Visiting Rotovegas, go to the Countdown to buy a bottle of wine. Good selection of chilled wine for once, but the chiller is down and the bottles are at ambient temperature.

So, because I'm a nice guy, I approach one of the staff to tell them as I'm leaving, not having bought anything.

No interest, she just said, "I'll tell someone". The chiller must have been off for hours. Lucky it wasn't food!

Well, if you don't give a shit, neither do I.

Total disinterest, "I'll tell someone".

If minimum wage increases he still wont give a shit. The price of warm wine will just increase.

wait, so your average customer service experience in one store on one day equates to a systemic damnation of an entire business that turns over hundreds of millions a year in UnZud?

What the fuck are you on, I want it.

I'd have thought total disinterest would be along the lines of "Tell someone who gives a crap" or "Whatever mate..." rather than what you wrote they said.

Pretty much explains why Yamaha dealers are a minority these days.

Yeah ... To be fair, this wasn't typical of my experience of Countdown staff.

But our local is a Paknsave, and the staff are always helpful and polite.

In ten years there will be no staff at supermarkets and lots of other places it will be all AI.

AI is about where the internet was in 1995....scary shit.

When I'm old a robot will be wiping my dribble and other things....:eek:

A. The chiller was down, what the fuck did you want him to do? fix the chiller on the spot, or take them home to his place & chill them down for you?
B. Why the fuck did you waste your breath on the second part.
I think someone needs a reality check on how self important they are.

You clearly don't give a shit about good English either. Uninterested = not interested. Disinterested = independent or neutral .

Just sayin' :bleh:

The wine was at room temperature, so the chiller had been down for some time. Lucky it wasn't a food chiller.

I didn't expect them to do anything obviously, so don't know what you're on about.

It's just a rant mate, not meant to be taken seriously.

Yeah, nah, based on my complete lack of evidence it's clearly Aussie subsidiary company bashing and generalisation plus all R1 riders are troublemakers...

10-1 All units, 1C behaviour, disgruntled customer complained about cheap wine not being chilled, left store after confronting staff...

If you really want to excite supermarket staff make sure you get a receipt at fireworks time. Checkout lady was aghast when I said i'll be returning them if they don't go off properly lol You cant bring them back, Oh yes I will lol

Axley is right, if your unfertilised egg leaving your body is happening, posting on the internet is not a good idea.:msn-wink:

Suggest not buying said bottle of ambient temperature Marborough Sav and going for a ride on your bike , or failing that the

next best thing, a Mitsi Magna phat ride...:hug:

Disinterest can also mean to have no interest in a particular venture:

Geoff replied that he had total disinterest in Vauxhall Motors as he had sold his shares when they reached the heady price of 4/6.

So, perhaps, the young lady did have total disinterest...

Just saying... :bleh: :bleh:



PS How's the fishing lately?

Mark,
I'm uninterested in Vauxhalls, haha :laugh:

No time for fishing at present. Had the boat out once this year. Setting up the Central North Island IAM taking up heaps of time. Has been really paying off though.

I thought drinking cheap red wine (Velito Rosso) from my Bota bag while riding between parties on my old choppers made me feel all funny... Phew - I thought it might have been the booze but no - it was just teen age gender confusion....
