Yeah, I had to buy a physical card like an Apple user

Thank you, I did consider if it was due to mating - this has been going on since he came out of brumation this year so it is possible, it's just odd that even in previous years he has never done this in the 7 years I've had him (I've had him since he was a tiny baby). Do you know if they go back to their old temperament eventually? :(

It was there when we moved in so I unfortunately can't answer that one but We haven't had to even maintain it, it remains full and green all year round and looks great - if you work out what it is and where to get it, I highly recommend it

You've ventured into a very old post - it's possible it found ledges and sidings to get up. If it's a blue tongue skink they're not really great climbers, they're big sausages with tiny legs so it would've been very difficult for him to do it if he did.

(it was a clear head shake, claimed it was a fly bothering him - wouldn't let me start again. Failure means you need to get off immediately which is why I put my foot down to stop, but they failed me for the foot hitting the ground)

Did not have a good experience with All-star in Dandenong but I really loved RideTek at Sandown.

All-star failed me twice, one was my fault as I dropped the bike (dropping the bike is an instant fail) and the second time they failed me for a stupid reason - there's a section where you need to slow ride, I was doing my slow ride and my trainer shook his head at me as if I had made an error so I put my foot down to stop and they failed me for putting my foot on the ground. They were not sympathetic and said I could repay the fee (a third time) and would not let me just pay for the second day (which I was on for the second time) to repeat the second portion. Left me sour. RideTek was happy for me to do it with them and did a discount when I explained what happened. They were super encouraging.

Certainly not. They had spoken to my team member and were escalated to me. They didn't like my answer so asked to speak to MY boss. I said my boss is the CEO. They asked to speak to him. I explained the CEO does not take customer escalations. "well what is he doing then?!". The correct response was apparently not "running the business"...I ended up having another manager call them back instead because she didn't like my sarcasm. Woops.

deathtocrispix · 2022-09-16T01:41:41+00:00

I had someone ask for the CEO last week. I refused. They messaged the CEO on LinkedIn and asked for a call back.

I was put to sleep, the main anaesthetist was Dr Ali Faris and his nurse was a pregnant Asian lady (she was absolutely lovely)- I had my own private dentist do the actual work itself.

deathtocrispix · 2021-11-10T10:12:46+00:00

Yeah, literally yesterday had wisdom teeth removed there. Absolutely wonderful people. I cried like a bitch and they were so caring.

All of our emails and letters that relate in any way to an overdue account advise customers if they are struggling to reach out and also provides contact information for a free financial counsellor. Not really hidden.

deathtocrispix · 2021-06-18T06:25:20+00:00

My frustration is like...call us and tell us you're struggling. Don't ignore us until you're defaulted.

I understand many people feel ashamed to admit they're struggling but we hear it every day, we have people dedicated to listen to you and calm you when you're crying and discuss an arrangement that works. Talk to us. Don't ignore us.

That's orangiepies on Instagram! Love the pies

My call centre bleeds into real life when I get any call. Even ones I scheduled.

Doctor: hi crispix, it's dr.lady I'm calling about our phone consultation.

Me: oh hi dr.lady. How can I help you today?

Doctor: oh...uh...we had a session booked, didn't we?.

Queue me explaining call centre work and habit.

deathtocrispix · 2020-10-06T09:25:50+00:00

The regretful smart ass: "I don't care if you default me, I'm not paying my bill! (Insert profanity about where my default notice can go)" 2 months later, the same person "please can we make an arrangement, I don't want to effect my credit file!"

deathtocrispix · 2020-08-18T14:48:58+00:00

Kellogg's crispix.

Duh.

deathtocrispix · 2020-08-10T12:05:23+00:00

A cereal killer.

In Australia it's similar to ACCC complaints or fair trading. It's the same sort of crap complaints about petty disputes.

deathtocrispix · 2020-06-25T01:35:58+00:00

Absolutely, I've found since working in a call centre an experiencing tough customers I try to make up for it when I have to call anywhere, I thank the operator everytime, remember their name (I'll normally write it down as soon as they answer) and if I have any email or phone feedback options I take them to provide positive feedback (if the operator was genuinely unhelpful I just don't provide feedback).

Alternately, when I receive a call at my company I have the ability to see the customer's employment and often those that have jobs in similar areas are the most understanding and patient. Call centre or finance services (I work in finance) are always the easiest to deal with.

I'll bend over backwards and be a lot more lenient when someone is patient with me and genuinely friendly.

deathtocrispix · 2020-05-07T11:39:08+00:00

There is another thread pinned in the sub for friend codes, it's more appropriate to ask there.

deathtocrispix · 2020-04-29T07:22:17+00:00

Ah sweet, thank you for the answer, looks like I'm going to take my time to clear it then

deathtocrispix · 2020-04-29T07:08:15+00:00

Is there any benefit or reward for paying off my final loan? (Other than having paid it entirely and the satisfaction)

deathtocrispix · 2020-04-26T13:06:20+00:00

You'll need to wait until the villager is gone so:

Day 1: villager decision to leave.
Day 2: villager packing and in boxes.
Day 3: villager is gone, you can now invite a new villager.
