Poor customer service is a pet hate of mine and when I'm out shopping I can be quite vocal about it - much to my husband's embarrassment. <BR/><BR/>It kills me when the dopes just don't get it - we're spending money in their store and effectively paying their wages. There's no respect. Oh yeah - I forgot, a lot of the time, the dopes aren't interested in working and are looking to be sacked so they can go back to vegetating at home and being doled out by our taxes anyway. <BR/><BR/>Make poor customer service a criminal offence and line them all up against the wall and shoot them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2421913838337434.post-25121766957173996702007-11-05T13:14:00.000+00:002007-11-05T13:14:00.000+00:00This tale is sad and amusing in equal measure, but...This tale is sad and amusing in equal measure, but probably pretty common too. You just can't force your business on some people these days and find yourself feeling like you're inconveniencing them for asking.<BR/><BR/>I remember a few years back when Mini Disc players came out and in Comet I dared to ask if I could actually listen to a £170 Mini Disc Walkman before buying it (I'd even brought along my own disc to listen to, eliminating the obvious excuse). The guy looked at me like I'd asked if I could urinate on it rather than listen to it. £170 was a lot of money back then though for a Walkman, and would you buy a TV without seeing the picture, or a car without having a test drive? I think not.<BR/><BR/>The comic twist in all of this is that in the internet age where you can find so many things cheaper online, these idiots try to position themselves on service to try and counter the online threat to their businesses. I hope they get all they deserve.<BR/><BR/>So come on Drayton, what's the name of this cheap plonk you buy at Tesco's? I'm sure I'm not the only one that wants to know - I've always wanted to find a tipple that keeps me looking 17 for life!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
