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:::::::::::

  • Based on the reaction of corporate mascot, voicing criticism by the customers was the act of criticizing with prejudice, that's not professional...


    That's a pretty big assumption. What's to say Ronnie wasn't just having a bad day and went berserk?Smiley

    ... and to further push the point, Ronnie is the professional, regardless of what a customer says to him (profanity excluded), he is to maintain his composure. If he loses his cool, he puts the whole corporation at risk to a lawsuit.
  • long time ago, my boss appointed me to look for a cmm that fits our needs i was interested on one particular model so i personally contacted a salesman…everything went well until the day that the 2 salesmen showed up for a demo, hardware options and pricing which my boss have to get involve…. During the demo my boss had to walk away to answer a call. While my boss was gone, the salesmen talk to each other that i am not the one that makes the decision my boss is (repeatedly) without any regards of my present. They ignored me from that point on… they were wrong, the budget is readily available for the purchase and i was the one to say which one to buy, my boss have no knowledge of dcc cmm’s.

    As soon as my boss came back, the two jerks hopped out of their seats with big grin across their faces greeting my boss. Before they could even say anything to my boss, i pointed at the salesmen and i said to my boss “i don’t want to do business with these a$$holes”, my boss knows me well enough…he escorted both of them out the door...That’s my pee-on story.

    As is evident by these statements, quite to the contrary, you are "The Man".

    I thought you knew.
    "We are just the pee-on’s man" is a sarcasm statement.

    No, it’s not a big assumption. I throw it in there just to be “safe”, but I guess it didn’t fly for you either way. In general, the term “criticism” associated with prejudice/adversity…but it’s OK that you think otherwise…I understand.Sunglasses
  • wow. i definitely gotta work on my analogy/sarcasm skills.
    in retrospect, however, the whole banning/deleting posts thing went overboard.
    that was my opinion, and it still is.
