THIS STORY IS UNVERIFIED and sounds libelous to me. The First Amendment protects true speech and opinion, not unbalanced lies which try to smear someone's reputation because they said "no" to you when you were obviously being a jerk.
"Pete of Sebastopol" clearly has an anger management problem to start with, and difficulty being accountable for his own behavoir, also. Nowhere does he describe what HE did, and in my with writers' of this type of crap, they almost always WERE the problem, and totally distorted what happened.
Besides being defamatory, his story is not credible specifically because it is highly unlikely that two corporate representatives actually said that a franchise manager say whatever they want, like "f- off" etc to customers. It is not the language nor advise corporate would give, especially if they thought this guys story was true. If they thought it was true, they would probably had told him they would investigate.
I have always had exemplary service from the AIM people in Sebastopol, specifically Deborah, and the rest of her staff, even when she and they are busy, or I have been a tetch crabby because I didn't give myself enough time.
What you put in, you get out - "PETE of Sebastopol", I hope I never run into you.
But for me, I will continue to use the notary and postal services at AIM in Sebastopol. And Ripoff Report, I hope you get sued but good for failing to use basic journalist guidelines - check your sources lest you be liable for libel!

The only reason I found this site, is I was looking for AIM Sebastopol's phone number. I was totally shocked when I read this person's comments. We have been customers of AIM Mail Center in Sebastopol for about 6 years. When Deborah Washburn took over a year or two ago, it was such a pleasant surprise, as the man who owned it before was not very friendly. Neither my husband nor I has ever had anything other than a good experience with Deborah. So many people we know who frequent the store have said how great it is since Deborah took over. We are in the store 5 to 6 times a week to get our mail and do other business. We have never heard or seen Deborah be anything other than kind and friendly to all her customers. Donna and Michael

Ironic that he claims as a liability that Ms. Washburn is a l*****n, since Pete(r) Basso is gay. Not only is he gay, but he has a few restraint warrants from the police barring him from a number of establishments around Sebastopol (if not other places), including for unwelcome attention toward a male employee. He is regularly abusive toward employees at businesses around Sebastopol. He is also a lawyer, but given his dishonest (and childish) conduct he should probably be disbarred. I have been in the AIM mail center a number of times to get copies made, and for Notary services, every person there, including Ms. Washburn have been professional and courteous at all times. Since I am a man also, I think I can safely say that Ms. Washburn being a man hater is a figment of Peter's overactive imagination. The problems he complained about lie entirely within himself. It's a shame the ripoff report allows the mentally unstable ramblings of this man to besmirch the reputation of a well-run and above-board business.
