Now That's Customer Service!


I am absolutely delighted. Never in my life would I have expected such a high standard of service from Giant Supermarket.
See, last week on Monday, I was over at a shopping complex for lunch. After that, some colleagues and I headed down to the Giant Supermarket at the lower ground floor of the complex, to buy some food stuff for those late nights in the office. Or for those times where our brains are at a deadlock, and junk food serves to revive it somehow. Usually after lunch anyways.
While we were browsing, I came across a big sign that promotes an inflatable pool for kiddies for only RM9.99! Well, I couldn't possibly do anything more than to just my ankles in that pool, but it would be real fun for Joey and Cody.
AaaahhHHhhh, just imagine that.....



So, on Thursday I went back to the place to purchase it.
Lo and behold, as with usual Malaysian shopping experiences (I'm very patriotic I know) the cashier rung up RM24.99 instead of RM9.99! Boy, was I pissed.
To top it all off, instead of apologizing for their mistake, they quickly took the wrong sign down, and the cashier asked me, "Jadi, ini mau bayar ke mau cancel?"
...to which I was dumbfounded, "Tapi...sana you punya harga kata RM9.99..."
And her reply was the ever so classic. "Itu bukan salah kita!"
My colleague, who also wanted one of those inflatable pool, asked her, "Jadi ini salah masyarakat ah?"
So I courteously replied, "Tak apalah, bukan salah you, bukan salah saya jugak. Saya pergi complain saja."
And we walked off.
Fuming all the way back to the office, I schemed.
And so.....
I called the manager of that branch and demanded that they honour the price I saw, failing which, I will drop by at the Consumer's Association for a visit.
Not only was the Manager, Mr Lingam, totally polite and apologetic, he also offered to sell the pool to me at the indicated price!
Now that, ladies and gentlemen, is exemplary conduct.

So now..... someone's having a good time.....




*Joey however, feels rather differently. She totally screamed, "I'm gonna drown!I'm gonna drown!"
