Argos driver urinating in my garden - how can I get my complaint taken seriously?

Is it really that bad? Maybe he was just caught short and had to go. If he been p*****g thru you letterbox I'd understand your concern, but a quick one in the garden?

Let it go. You've better things to spend your time on.

I do like the idea of dumping outside the argos store though.

Well bully for you.

I reckon this whole thread was just a pi** take anyway.

Some folk must lead very shallow lives if all they get worked up about is a driver having a pee.

Oh well, it takes all sorts, as they say..

I am still not quite sure what this rubbish has to do with Money Saving.. :rolleyes:

Get one of these for your garden

I think you are right to complain - dirty dog! You should get some vouchers or something - I don't see why you should put up with that! I would email AND put a letter in the post - which they have to sign for.

I had a complaint with Argos recently. (Nothing like yours! But same procedure) I took a faulty/dangerous item back. I was refunded in full-part giftcard, part debit card.. The replacement product I wanted was not in stock. (Pushchair) I tried to manage 4 kids and a baby round town with little success and felt forced to reluctantly purchase a cr*p buggy.(I had limited budget and needed to use the giftcard towards the cost of a buggy.
Long story, cut short.(sorry!) Bought the cak buggy went home and felt really annoyed.
Not really anyone's fault but really annoyed that I had bought something I didn't want at all (bearing in mind the returned item had a dangerous fault). So I phoned customer care. I chatted with a girl for quite sometime. She said 'sorry, nothing I can do, take the buggy back and get a refund' I said 'I can't, I've used it, and don't have the box, it's instore' etc etc. She said again there was nothing she could do. I demanded to speak to somebody who could manage customer complaints effectively. She ummed and ahhed.
Then I was put through to a lovely lady (not arsy and rude at all) she apologised for the inconvenience I had suffered and asked if a £20 gift voucher would be appropriate as a gesture of goodwill.
I was quite pleased really!
(then the buggy broke and was returned anyway-soon to appear on whatsgoingcheap.com I expect!)

So, in a longwinded way, I am advising you to call customer services and ask to speak to a complaints manager, or senior customer care officer. The people who answer the phones have no real authority or power.

Hi, Not being funny. But hat was that Argos actually did wrong here?

I can't believe so many people seem to see this as being acceptable.

I'm also not sure what the "peeing in public" has to do with things...it wouldn't be the "public" aspect of it that worried me, it would be the "my garden" thing (which, last time I checked, wasn't a public space...)

Aside from the fact that it's really disgusting, surely it can't be legal just to wander into somebodys garden and pee over stuff?

I paid for my grass, my plants, my plantpots etc etc and as such it's my stuff. Weeing over other peoples stuff is not really on...how would everyone feel if the driver popped into the porch to relieve himself, or the front room. I don't really see it as being much different. My garden is my private space, just like my house...and I'm struggling to think of many worse violations of that privacy than peeing over it...

A) their driver relieved himself in someones front garden
(you can't say that's just down to the driver - otherwise companies would never be held responsible for anything...)

Failed to act on a complaint.

we are talking about a driver having a leak, that's all, lets keep things in perspective

In broad daylight when there are children around this is bad.
(It would have been a bit different if he'd made attempts to hide).

For future reference I would note down the vehicle registration number and that way it can be pursued.
For various reasons Argos will have records of who was driving which vehicle so this would allow both Argos and the police to investigate.

Sometimes if you "have to go" you "have to go" and can't wait 5 minutes to get to the supermarket.
Perhaps the poor guy has some medical condition like prostate trouble.

However I can't understand why he didn't make some attempt to find a better place.

Good joke, unless of course you were walking at 6 months and playing the piano at 12 months!!!!
