Angry Consumers Hit The Web!!

It looks like consumers are taking their complaints about crappy products, bad customer service -- or just major inconvenience -- to the web. And they're finding it to be an effective way to embarrass the companies who are responsible.

Michael Whitford had major problems with his new Apple Macbook, and posted a video about it (in which he destroys said Macbook) on consumerist.com. A few days later, Apple sent him a new computer.

His video is here

Robert McKee did a vid about the time he spent on a Delta plane, sitting on the tarmac, while the flight was delayed -- for seven hours!! He posted his vid on You Tube. Delta later gave the passengers $200 rebates.

This is his video (runs for seven minutes)

It looks like the web has become the international complaint desk for the fed-up consumers of the world. Smile

Bear and I were talking about this yesterday. Service is a lost art.

Our daughter works at Starbucks and was recently certified as a barista. A lady asked for an apple cider carmel something or other, daughter made it and presented it to the customer. The customer went way out of her way complimenting on how the service was excellent, the drink was the best she has ever had and she drinks these at Starbucks all over the country, and inquired as to how she could recognize daughter for such a great job.

The MANAGER kinda shrugged and pointed saying "You can fill out one of those slips and drop it in the box.

Later daughter asked what happens with the slip.

Manager said something to the effect of "It goes to the General Manager. Maybe now she'll have a better opinion of this store."

Huh? If the manager doesn't care, the only place for good service to come from is the pride of the individual worker in a job well done.

squiney and I have taught our cubs to do the best job possible every time and to do it for themselves, not for anyone else. Don't allow your name on a **** job.

Because of this, in the future their co-workers will call them names.

Mostly boss.
