    Why Oz businesses fail in NZ

    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....

    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'

    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...
