Sorry we can't control the weather, ma'am...

Heard this from a co-worker today, who was doing the Peapod yesterday (that's when we bring out orders that were done on-line by customers and load them into their vehicles), and some bitch had the gall to complain that it was too cold out, and it took too long (despite being a large order) for the back of her van to be kept open. Of course she complained to corporate, and of course she received a gift card for it.

And this was in OCTOBER. God know what we'll have to deal with in January and February.

I'm betting that this will lead to a memo about finding a way to get groceries loaded without opening doors...

Missile launcher on the roof, using GPS coordinates of an SC's house? Bonus is that ingredients will arrive pre-mixed for whatever recipe SC had in mind...

Some people need to be kicked in the gooch till they stop being that way.

Someone tried to get someone to change the date to his eclipse party. She tried to reschedule the Sun.

Please elaborate, catcul. I'd love to hear more.

Edit, never mind, found it. That's hysterical.

That would include the members of management who actually think whiners like this deserve any kind of "reward' for their whining.

Oh FFS. really? that's just ridiculous.

It's simple. Tell the customer she needs to buy a car, so that the trunk could be open without getting the driver cold. There, a solution. It's not a reasonable solution, but neither was the complaint.

[Buzzard]

Even with a car, with a sufficiently large trunk, there'd be the complaint about having to sit there with the car running, with the heater working... "Had to sit there so LONG, wasting gas..."

Ask me how I know. I dares ya.
*Looks at name of site again* Oh, wait, you've heard this one before.

As far as them getting a gift card "for complaining", my impression is that many companies will basically throw small stuff to anybody that takes the trouble to actually contact them. Usually it's coupons, but I could believe a small gift card.

And yet not me... I love the curbside service. But one time I had ordered some sliced deli meat and it was... shredded. Not in slices, and not like any deli meat I'd ever gotten before. It must have been the end of that piece of meat (?) or something was wrong with the cutter, I don't know. I do know if I had been in the store and saw that being weighed out for me, I would have refused it. When I did the survey I wrote in my problem, and checked the box that said to contact me.

...Nothing ever happened. I didn't want a coupon or gift card, I just wanted to let someone know what had happened because I was thinking maybe the comments wouldn't be read. Guess I was right! Anyway, I don't order sliced anything when I get curbside. If I ever did again I'd make the poor girl wait while I inspected it. She's nice, and I know it's not her fault of course.
