We Brits don't complain enough.
I just had a call from @santanderuk after I made an official complaint about the new debit card not registering on Samsung & Google Pay. ยฃ50 goodwill compensation, an apology and a commitment to keep me updated when fixed. ๐—ฃ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ณ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜.

Funny you should say that. There was a distinct pause when she said she would pay it immediately if it was acceptable. Probably wrong, but it honestly felt like an "Is that enough?" kind of pause.

We know you're angry and frustrated; we can actually understand why you are frustrated and angry; it's just that we only answer the phone and pass your comments on. Be nice to customer care.

It's only coz I made an official complaint to my bank this morning and when the nice young lady said: "I look forward to speaking with you later." and I responded: "Ah, you're only saying that because I didn't rant and rave at you."
For some reason, she burst out laughing? Nervous tension, I suspect?

HOW MANY MORE TIMES? Your email address is being spoofed, there is nothing we can do! You can ring all day and all day tomorrow, and there will still be nothing we can do!

Have a care for 1st line support; they put up with this shit every day, where TBH, the answer is to scream down the phone: "FOOK OFF!" but of course, they can't.



I think my cheap desktop fan has given up any pretence at even trying. ๐Ÿฅต

We're currently at 37C; given I grew up "Down saarf" I'm used to temperatures five degrees warmer than up here. They're all moaning like mad in the office, but I suspect the real reason is that the bosses won't let them go home. :-D
