If I don't pick up, she leaves a message. And calls back again the following day.<br /><br />My dealer's great - the staff are courteous, they have free Wi-Fi and coffee in the waiting area, they offer shuttle service to and from the train station. The only thing that would keep me from giving them a 5-star rating is how annoying the surveys asking me to rate them are.<br /><br />Getting feedback is fine.

This annoys me every time I am asked to leave feedback--to the extent that I sometimes just ignore the request, even though the service was "excellent."bibliophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07593409179504396147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811866763970314328.post-84653269050767525112012-07-03T10:33:02.449-04:002012-07-03T10:33:02.449-04:00Funny, this never bothered me.

I usually wait till several items have accumulated, type "Item arrived promptly in promised condition" for the first one, then copy-and-paste for the others. It's an easy enough little pat on the back.Languagehathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13285708503881129380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811866763970314328.post-44966178581672607112012-07-03T09:46:53.869-04:002012-07-03T09:46:53.869-04:00I make a point of writing a comment that firstly e...I make a point of writing a comment that firstly expresses my satisfaction/dissatisfaction with the service, and which then goes in to more detail, explaining how superfluous, inconveniencing, and irritating I think the feedback *requirement* is.<br /><br />Having the option to write feedback, I think, is a good thing. Making it a mandatory field, however, is not.Hermhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02737378892480531236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811866763970314328.post-77583398453802145462012-07-03T08:58:45.957-04:002012-07-03T08:58:45.957-04:00"You like me?

A+++++ Come back again! Fast payment!!!!!!!! PROMPT!! ***" (an actual piece of feedback I recently received for buying a three-dollar USB cable and paying for it immediately). <br /><br />This isn't real feedback—it's just meaningless noise. I really hope Amazon doesn't go down that road.Jonathonhttp://www.arrantpedantry.comnoreply@blogger.com
