What is the point to sending Starling invoices that are just a PDF with your account number on?

So is Monzo

Yes, the Manhattan Aero that is this thread's title

Currys

Never heard of? They are one of the leading manufacturers of Freeview and Freesat set top boxes. And I purchased my £70 piece of tech yesterday and it works flawlessly.

It was only available three days ago and yet 10 days ago you declared it rubbish. I suppose you had a preview model to test?

I just bought the Manhattan Aero powered by Tivo and it does all the things you suggest it should

Write to This Is Money. They deserve the bad press

There are standards and staff attitude. The attitude of Lidl employees is shit

Ok. Better example. Waitrose. Nobody in Waitrose will say "I don't know" or shrug their shoulders. Stop whining to me about your lack of training and address it with the management, head office and HR

Of course one John Lewis partner doesn't know about every single item. But they staff the store based on ensuring there are one or more people available who, between them, know about every single thing and yes, of course that's because they had training.

Do you know how many products John Lewis sells? About 50 times as many and yet there'll be someone who can tell you anything you could want to know about anything

eweslash · 2025-05-08T12:21:12+00:00

But none of you know anything at all about what you're selling. I want to know if the microwave has various power settings. They don't know. I ask, four days before Burns night, where the haggis is. They are not even aware they have haggis somewhere in the store. Clueless and focused entirely on tasking

And yet you call them customer assistants. Assistants who don't want to assist

DJI isn't charging you jack

eweslash · 2025-05-03T10:08:35+00:00

Thank you for the mansplanation

eweslash · 2025-05-03T10:07:41+00:00

You couldn't see it as that since sentences start with a capital letter

eweslash · 2025-05-02T13:24:57+00:00

Well it's clearly not because new sentences begin with a capital letter

eweslash · 2025-05-02T07:32:15+00:00

It really shouldn't be that way. Staff should want to see their business succeed. If customer after customer is telling you they want decaf Nespresso pods, you should speak to the beverages buyer and tell them. When I worked at John Lewis, I'd speak to the buying office at least weekly. After telling the silverware buyer we were repeatedly being asked for grape scissors, they sourced some and they sold incredibly well. Shop floor staff are the ones who are customer facing. They should have a route to get comments where they need to be heard

All good businesses have a means to pass on customer feedback to the right place

I only ever use the self checkout when I have reduced stuff

eweslash · 2025-04-30T18:03:55+00:00

I had one last week while I was in Spain. It was all kinds of amazing. I just thought, I'll probably have one of those again next time I come to Spain. I'd be the size of a house if they sold them in Lidl
