You all know the ice cream company? Very expensive ice cream, which I recently discovered in small tubs at my local supermarket. I'd heard about Salted Caramel ice cream, with some bloggers raving about it, so when I saw the Haagen-Dazs tubs on sale for only $5 I bought some. I loved it! Fabulous stuff. Just the right amount of salted caramel streams to counteract the sweet ice cream. I would have rated it five stars. But just lately, I have been disappointed with the product containing far too much of the salted caramel and my rating now would be only one star. I went to the website and clicked on "contact us" to let them know I was no longer happy. The link popped up with an address to "General Mills" which I then clicked on only to find a small popup informing me they were "offline". Just because it is past regular business hours or permanently? Who knows. So I'm airing my grievance here instead. If this results in fewer sales of their Sa
That's pretty gruesome, actually. I treasure how quickly our emergency services respond to a call.
ReplyDeleteThat got a laugh, fortunately most emergency services are better than that.
ReplyDeleteFunny--unless you're the one in the queue!!
ReplyDeleteSigh on the phone queue front. And relief that our emergency services ARE quicker to answer. Not necessarily to attend, but quicker to answer.
ReplyDeleteWhen I have to make one of those calls I make sure I go to the toilet first and I make a picnic lunch pack to have alongside me.
ReplyDeleteJoanne; yes, our services are pretty quick off the mark too.
ReplyDeletejoeh; yes they are.
fishducky; I hate phone queues, I always search for an email option instead. For emergency services I phone 000, because they're really quick to answer.
Elephant's Child; I've found that police answer and attend really quickly, ambulance too. I've never needed to call the fire brigade, but I'd hope they'd be just as speedy. Things like burst water mains are a different matter entirely. SA water should hang its head in shame.
Lee; I call first, then go to the toilet, if I'm calling 000. For everything else I search for an email option, send them an enquiry or maybe a complaint and get on with my day. With only a pre-paid mobile available, I just can't afford to be wasting my credit in a queue.
What can I say, very funny but maybe not if you were the one doing the calling.
ReplyDeleteMerle.........
At least the call was in English...
ReplyDeleteMerle; definitely not funny if you're the one calling.
ReplyDeleteHappy Elf Christine; most emergency services calls are local so they would be in English.
Oh dear - the long phone queue.
ReplyDeleteI fucking hate how I can no longer pretend I have a rotary phone and stay on hold until I get a person with some of these places.
ReplyDeleteThe phone queue with bad music that loops: that is the worst.
