loaf Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Two letters sum up the worst service ever - take your pick 'B.T. or M.T.' MT gets my vote too. In a professional capacity I have never been treated so badly by a supplier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ade Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Well in the same vein as Sydney's post, I'd like to say that with regards to Manx Telecom, some of the best service I've received has been from them. I've had a problem with my home ADSL which was dealt with promptly, including a home visit at a time that suited me. Also a problem with my mobile which resulted in one of the engineers taking time to come via my house on his way home to sort it out. On both occasions MT let me know what was happening with the query (like if someone else in another department had taken up the issue) and each time I received a follow up courtesy call to make sure everything was OK.

loaf Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I'd like to say that with regards to Manx Telecom, some of the best service I've received has been from them... It’s a matter of scale. If a telecoms company can’t get right fixing a mobile or a home ADSL connection it’d be like an electrician not being able to replace a lightbulb. Business needs are a little more demanding. That’s all I can say really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ade Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Or like an Estate Agents that can't even get selling/buying a house right. Which I have experienced. Unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahc Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 MT gets my vote for good service too! The two times they have been round were a weekday before 8am and a Saturday - both requested by me! Again I got follow up calls and helpful advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempus Fugit Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 on the other hand, what people in the service industies have to put up with.... Woman goes in shop to collect something being repaired, it having been left by husband. When asked for her repair ticket says that they weren't given one, it was just written on a piece of paper and put in a bag, which is not the procedure used by the shop, but despite this they search their records for an item as described, but nothing is found. Woman creates huge fuss in the shop in front of other customers before leaving threatening all sorts. Shop staff go to another shop nearby to ask if an item has possibly been left there, which it was. Phoned husband to tell them to try going back to the shop they left their stuff in next time, not a word of thanks, no apology for huge fuss in shop and false accusations or wasted time or even thanks for finding their goods for them. you can't win 'em all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonan3 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 An oft-told, though probably apocryphal, story: A man volunteers for service in 1939 and, after surviving the war, he's demobbed sometime in 1946. Trying on his best suit and being delighted to find that it still fits, he discovers a ticket in his inside pocket and recalls having put his best shoes in for repair shortly before signing up. Not really expecting that they'll still be there, he nips into Hudson's shoe repair shop in King Street and hands the ticket over without comment. The assistant glances at it, casts his eyes over the shelves behind him, and says: "They'll be ready next Tuesday, sir." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacqueline Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Heh.. that was one of my dad's favourite jokes. Thanks for reminding me. I put two pairs of curtains in for dry cleaning this week. It was £30 a pair to have them done. Went to pick them up today and had to listen to the assistant bleating that they came out of the drier very very creased and that they were very very hard to iron and that she only had a very very small iron to do them with and they took her a very very long time. I said I supposed that's why it was very very expensive to have them done then. She wasn't best pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahc Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 What is it about dry cleaners? I put a dress in one once (not on the Island). The assistant took a long time inspecting it and pointing out every piece of dirt on it, claiming that they might not get removed by the dry cleaning process. I asked them if there was any point in giving it to them seeing as they were unsure of whether their cleaning was any good. Cue blank look from assistant. I put it in anyway and it came back spotless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Tatlock Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 What's scientific about: Assistant: Next please Customer: Packet of fags please Assistant: £5.75 please Customer: Cheers on analysis...your shop scores 76.83%, which is 5% less than everyone else so you are shit.

Hugh Jampton Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 What has happened to our favourite man at the airport? Over the last couple of months of going through security taking most of my clothes off including wrist watch I used to look forward to sitting in front of the bar and watch our man perform. Even that little pleasure has been denied. Has he been promoted? Has anyone seen him outside of his workplace, he'd be easy to spot but I've never seen him.
