Precision Research is NEVER to contact me about any future studies. I was told by Tim, simply to show up at 6PM for a study. Tim made no mention of me needing to bring my vehicle or that it would be used for the study.
I show up in an Uber, which costed me $20. The receptionist tells me i cannot participate because I did not bring the car, which I was never asked to. I tell her that I understand that I cannot participate, and only wish to be compensated for my travel cost, since the error of miscommunication was not my own.

After thirty minutes of this woman rudely asserting that this is my fault for not being a psychic, I leave empty handed, having wasted 90 minutes and $40. This behavior is the peak of unprofessionalism.
