BIG W - Eastgardens!

CONGRATULATIONS

To 'BIG W' for being the first business to be mentioned TWICE in the 'Fed Up Foamers' blog.

Yes it is a truly special business, well a truly special BAD business, that finds itself mentioned twice here. Obviously BIG W is doing something right when it comes to doing things wrong.

Now to be fair to all the other BIG W stores I think I should point out that this is solely aimed at the ridiculous excuse for a photographic lab that is part of the Eastgardens outlet.

Here they have at least 10 photo machines for getting prints done off your camera, memory cards and CD/DVDs. Yet most of the time, when you go to the effort to get there, the machines, all of them, are not working. Not just one or two, but the whole ten.

Various excuses are regularly given, oh yes machine is busted, computers are having problems, staff have been at lunch, or, my favourite, WE ARE TO BUSY AT THE MOMENT SO HAD TO CLOSE THEM DOWN.

I mean HELLO, as a regular traveller to third world countries in asia and user of their same photographic services, I can say that despite having a population far more in excess of ours that they don't seem to have to shut down the machines due too to much business.

A THIRD WORLD country has its act together, why can't BIG W Eastgardens?

In the past they have told me to ring first. I did this and yet still went there to find them closed and had a snotty older worker have a go at me for not being happy about it.

Said older worker, I presume he has some sort of supervisor role, then went on to whinge about all the customers on the top of his voice so people there could hear.

If you shop at Eastgardens and are a regular user of photo labs, I suggest the similarly priced one at K-MART downstairs. Sure it takes a while to find someone to serve you, but it happens a lot faster than the three days it takes for BIG Ws machines to be got up and going.

If indeed it is a problem with the machines, perhaps they should be doing something to rectify it. They are, afterall, a popular service and can't be considered not worthy of some investment.

Attractive but lazy!

Yes, best to save the 2 minutes it would take to walk across the Heathcote footbridge and risk the possibility of having ones self splattered from here to Otford in little grizzly bits.

Check out the L7 logo. Who copied who.
Perhaps this is Railcorp, punishing a station manager for delaying a train.

St George bank.

Who do they think they are kidding? A few wanky ads about the popularity of their bank managers and all of a sudden they are good with people.

- It takes up to six days for a an internet transfer of money AND BETWEEN ST GEORGE ACCOUNTS! Why is this. Why can ones pay be transfered by their employer on a Thursday and not show until Tuesday?

Are computers that slow at St George?

- Recently those wonderful people at St George who a sooooooooooooooooo good with people, were good enough to raise the monthly account keeping fee for accounts under $5000. You show me a railfan as old as me with an account over $5000 and I shall show you a long decayed corpse with a good interest rate.

How stupid are we expected to be?

Banks just expect that you are stupid, bosses also feel you should be stupid, real estate agents, car sales people, government employees. They all expect that you are stupid and because we shut up and let them get away with it, then there is no reason why they should think we ARE NOT AS STUPID AS THEY THINK!

Well no more. Lets make 2008 the year we say what we think.

Let the dregs of society unite!
