"Service"

Options
Why is it that service which does not meet, to the tiniest detail, the precise wants of the customer is poor/appalling/disgusting/[insert hyperbole of choice]

Some posters on here would go into a newsagent, ask to buy a car, and post on here that the newsagent didn't have one!

I find if expectations are reasonable, most retailers will want to be able to give you want you are after.

    Well said, far too many people moaning about nothing these days - they do my nut in.

    LOL. How ironic.

    Possibly this isn't the best forum for you to read.

    Is that a statement or a question - you seem a little confused. :)

    Anyway, most people should be able to use a modicum of intelligence to determine from the thread title the nature of the thread.

    Then they would be able to ignore those that they knew would annoy them rather than reading them and complaining afterwards thus saving time and effort and 'getting their nuts done in'.

    Simples!

    So is yours judging by your posting history, darling.

    evanjonesaber is right though - Azari rarely posts anything useful, he spends all his time being offensive towards people who dare to disagree with a customer complaint. I'm not suggesting we should all agree with each other, but it is quite possible to disagree and still be polite. This is something Azari seems incapable of doing.

    Says the person posting under a new login because they were PPRed on their previous one.

    Please link to which threads you feel do not make the grade. With the exception of the Subway troll, there really aren't that many.

    Not me. I do find it abominable though that car dealers don't sell newspapers.
