Pattern of Complaints

On October 20, 2020, a business operating as The Table Times was brought to the attention of Better Business Bureau. The Table Times website can be found at http://www.thetabletime.com/#, and they advertise as being a business that provides high quality entertainment booklets to restaurants across the U.S. and Canada. Consumers allege they paid in advance for advertising that was never printed or made available for review. Consumers further allege they have been unable to contact the business for an explanation regarding the lack of advertising services and refunds.

On October 20, 2020, Better Business Bureau spoke with a business representative regarding the consumer complaints. He explained that due to the pandemic and government imposed restrictions, he lost most of his staff. He said the business was in the process of trying to hire additional staff but the government restrictions made it difficult to hire people that had the option of staying home and collecting unemployment.  He said he began the process of outsourcing some of the printing jobs in an effort to catch up with the demand for services.

On November 18, 2020, and November 30, 2020, Better Business Bureau attempted to contact the business for an update regarding the customer complaints. The advertised telephone number of 800-824-1104 is no longer in service.

Consumers can file complaints with Better Business Bureau at www.bbb.org, Federal Trade Commission Consumer Protection at ReportFraud.ftc.gov, and the Washington State Office of the Attorney General at https://www.atg.wa.gov/consumer-protection.

However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
