Hi Friends

Please read the emails exchanged between myself and xxxxxxxxxx.

It is very disappointing to know that they give their usual msg to their
customers' feedbacks. What is worse they even forwarded their internal
emails for me to read

This is an excellent example of what not to do.

Please forward this email to your friends for their reading.

Wonder if this will make it to the forum page?

Subject: Poor customer service at supermarket
Dear Sir/Mdm

I was at xxxxxxxx-Suntec City - on the night of 15/10/2006 to buy the
following items, a laptop, a fax machine, a DVD recorder and a roadbike.
I left with only the laptop and the DVD recorder. I did not buy the
roadbike because the staff serving me could not tell me the difference
between a $900 bike and a $300 bike except that they were both had
aluminium frame. I did not buy the fax machine because no one bother to
serve me despite standing at the fax machine section for 15 mins. I
approached a staff at the adjacent section selling telephone but all he
told me was the staff selling fax machine is not around and did not
offer any assistance.

On the 21/10/06 I returned to xxxxxxxx - Suntec City - to get a refund
for the laptop as I had discovered that the laptop only supported
Windows XP and could not be used to run my DOS programme. The salesman
who sold me the laptop 6 days earlier was very unhappy and refuses a
refund of the laptop citing various lame excuses. He finally agree to a
refund after I went through xxxxxxxx's refund policy with him. At this
point he make a photocopy of my identity card claiming the company's
need to track my refund history. I was outrage and disappointed at being
treated like a criminal and asked for the duty manager. The duty manager
arrived and agreed that it was not xxxxxxxx's policy to make photocopy
of customer's IC but he was no better than the salesman for he wanted to
take down my particular's instead.

I am very disappointed with the xxxxxxxx staff, from the lack of
product knowledge to the lack of service and finally to their staff's
attitude of negating on the company's promise of a refund if goods were
returned intact. They should not bother to track my refund history as I
will not be shopping there anymore.

By reading the original complaint letter. Its obviously a retard

Why?

I was at xxxxxxxx-Suntec City - on the night of 15/10/2006 to buy the
following items, a laptop, a fax machine, a DVD recorder and a roadbike.

A smart shopper would get a Laptop at a proper computer store.

A smart shopper would get both a fax machine & a DVD recorder at a proper electrical store.

A smart shopper would get a decent bicycle at a proper bicycle store.

I think we all know which supermarket this letter is talking about so items there usually are not in the High Quality index and sometimes High Priced.

On the 21/10/06 I returned to xxxxxxxx - Suntec City - to get a refund
for the laptop as I had discovered that the laptop only supported
Windows XP and could not be used to run my DOS programme.

We all know we can't run DOS programs on Windows XP in the first place.

That being said there is a program that emulates DOS on Windows XP

http://dosbox.sourceforge.net

If he was even smart enough to check around. He wouldn't have had to refund the laptop.

The salesman
who sold me the laptop 6 days earlier was very unhappy and refuses a
refund of the laptop citing various lame excuses. He finally agree to a
refund after I went through xxxxxxxx's refund policy with him.

Of course the salesman was pissed at the fact that he wanted a refund for a perfectly ok laptop that supposedly can't run DOS.

At this
point he make a photocopy of my identity card claiming the company's
need to track my refund history. I was outrage and disappointed at being
treated like a criminal

How is taking IC to photocopy being equal to treated like a criminal?

company's promise of a refund if goods were
returned intact.

Refund only covers if said product was faulty in the first place. Returning it just because he felt like it doesn't cut it.

They should not bother to track my refund history as I
will not be shopping there anymore.

Waaaahhh Waaaaahhh Give Baby a lolipop!

Retard Meter = OFF THE CHART!
