The business intellect of kiwis

You need to narrow it down further mate.

You don't mean the Goldstein bank do you?

Fucking animals!!!

Animals were cute until Telecom beat us to death with them over a 10yr period.

That fucken horse is the last straw. The sooner we destroy their habitats and drive the lot of them to extinction the less bloody animal adds the better.

But in most cases, it just isnt enough...You need other ingredients as well to ensure good customer service happens throughout the business and on the frontline.

Oh, I wasn't even thinking about customer care in the above post. It was only a reaction to the "it ought to be harder to start up a new business" comments further back.

Customer service usually isn't an issue in very small companies. If you're dealing with the owner of a company I doubt you'll get a shitty treatment.
Customer care and logistics would be growing pains for a successful business in the expanding phase I would expect. The problem arises when you go looking for employees at the lowest possible wage - you're likely to pickup a few lackluster incompetents who don't give a shit about anything but their salary and coffee-breaks.

Hopefully it will have the added benefit of getting horse-float trailers off of the roads.
A horse is a form of transport. Ride the bastards, don't drag them behind a pajero!

AH Franks have just come to the party with a very good deal to see me back there. The boss man just called me and sorted it out.

There's hope at last.

You're jokin aintchya Jeff? Spoke to 6 garages up your end of the Coro (2 mobile)about checking out a vehicle in Coro town. Told them that of course I'd pay mileage and for their time up front. 1 said too busy, 1 said they couldn't do it for 3 weeks. Fair enough. Of the other 4, typical response was "I'll call you in 10 minutes" or "will speak to the boss". NONE of them called me back. I mean like...WTF?

Good tradesmen around here are like gold-dust. When they're found everybody uses them so they're really really busy. I hate to say it but the majority are utterly hopeless when it comes to customer service.

Not joking but you're not getting any service because no-one can understand your accent

If ya don't like it, then go buy it elsewhere and quit ya whining.

I did go somewhere else, but discovered they're all much the same. Now, whenever possible, I go direct overseas where they generally know what service & supply chain logistics are. Of course, then the local crooks and 'buy NZ made' fucktards start bleating about that 'ruining their business'. Funny thing is, they're ruining their own businesses through their indifference to the needs of the customer.

If you want a package with everything in the same box,then go buy one. You will pay double the price, but you get one or the other - NOT BOTH.

What?

I've been in retail for 20 years, and I tried fucken hard but I STILL get some moaning bitch every week who wants this for free, or fucken that for free, or wants to crunch some three-for-one deal into a fucken FIVE-for-one deal! I do not think so.

So, politely say so. I reserve the right to barter.

Consumers need to understand something: If you want retailers to suck your cock, then you have to PAY THEM A LOT MORE THAN RETAIL PRICE. If you don't like it, then go to the back of the queue. NEXT! We have more to do looking after people who PAY WELL, than those who want everything for nothing. We are here to MAKE MONEY, not kiss your ass.

How much must we pay for them to just do their fucking job properly? If they put as much effort into doing their job as they do into avoiding doing their job, there would be no issue.
