It is an animated commercial with some librarian type droning on and on. After awhile it acquires a kind of hypnotic effect.

When you pay a large premium to have sausages in your Watties spaghetti, but there are only four of them in the whole tin. 

 

ROFL. Next you will tell me you put canned spaghetti with sausages on a flat breat and call it "pepperoni pizza".

Having travelled extensively overseas domestic anz is better than many internal airlines.

I'm a little curious as to what other "service" do you think they should be providing that equivalent airlines in countries with our population/size provide?

 

A.

I have also travelled extensively overseas. A race to the bottom doesn't make them any better. They are inflexible and unresponsive to their customers, amongst other things. They also hang on to other people's money when refunds inconvenience them. They charge extortionate fares wherever they can get away with it, and try to obscure this by doling out a few cut-rate seats they can't fill anyway. I could go on.

Goddamned institutional voicemail systems. I am involved with someone requiring ongoing home health care. Every time something goes wrong (nearly a daily occurrence), I have to contact a health centre, home care provider, or similar organisation. All of these have wrapped themselves in multiple layers of automated systems, making them nearly impossible to reach. Call someone, bot answers with the inevitable menu, make a choice, another bot makes you hold forever while it screams tinny radio music in your ear. How in the hell is this supposed to help people who are already vulnerable? What kinds of idiots choose these systems? Why don't they just hire more goddamned people to answer the f-ing phones?

At the very least, they should let you set up a callback instead of having to sit there listening to the din.

We know busy people make mistakes. So we looked into the kinds of claims our customers made. Turns out, the unpredictable is fairly predictable. People are more likely to make the same mistakes on certain days of the week.

 

 

On Mondays we are more likely to flood homes. On Tuesdays we’re more likely to have a ding in the supermarket carpark. And Wednesdays we’re more likely to lose wing mirrors. Ouch. Now we understand what mistakes are most common, we can help people make less of them.

When you purchase something from a retailer on Trademe and apart from an email saying they will let you know when it is despatched, 5 days later = Nothing heard!

From their website.... "We are your local independent. Many people incorrectly believe that the big corporate retailer will give you a better deal. We love to expose that myth. Our range is massive and growing daily, our prices are competitive, if not better, plus we give the service only local independent retailers can."

The bold bit (By me) does not bode well for local independent retailers!

That reads a bit like a "mission statement". Hold a meeting, argue about what the hell the purpose of your business was, write it up, print it on a4 paper, put it in a nice frame, hang it in the reception area, then forget about it.

Bolded the relevant bit :-)
