One problem, I already did that! Hey Matt Cutts/Vanessa Fox, if I already have an active Google Sitemap, er Webmaster Tool, how can you not know about all the pages of the site and give me an inaccurate message???
Costco (COST) – Needs Customer Focused Perspective – Post #2
On my last trip to Costco, September 3rd, I discussed some problems and things needing change.
My return visit today showed that they still haven’t changed any of the items mentioned, in fact some were worse today.
The Palmiers had not been restocked.
The romaine lettuce all had expiration dates two days from today. Being in a single person household, I don’t mind buying the six stalks, but I expect there to be stock that has expiration dates of at least a week from today at all times, I mean I’m not buying wilted lettuce from a half price store.
The cashier experience was again disappointing. Somebody in front of me had a paper check (why do they even still allow that at all?). The cashier then forgot to ring up the juice in my cart. Worse, there were long lines *again* due to not enough cashiers being open, yet there was an army of folks at the manager’s station. I mean every week this place acts surprised and like it’s a new experience to have customers come up the registers ten minutes after the store opens.
This store continues to be the most disorganized Costco I’ve ever visited, I wonder why they aren’t taking the customer feedback more seriously.
Danny Sullivan Seeks the Elusive “S. Larson”
Why is Citibank using a fake name in letters to people after all? It’s a good question…
Email crisis!!!
Yahoo! and Gmail both need to put work into their e-mail software. I’ve outlined this in previous posts.
Yesterday was the last straw though. My Yahoo! webmail lets spam through that it shouldn’t – all the time – while classifying real email as spam. Yet yesterday I was told that an email from a relatively new gmail account that I sent was classified as spam by a Yahoo! Mail account I sent it to. Gmail lets some spam through to my Inbox, while other e-mails not only haven’t made it to Inbox, they didn’t even go to the spam folder. Then inappropriately classifies one of my shared domain servers as spam.
Alright enough! How in the world is is anyone supposed to communicate in a reliable fashion? Maybe you guys should have some people work on fixing this stuff?
It’s a serious problem whether you are in London, New York, San Francisco or Singapore. Regardless of what portal you apply, no matter what your job or career.
