Pricing and Service: Rusty Shackleford felt that the business was a "rip off" due to a 10-cent difference between copper prices, while Lawrence Gilliam and The Weather Man experienced issues with pricing, receiving less than expected for their scrap metal. The Weather Man reported bringing in 200 pounds of metal and receiving only $6, with much of the weight being aluminum.
Confusion and Disorganization: The Weather Man's experience was particularly negative, as they felt that they were misled and taken advantage of due to the lack of guidance on sorting metal.
Responsiveness: The Weather Man also felt that the business was un responsive to their needs, resulting in a poor overall experience.
