Customer Service

Postby SheepShagginRover » Mon Dec 28, 2009 9:51 pm

Customer service in this country is apalling. Today I was out shopping with friends and on the back of my bus ticket (a pricey £5 day ticket) there was a special offer - £2 off popcorn at Odean cinemas. As I was going to the cinema anyway I decided to use it. When I got to the kiosk and bought my popcorn the sonofabitch refused to give me my bus ticket back. I explained to him it was my bus ticket and I needed it to get home but the guy just shrugged and told me to move along. I tried asking again but was ignored. I therefore had to fork out for another 2 single tickets (one to get to an out of town shopping centre, another to get home which totalled £4). :xxx: :xxx: :xxx: :xxx: :xxx:

You come on the forum today to talk about this but don't talk about the match? :lol:

The 2 things you should take away from this experience are:

1) Special offers need to go fuck themselves
2) Public transport = fail

Not a regular taxi, but one of those bus/van taxi things would do it.

It wouldn't cost much if you all chipped in.

Phone up the taxi place and tell them you need a taxi for 6 people.

Actually, couldn't you have just found half a dozen sheep and rode them? :D
