This Guy Should Win His Case IMO

[Hartley]

A married man is suing 1-800-Flowers for $1 million for revealing that he was cheating on his wife.

Leroy Greer said in a lawsuit filed this week in a federal court in Texas that he bought flowers for his girlfriend through 1-800-Flowers. He asked to keep his purchase private.

Greer said he was referred to the company's privacy policy, which states that customers can ask 1-800-Flowers not to share personal information with "third parties."

But, the lawsuit says, 1-800-Flowers sent a thank-you note to his house and his wife saw it. When she called the company, 1-800-Flowers faxed her a copy of the receipt from Greer's secret purchase.

The receipt revealed that Greer had sent another woman a dozen long-stemmed red roses, along with a note that read, "Just wanted to say that I love you and you mean the world to me!" according to court documents.

The couple was already going through what Greer's attorney described as an amicable divorce.

After learning of the affair, Greer's wife asked for a $300,000 divorce settlement in addition to child support, said Kennitra Foote, Greer's attorney.

"That thank-you note is going to cost him money," Foote said.

Greer is asking for $1 million for breach of contract and deceptive trade practices.

"This is not a moral issue," Foote said. "The issue is, is 1-800-Flowers in the business of causing divorce or are they in the business of sending flowers and sticking to their privacy policy?"

A 1-800-Flowers spokesman said the company does not comment on pending litigation. In a statement, spokesman Steven Jarmon said, "We take all matters relating to our customers seriously; however, we are not responsible for an individual's personal conduct."

Hard to find much sympathy for the idiot, but, i agree to an extent.. they screwed him pretty bad.



Dumbass should have gone somewhere locally, and paid cash though.

let me rephrase this for the jury.

1-800-FLOWERS mailed a thank you card addressed to the plantiff. The plaintiffs wife illegally opened and examined the contents. She then under false pretense contacted 1-800-FLOWERS and frauduantly obtained information regarding the Plantiffs account. 1-800-FLOWERS is as much a victim as the plantiff.

#1, they shouldn't have sent a 'thank you note".

#2,

She then under false pretense contacted 1-800-FLOWERS and frauduantly obtained information regarding the Plantiffs account.

you really think she tricked them into thinking she was ''Leroy"?


they dropped the ball, imo... a few times.


still, i think they are both morons, so, don't really care much either way.
