My argument with Asda is that some customers don't want to be asked a load of questions when they come to the till and they don't want "silly talk" either. They just want to be served and go home.Annettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17502937949422760649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474063276740367176.post-2063546208612188572011-05-31T10:57:21.827+01:002011-05-31T10:57:21.827+01:00'Oh great, Annette's ranting again' I ...'Oh great, Annette's ranting again' I thought. I love to hear a good old rant and I love to do my own. Anyway, you have my sympathy. I must say I don't really want to be chatted to at the checkout. A smile and a 'Hello' and for the person to be polite is all I ask for. As for 'thank you for waiting' well did the person have a choice? 'Thank you for your patience' when the person waiting is hopping mad and has none? I hate all this 'Is there anything else I can help you with?' stuff that you get everywhere and all this 'How are you today?' Why would someone I don't now want to know how I am? It's all so false. You have your own life; it must be very hard dogn what they want all the time. That's why I think that as long as people are polite I doon't mind them having their own problems to dwell on. It's impossible to leave them behind at home, whatever anybody says. I'd like to tell all thise stupid customer relation pen-pusgers how irritating all this 'customer care' is. I once got silently very annoyed standing in a queue when I was in a hurry and the checkout person and customer were yacketty -yakking and the stuff was just not moving along the belt. I got served the wrong sandwich twice in one visit to a sandwich shop recently by the shop owner because she was so busy yakking. Stuff this comment under their officious Asda noses. Grrrr!!!<br />I think people don't like it when I rant on my blog. I think they take umbrage because they think I'm really angry, but I'm not, I'm actually having enormous fun! Anyway so I'll rant on yours instead!<br />Well done on winnng the prize though.Foodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18407090612662909061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474063276740367176.post-30353765336497883522011-05-29T18:46:08.240+01:002011-05-29T18:46:08.240+01:00If I can come back on that bit about 'chatting...If I can come back on that bit about 'chatting to the customers'.<br />I was in Sainsbury's the other week and there was quite a 'heated row' about this on the checkout next to me. The queues were fairly long and the girl was chatting away to this customer and not really putting through the goods as she should have been. Kept stopping to chat about how well the kids were doing at school and so the belt was not moving. Eventually a bloke who was trying to unload his trolley had had enough and a row developed. I think the girl was upset and a supervisor was called, the girl taken off and the supervisor took over and got things moving again.<br />"I want to be served" he said in a loud voice, "I don't want to stand here and listen to all this 'yackerty-yak'.<br />Well he had a point.<br />It's OK to chat if you keep things moving I suppose, but I find it distracting whilst I am trying to pack and keep an eye on the price read-out. If I'm the only one in the queue, fine. Usually I like to get packed up and away.<br />And I will add my congrats for your pass. I'm sure you deserved it. :)Bernardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09024557597864373705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474063276740367176.post-9326816220726822192011-05-29T18:29:38.697+01:002011-05-29T18:29:38.697+01:00You can always recognise the 'mystery' sho...You can always recognise the 'mystery' shopper....they have usually only bought a packet of Polo's! :)Bernardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09024557597864373705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474063276740367176.post-67274794433012189532011-05-29T12:14:59.509+01:002011-05-29T12:14:59.509+01:00I always feel for the checkout girls, it doesn'...I always feel for the checkout girls, it doesn't take much from the shopper to say thank you for the service but seemingly many people are in their own world and ignore the checkout girls other than to pay for their shopping... though to have your side so regimented is ridiculous and unreasonable... do they mark the shoppers? no, it would be interesting if they did. Congrats on the pass of 100% with the mystery shopper, shows you are on the right track and the lack of management response is unbelievable xx xxSagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005047450040559399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7474063276740367176.post-74604840757315512022011-05-29T09:32:36.805+01:002011-05-29T09:32:36.805+01:00For a small fee, I might investigate, and discover...For a small fee, I might investigate, and discover the identity of the 'mystery shopper' for you!!!!! lol.dickiebohttp://dickiebo.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
