DCW Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Our new manager says 'pacifically' when he means 'specifically' and I've already lost all respect for him. I also can't focus on anything that's being said at meetings cos I'm just waiting for him to say it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other day he told our team we "blew it out of the park" which I giggled at for ages. "Fresh of breath air" was another, but he's a good lad, so its acceptable.

Keith Houchen Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 People who seem to think that because a famous person hasn’t tweeted or posted about a particular issue, it means they don’t care or aren’t bothered. Doubly so if famous person doesn’t use social media that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted June 26, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted June 26, 2022 Peoples sense of entitlement to free delivery when it comes to online retail. “Because I’ve spent X with you my delivery should be free!” You’re right. Just because you’ve paid for the materials and labour to cover the product and provide the business a margin they justify for their survival, they DEFINITELY should cover the cost of getting the item to you. Regardless of the fact the cost of doing that for every customer becomes a huge financial burden very quickly and not everyone makes the margin Amazon or eBay do. If every small-medium business gave you free delivery a lot of them would go bump and if they worked delivery costs into the unit prices you probably wouldn’t get as far as creating a basket to begin with. Stop being so fucking entitled, Karen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop being so fucking entitled, Karen. I work in retail where people are allowed to return things they’ve bought online to store. They get free delivery once they’ve spent a certain amount. Nothing wrong with that in and of itself, it’s a clever trick to get people spending more, but the amount of times you have the argument about why they only get refunded for what the items they’ve bought and not the postage when they don’t pass that free delivery threshold - “But I’ve paid £3.99 delivery, I want that back as well” ”But you didn’t get free delivery. The items were delivered to you, you choosing to return them doesn’t change that” ”Well that’s bloody ridiculous” ”Why is it? How do you think the postage system is funded to operate? Things arn’t just getting moved around the country for free” ”Well, it’s the principle of the matter” That last line gets chucked out quite often, usually indicative of the person having nothing else in their arsenal. Obviously I’m not that devil may care. When I was younger maybe but the conversation is much more diplomatic now, but they’ll stand there arguing to get a couple of quid back because “it’s the principle”, and then won’t think twice about going and spend £3 or £4 at the Costa four doors down and buy a coffee that tastes like cat piss. Theres also this classic, usually when somethings “faulty” and well past the return date- “I’d like to return this that I bought 8 months ago, it’s faulty” *before any checks of faults even occur* ”OK, have you got your receipt?” ”No” ”Have you got the price ticket that came with the item?” ”No” ”Well then I’m not going to be able to return it” ”well why not?” ”Because you haven’t got any proof of purchase. I need to know when it was bought, how much you paid for it, how you paid for it so I can refund the same way” ”Well I definitely paid £X for it” ”But I need proof of that, that’s why it’s a ‘proof of purchase’, I can’t just give you £X because you said you paid that” ”Well I want my money back” ”But you haven’t got anything showing me how much you paid for it” ”But I paid £X for it” ”Then show me that” ”But I haven’t got a receipt” ”I know, that’s the problem” ”well I want my money back” and so on and so on.

I tried not to buy into it, but my last customer who was a Karen was one of the most ridiculously demanding and pendantic I’ve encountered in 8 years in the job, so unfortunately I think it’s stuck.

Mr_Danger Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 The Karen stereotype is odd because having worked in customer facing roles most of my working life the blokes complaining are just as proportional to the women and in my current job i’d say they outnumber them quite considerably.
