Re: Shop Locally - What A Joke!!!
 

Garinda, you have taken what i said as an insult me thinks!. Not my intention as i was merely trying to convey then point that not all insurance companies replace items directly and that if the salesman thought what you had written about insurance companies just sending me out the power tools was correct. Then yes i can see his point in his attitude. However for the Forum User know as Less, i think you a right idiot as they say locally.

Re: Shop Locally - What A Joke!!!
 

....and the other two firms, you sought quotes from, what will they get for their efforts?

:rolleyes:

Re: Shop Locally - What A Joke!!!
 

Garinda, i think its great that people "stick" up for local firms, but cant i say that i found there service poor?. surely i can without being attacked my a few people saying the service is great and this guy must be a moaner with nothing more to do?.

Lets clarify exactly the point i was trying to make, on the day i went in, the service was terrible.

Speculate all you want on why and then come to the conclusion is was my attitude that was in fact the problem, but when all is said and done. Its only a point of view, ill shop somewhere else, you will continue to use them. Its freedom of choice.

Re: Shop Locally - What A Joke!!!
 

Nothing at all, you are totally right. Some people blame Gordon Brown, others the French but you have now solved the question of why we are in recession. TJH goes around getting quotes from nation firms and then spends the money locally!!!. Do we still have stocks in Accrington?, maybe you could throw rotten food at me for my crimes against shop staff?

You're absolutely correct in that it is a selfish and simple statement of mine, though simple minded? Pathetic?
No way, I don't want you in front of me in the engineering retailers upsetting the staff with your high and mighty attitude ruining their day and wasting the time of genuine customers stuck behind you.
You now say there wasn't a Manager in the shop, (that wasn't in the first post), however before coming on here and slagging them off I suspect any reasonable person would have called back when there was a Manager present and would have had a far more positive response than you got from the assistant that let you and the shop down.

Re: Shop Locally - What A Joke!!!
 

Less, Garinda. You both win, ill take my attitude and leave Accyweb. I would ask members look back at all my posts. You will see they have all be posted to help people and advise on local issues. I don't post often, only when i have a problem or advice. But ill leave it to the above members. I don't see why i should argue to say i had bad service or receive grief for my efforts. A local forum for local forum? no a local forum for bullied kids who now feel its there turn to verbally attack anyone who's "face" does not fit. I can only be grateful for the nice comments ive had over the past few years and i hope with hind sight my actions were rash. But although ill not be missed, i will feel i have lost resource for public information

Re: Shop Locally - What A Joke!!!
 

I'm not 'sticking up for them'.

Like you, I'm just giving my take, on the level of customer service, I found in there.

Which in my experience was very good.

Hence no moaning from me, and it seems no one else on here, besides yourself.

As stated earlier, in a similar position to yourself, I didn't have any problems, and found people very willing to help me.

Probably benefited from having the right attitude, when seeking assistance from others.

:rolleyes:

Re: Shop Locally - What A Joke!!!
 

A moaner, unable to take criticism, and now playing the victim card.

Full house.

Well done.

You've been able to publicly name and shame a local firm, who you thought provided bad service to you.

Others, have given their experiences, which seem at odds with your's.

It's called balance.

Leave, don't leave. I care not.

Perhaps you can also claim for a new dummy.

As an essential tool of your trade.

:dummy2:

Yes, a moaner as can be seen from the above quote I wasn't exactly defending the assistant, just criticising the fact that the shop was condemned for one incident that wasn't followed up by the moaner to rectify this lack of service.
One bad apple etc.
That doesn't mean the whole company or it's staff should be condemned, if by expressing my thoughts to the 'victim' of this horrendous act I am now a bully then a bully I shall remain, (I find sack cloth and ashes too tedious to wear so won't be recanting anything).

Re: Shop Locally - What A Joke!!!
 

Ya but he'll have to be careful where he goes to purchase one, the staff may not be up to scratch:rolleyes:

Re: Shop Locally - What A Joke!!!
 

Ya like I said earlier in the thread I had a problem about one useless employee at a store in town, but didn't blame the store and was more than satisfied with the service I recieved from the manager, I just find it a little strange that somebody in employment would take this route to hand in their notice:confused:

Re: Shop Locally - What A Joke!!!
 

It wasn't just the one shop that got critiscised, it was all the town's businesses. Without looking back was something like, 'Typical of whats wrong with Accrington' :mad:

Re: Shop Locally - What A Joke!!!
 

Yup.

Everything in Accy is bad, because of this one incident.

Whereas everything in Nelson is just peachy, apparently.

One bad apple, and all that, means some would like to tarnish your own business Dave.

Sorry about that.

Yes Dave and for my oversight I humbly apologise, after all just like everyone except the thread starter, nobody's perfect!

Re: Shop Locally - What A Joke!!!
 

Having escaped the dark life of Nelson for the sunnier climate of Accrington I know the truth :D:D:D:D:D
