Consumer Care Lines
Posted: Fri May 30, 2003 9:19 pm
I am sure you have all noticed these on products that we buy. My question is why do they bother? Its all hype to make the company seem to give a fuck.
I once had to phone one after I ate a bag of crisps and later heard on the TV and radio that the bag I ate came from a batch contaminated with broken glass. I will not mention the brand but think of a footballer with big ears from Leics who used to play in Japan and you will understand which crisp firm I am on about. ( Salt and Lin.... flavour were not affected only Cheese & Onion). Anyway I phoned the "consumer care line" and was confronted by a recorded message saying something along the lines that broken glass isnt harmfull, if my belly hurts go to my doctor, and I should not have even rang them??!!
Tomorrow I intend phoning the "consumer care line" of Scottish & Newcastle and demanding they do something about my hangover. But I bet I will only get an ansa-phone. Chattes.
