A trip to McDonalds.....

i think i read this somewhere on the web:

"Once upon a time, some customers went to McDonalds. Courteously served via the drive-thru, upon arriving home and sampling the food, they found the food was not as expected nor as promised. Sadly, returning to the restaurant, and voicing criticism of their purchased products, these customers were villified by the restaurant employees, and were then set upon by someone dressed as the corporate mascot (Ronald McDonald) who proceeded to kick them in the collective groin, and admonish them that they were no longer allowed on McDonalds property.
But there was hope!
They were told, should they decide to only offer praise of the products, or complain ONLY via the proper corporate channels, then they (the customers) could come back and resume enjoying the benefits that McDonalds food products had to offer.
Many thought it a bit strange that a large corporation like McDonalds would not listen to it's customers. Most thought it was the customer criticism, not the praise, that would help drive McDonalds to create a better product in the future."

now if only i could get a big mac with extra pickles:::::::::::

  • A paying customer deserves nothing but the best of treatment.. they are a paying customer and deserve to get what they pay for. Voicing criticism and expressing their concern in a professional manner are one in the same. No one ever said they did it in an unprofessional manner or abusively. If you can't criticize a company for their mistakes, nothing will ever get fixed. This is America, free speech, tell them what is wrong! Plus, a really good company wants the criticism, it's part of their Quality Management System.

    As for customers, really? If I am performing an operation on a part and there are further operations downstream, aren't those downstream my customers? I am a customer of the opertor before me and expect that his process is completed properly so that I can do the same with my operation. This is the problem with our culture, nobody seems to care about the next person in line, or the customer, after all, I got my money!

    Let me ask... I would like to know which part of my statement you responded "You are entitled to your opinion." Just curious.
