Customer Wronged By Best Buy
14/10/08 23:52 Filed in: Random
This is just one of many derogatory stories about Best Buy and it just happened to be picked up on by Diggnation. There’s hundreds on The Consumerist; I really didn’t realise they were that bad, not that I have much experience with them seeing as we don’t have any in the UK, although they have teamed up with Carphone Warehouse so we may be seeing some stores here in the future. Watch this space...and this video.
Is it the only way to stay in business though? To just accept the customer is always right, even if they’re trying to pull a fast one and deliberately trying to cheat you out of something?
Will companies never prove the customer is wrong if it means losing business?

Apple Mocks Their Own EasyPay
15/09/08 12:15 Filed in: Random
This is a funny video made by some employees at the LA Apple Store about their EasyPay system. I was looking for this because rumour had it that everyone involved got fired. Wrong! Apparently this is an internal video for Apple and not intended for public viewing, but I thought it was funny anyway.
(Update: The video was not commissioned by Apple, but they thought it was so good, they used it during the widespread roll-out of EasyPay. If you still don’t know what EasyPay is, maybe you should watch the video :D)

Fast Food Touchdown
18/06/08 10:23 Filed in: Stories
To those who work at a fast food place - has this ever happened to you?
I wouldn’t mind one bit if I was stuck on the drive-thru all day if Ehren McGeyhey came along and did that. The girl at the window doesn’t really know what to do, lol. She kinda just forgets about the customers, and any other cars that might be waiting, but what would you do? Offer them another meal even though it wasn’t your fault?
Random fast-food story:
When I went through the drive-thru with my friend ages ago, we asked for a 9 chicken nugget meal and the girl looked realy confused and went away for a bit. When she came back she said “You want 9 chicken nugget meals?”. She was Polish or something and we frantically tried to explain that we did not want 9 chicken nugget meals. We thought we’d got through but then she asked what drinks would we like and we said coke, and she asked “9 cokes?”.
In the end we had to be really patronising and practically spell it out for her while counting on our fingers. When the penny finally dropped she was so embarrassed and I think half the kitchen staff ended up gathered round the order window laughing. They must have been just out of sight listening to the whole thing.
It was hilarious, but I can imagine so many customers not seeing the funny side. Any excuse to get angry.
Anyway, if you would like to see more unseen, not on dvd Jackass footage then go to jackassworld.com.
(Yes, I’m shamelessly promoting their website because they’re going to get shut down if they don’t get more visitors. Jackass makes me laugh no-matter what kind of day I’ve had.)

Mission #1
04/06/08 00:31 Filed in: Evidence!
Like Alice once said: “What is the use of a book without pictures?”; so what is the use of a blog complaining about customers without a little evidence to back it up. Last night while I was working a late and there were no customers about, I took a video of a lovely mess of tangled ribbon that customers had left me, along with a few surprises*. Unfortunately, I can only use my phone camera so sincerest apologies for the quality but you get the idea.
So from now on, whenever possible, I’l try and get pictures (at least) to shame those pesky customers who think it’s okay to break, smash, dump and mess things up in my department!
*Confetti, paintbrush, acrylic paint, “English Countryside” stamp.
The white discs and clear plastic round things are what remains of the ribbon spools.
