*I* don’t run the AC system! *I* can’t do anything about it! If you have a problem with it I’ll get Stuart out of his ivory tower office and you can ask him!
Well, I run into lots of places where, in winter when people wear heavy clothes, the thermostat is set at 76 or 78 (Fahrenheit), and where in summer when most people wear lightweight clothes, it’s set for 66 or 68 (Fahrenheit again). (Around 24 or 25, and around 19 or 20 Celsius, for those outside the US who can’t do the math.) SOME of that makes sense: in winter, drafts from outside are cold, in summer they’re warm. But I’m still somewhat sympathetic with the customer in this one.
OTOH, Alondra is also correct. Val is not the one to complain to.
I remember when at Officemax, we had a summer of no a/c, because it was apparently controlled by corporate. And then they were claiming it was set at 70, one of the stock guys was in “topstocks” and discovered it was blowing HEAT……they got a repairman in and it turned out it was a short.
