Comments on: Have you been receiving “world-class” customer service from your service provider? http://www.ideacouture.com/blog/2009/06/25/have-you-been-receiving-world-class-customer-service-from-your-service-provider/ Wed, 04 Jan 2012 20:22:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Marek http://www.ideacouture.com/blog/2009/06/25/have-you-been-receiving-world-class-customer-service-from-your-service-provider/comment-page-1/#comment-426 Marek Thu, 14 Jan 2010 07:41:49 +0000 http://ideacouture.com/blog/?p=1699#comment-426 I'd like to add my own recent experiences rather than comment here. Similar occurences happened to me but now (or so it appears to me) there are couple of new developments in my area: Wal-Mart in Toronto Ontario now considers ALL of its customers as thieves. Once you've paid for your purchase, you get to be approached at the door on the way out of the store (past the cashier where you were seen paying for the goods) and searched - your items are individually scrutinized and compared against the list on the receipt. These rude halfwits suspect everyone. As a side note, it seems that all stores in Toronto also are under the impression that their customers ought to pay them to carry their advertisements around town. They make one pay for the shopping bags which are plastered with their logos. Arrogant bastards do not provide alternate paper bags but the plastic bags with advertisements (basically billboards) are for sale...

If you think of where we ten years ago, customer service has improved, no? Cultures vary, but overall we're doing okay. Good post -thank you.
