really not enjoying this whole "you purchased something from us, please tell us how we did" email thing whenever I buy anything nowadays. I just wanted some socks, I'm not gonna do fuckin homework about them

I hate it too! It’s absurd how every casual purchase comes with an email footprint now. Wouldn’t mind as much if it came with a discount offer, but it almost never does.
Company: here's an email letting you know your item is arriving today
Company: here's an email letting you know your item was delivered
Company: here's an email demanding you review it

I'll give 'em one. On the other hand, I've gone on a jihad about websites popping up their stupid "Subscribe to our newsletter!" lightbox thing. Do it once, lose javascript privileges forever.
I for one hope they have bounce tracking linked to popping interstitials because I almost always close the tab immediately no matter how much I wanted the information on their site.
The example I'll throw in is the liquor store (won't name brand), since I have their loyalty card (because, discounts) and yea, get email day later, "how was that [alcoholic spirit] you bought?"
My man, I have not even opened the bottle yet. Could you chill?
i told one company i'd be glad to review their product, but i would like to know how much they were going to pay me for the review? they've never asked again
I recently had this with a lab for s blood test. "Tell us how we did, fill this quick survey". Come on, you just drew my blood like a doctor wanted you to do, how I'm supposed to rate that? 1/5, the needle hurt too much or 5/5, the nurse found the vein immediately?
it sucks. and I hate getting staff at physical stores begging me to fill in the survey, because I know they have targets to hit for # of surveys done for them, and there are performance review costs to the staffer for not meeting those targets.
It's a shitty means of gauging how well you're doing.
Totally. The only time I’m ever gonna do a performance review is if the employee screamed slurs at me and tried to set me on fire or else they saved my life and then we ended up falling in love
Everyone seems to want a reference, and well written review of their appearance, from MP's, to loo roll sellers, & supermarkets.
Pthe emails from delivery firms🤯
Pleeeeze (ten emails) say we're superbest!!
No! That's your mummy's job. Your aunty's & sisters, uncles & brothers, on the other hand.
No!
My company sends these surveys. I’m a financial advisor. When the markets are up, I receive positive reviews. When the markets are down, I receive negative reviews. I had no idea I was so powerful.
When I’m in a store and they ask me to rate them, I ask them to rate me.
How was I as a customer?
Was I smiling when I overpaid for what I could’ve bought cheaper online?
Did I compliment you on your flair pins?
How was my body odor?
Every service provider and every utility are doing it now too. It's a constant inundation of, "Review me! Share me! Help me improve! Love me! PROMOTE ME FOR FREE!" They're all like jilted middle school crushes who also happen to grind souls into money dust.
Also tired of the cookie, mailchimp and discount code pop ups that throw themselves in front of the information I want like security in front of a president under fire.
The grocery store keeps asking me if I would recommend them to other people and I'm just like "I love you guys, but typically I do not talk to my friends about grocery stores"
YES thank you oh my gods "my friends group is in the 30+ range (approaching 40+), pretty sure they've got the whole 'shopping for groceries' thing mostly figured out"
I had a call with a service center today and while he couldn't ask me to, I could hear his voice shaking as he was asking if I could please rate his service and making sure to explain 7 or under are considered neutral or bad ratings.
Every. Single. Doctor. I have does this.
It's fine when it's a check-up. But if I've gone to the E.R. for COVID symptoms, I do not want to spend ten minutes filling out a survey.
What bothers me most is services, because I worry workers are getting penalized or something by their employers if I don't answer the emails and texts going "Tell us how Jeff did!"
I’d just had 4 rounds of Mohs surgery on a carcinoma on my lip that the doctor’s lack of bedside manner made a nightmare, and there was a survey request on my phone before I even left the OR.
"how did we doooooo???"
You printed the shipping label. It's probably not even stuck to the box yet, and it'll take three to five days for it to get here after that happens. Email me next week or something.
Amazon asking for a review of their delivery guys now.
Like. I got it in one piece, thanks. Do you want me to 1 star the delivery guy because it was late . Unless he's spiking the package what do you want me to say
It's on the porch. It's fine. I'd prefer it in the back off the alley, but ain't none of them going to diverge from what's on the map as the route they're supposed to take just to get it out of sight, so that battle's already lost.
“Don’t forget to review ‘USB Cable’ – your opinion matters!!!”
My first book won an actual gold medal and I still struggle to write a fascinating review of USB Cable that will give you deep, new insight into USB Cable as compared to Other USB Cable, changing your life forever.
This is not a new thing, though. I have an email in my archive from 2004 from Amazon asking me to rate my purchase. But it has definitely increased exponentially in the past few years.
One of the randomly annoying things about Twitter is where you're reading a thread about how crap customer service is at XYZ, and XYZ customer reps pop up all over the replies saying "DM me and we'll look into this for you." It's just so tone deaf.
