In reply to the discussion: had a fight in a dunkin' donuts [View all]calimary
(81,521 posts)ma 'n' pa donut shop or bakery. Better than some big corporate chain, that's probably owned by Bain.
My bank used to have Pox Noise playing on its in-branch monitors. I complained several times - to the teller who helped me and to the manager at the far end of the room at one of the business desks. I'm a retired journalist. Their brand of alleged "journalism" offends me deeply!!!
Eventually they changed it to CNBC. Then I went in and thanked them, saying it was noticed and appreciated.
Sometimes it really does make a difference to complain. ESPECIALLY if you're a regular customer. Times are still tough. They don't DARE wanna piss off anybody and risk losing a customer. It's not a risk that too many of them can afford to take anymore.
I ALWAYS complain.
NEVER be afraid to complain. Sometimes they just didn't think it through before you brought something offensive like that to their attention, or it simply didn't occur to them. And if they're assholes and don't comply, then at least you've let them know that this is greatly displeasing to YOU, THEIR CUSTOMER, and that not everybody they hope to serve will appreciate this shit. Whether they appreciate your opinion or not, they STILL appreciate your coming in and spending your money. What if you stopped?
If they think you don't care, THEY WON'T EITHER!!!!
