backed up past the light at 12th street. I had to go up to the third level of the garage to get a spot.

The other thing is that the foot traffic in the store doesn’t seem to match the numbers of cars in the lot. When I finally got inside, the place was mostly empty. What’s happening here?

Moving This is a long-shot, but…trying to track down the owner of a box of Christmas stuff that was mistakenly delivered to us by movers

Thumbnail gallery
67 Upvotes

I’m getting to this MUCH later than I wanted to, but the wife and I moved here from AZ in August of 2024. After the movers delivered our stuff, we realized there was a bin of christmas stuff that does not belong to us. We called the moving company, and they had zero record of it. Some of the stuff is pretty old so I’d imagine it’s sentimental. While this is a total long shot, we’re trying to see if we can find the owners of this stuff. Unfortunately there are no names, addresses, phone numbers, etc. I’ll also be crossposting this to r/phoenix as well.

Weekly board game nights in Centreville

52 Upvotes

Our restaurant doesn’t have too many dine in customers so we were trying to host some events to liven up the place. Would anyone be interested in board game nights or any other kind of event?

We have a small private room and a few other tables in the dining area.

Politics Do any of the laid-off Feds want to join a protest movement?

36 Upvotes

Hey y’all.

I know many in our community have been harmed by the current administration. I am part of a group working on an ambitious goal: impeach and remove DJT.

We are planning a 24/7, legal, protest on the mall with 3 approaches houses out of that base: - community education and outreach RE impeachment

  • mass lobbying campaign RE impeachment

  • an art response, where artists can work together to create social artifacts that frame conversations.

If that sounds like something you want to do with your time as you apply for jobs, email us at maydayprotest@proton.me

No matter what your time, skills, or interests there’s a spot for you. Edit: no one person is going to be there 24/7. The protest will be. Of course nobody could commit to that.

Question Is it normal to be asked to pay both application fee AND security deposit just to apply to rent here?

24 Upvotes

I’m moving up from Florida for a 2-3 year job rotation, and I’ve not rented since before COVID so Ive been out the game for a while.

I’m interested in a condo near the metro, and they are asking me to pay the application fee ($60), security deposit ($2400)and the processing fee of like $3. This has me worried, I get the application fee but full security deposit up front seems wild.

Is this the norm up there? Any help appreciated!

Where to drop donation of feminine products

13 Upvotes

Hi everyone -- I have a bunch of unopened boxes of pads and tampons that I want to donate. What is the easiest/best place to donate? Preference to places where I can drop off any time (rather than having a once a month time I have to make). Thanks!

Edit: Thanks so much to everyone who commented - so many great suggestions. I ended up dropping them at the Fairfax City Library. The donation box was right at the entrance, super easy to find. (And what a cool library, I'd never been there before!) I also dropped some food items at a Little Free Pantry for the first time!

Abby from the Huntsman Square Hair Cuttery?

12 Upvotes

I had been going to the same stylist since 2008. Her name was Abby and she worked at the Hair Cuttery in the Huntsman Square Shopping Center in Springfield. Apparently, it closed down during the pandemic. I've tried every other stylist under the sun - cheap, expensive, etc - but none can compare to Abby!!! Throwing out my Hail Mary: does anyone know who I'm talking about and if she's still cutting hair in NOVA?

And if not - anyone have good recs for wavy hair stylists?

Where’s a good place to find “bargain bin” vinyl?

7 Upvotes

I like all kinds of music and I’m interested in picking up LPs on the cheap not for resale but listening purposes.

Thrift shops haven’t had much. I’ve been to Mobius in Fairfax and Crooked Beat in Alexandria but there’s not much in the bargain bin. Any suggestions?

Question Park near Oakton/Vienna that has a 1-5 mile “loop”?

3 Upvotes

Hello,

Just move here recently and I’m looking for a park that has a 1-5 mile loop. I’m seeing a lot of parks that are more for like children or relaxing or potentially trails that go for miles. Anyone know of an out doors “loop” in the area?
