Jeg gjentar at det ikke er meg, som har skrevet, det tullet her. Hvis jeg anmelder sånt her, til politiet, så svarer de ikke engang, på anmeldelsene mine

PS.

Jeg kan se hvem som linker til bloggen, ved hjelp av et program, som heter StatCounter:

Sånn her ser det ut fra stuevinduet mitt, etter at det har vært fortballkamper, på Goodison Park, (som jeg hverken har tid eller råd, til å gå på, må jeg si)

Jeg sendte enda en ny e-post til Sainsbury's

Hi,

you blame this on 'unforessen cicumstances'.

Ok, so all you staff didn't do their job, after closing-time, on Wednesday.

They just started to drinking and partying, and went to a club or pub, I guess.

This sounds strange, to me.

At least you could have had a sign there, (around the gate to the passage self-service tills), telling the custommers that the other self-service check-outs were available, at the other side of the cafeteria.

This would have been better custommer-service, I think.

And it also seemed like a group of higher managers, (or something), was monitoring how the custommers behaved, due to that you'd closed these six self-service tills, which normally are open.

This was a bit unpleasant, I think.

A group of people were just standing there monitoring the custommers.

I think this group of people could have fixed the self-service check-outs instead.

Instead of just standing there.

It's a bit inpolite to monitor your custommers like that, I think.

I haven't seen anything like that, while I worked for almost a lifetime, in retail, in Norway.

Regards,

Erik Ribsskog

Dear Mr Ribsskog

Thank you for your further email I’m sorry our self scan checkouts were closed when you visited our Rice Lane store on Thursday. I can appreciate your frustration as you would not expect all six check outs to be out of order.

I have spoken with Julie Clarke, Checkout Manager. She has informed me that our self scan checkouts are updated on Wednesday night to ensure they have the required funds to be suitable for use by our customers. Due to unforeseen circumstances this update did not take place. The resulting action was that our self scan check outs could not be in operation on Thursday until they had been properly updated.

We appreciate the confusion this may have caused but took all possible steps to minimize any inconvenience caused by ensuring all available checkouts were open for our customers.

I hope this clarifies the actions taken in store on this day. We’re grateful to you for getting in touch and hope to see you again soon.

Kind regards

Hi,

today, (Thursday), I was at this store again, (at around 3.30PM).

All the six self-service check-outs, close to the exit-doors, where closed.

A group of higher managers, (I think it must have been), were standing close to the four other self-service check-outs, on the other side of the cafeteria.

What was going on here?

How can six out of six self-service tills suddently not work?

Are you co-operating with the candid camera or something?

Hi,

I've worked as a store manager myself in Norway.

And if I had gotten a complaint like that, I would have called the company which runs the bank-terminals, and asked them what the problem was.

So this wasn't good custommer-support, I think.

Can I escalate this to your line-manager, please?

Dear Mr Ribsskog

Thanks for your email and further comments relating to your recent enquiry.

I’ve contacted the Rice lane store and discussed this with Nicola Edwards, the Customer Services Desk. She’s asked me to send her apologies and was disappointed to hear of your experience. She’s advised when a card is declined in store we aren’t able to establish the reason. There can be several factors which can cause this for example the merchant provider may be down.

I appreciate the time you have taken to contact us and I hope this information is helpful.

Kind regards

Hi,

thank you for your e-mail!

I don't think it could have been the card-provider, that the problem was with.

Because like one can see, on the recepits, that I attach copies of.

The card worked again, a minute after if first had been refused.

So it was just a temporarely problem, it seems.

But like I wrote to you earlier, I've worked full time, as a cashier, for almost a year, at OBS Triaden, in Norway.

And this was in 1990/91.

But we had bank-terminals, in every other till.

And even 20 years ago, this didn't happen.

If the bank terminals were off-line, then the custommer was told to sign a recepit, and this was then like a cheque, more or less.

So I think it's to bad, that this worked in Norway, 20 years ago.

But it doesn't work in the UK, today.

I know there is a company, in-between you and the banks.

(I know, because I've also worked as a retail manager in Norway, for ten years, in the Rimi-chain, owned by ICA).

So I think it could be some 'Gremlins' there perhaps.

This company was called 'Bank Accept', (or something), in Norway.

You probably have an equivalent, (to Bank Accept), here in the UK.

So I send again about this.

Perhaps you could escalate this to your line-manager.

Dear Mr Erik Ribsskog

Thanks for your email. I’m sorry your visa card payment was refused at our Rice Lane store on your recent visit. I understand your disappointment as there was enough money in your bank.

We are not aware of any faults with our card machines at the minute. I can only recommend that you contact your card provider.

We appreciate you taking the time to get in touch and make us aware of this and hope to see you in store soon.

Hi,

like I wrote in the first e-mail about this problem.

If it was a problem with the connection, then the bank-terminals in Norway, more than twenty years ago, wrote a receipt, which was almost like a cheque, for the custommer to sign.

The amount would then take a bit longer time, (a couple of days, I think we told the custommers), to be withdrawn, from the custommers' bank-accounts.

So is the UK more than 20 years behind Norway, when it comes to this?

This doesn't seem likely, to me.

I wonder if there have been some 'Gremlins' here, messing with my account.

I think it's poor custommer-service, that you don't investigate what has happened here.

I have also gone to business-school, and learned that the custommer is always right.

I think the UK is poor on custommer-service.

You should learn from the USA, I think.

It doesn't seem you have a custommer-service attitude, (towards custommers), here in the UK.

Dear Mr Ribsskog

Thank you for your further email. I am sorry my colleagues have been unable to resolve this matter to your satisfaction. I can appreciate your frustration as you have provided us with several pieces of information about your transaction. As requested your correspondence has been escalated to me.

Our customers experience is important to us. We expect our customers to have the best service possible and it is disappointing to us that this has not been your experience.

As my colleagues have explained, when a customer’s payment card is declined at our checkouts we are unable to identify why this decision was made. The instruction to refuse payment comes from the card provider.

I know you understand there is also a merchant who facilitates these requests on behalf of your card provider. I appreciate you experience of retail in Norway but unfortunately the process you outline when incidents like this occur is not mirrored in our stores.

As you mention your card was then accepted on the second attempt, it may be there was a temporary error with the connection from your card supplier. To this end we would request you follow the guidance offered by my colleagues and contact your card provider for further information.

I appreciate this was not the answer you were hoping for but I must stress that my colleagues have guided you correctly through all stages of your contact with us. I hope you can speak with you banking group and source the answer you require.

I appreciate you taking the time to get in touch.

Hi,

thank you for your e-mail!

I think that since this was something that happened, in your store, then you have a responsibility, to help finding out what has happened.

I think it's poor custommer-support, that I have to go in the bank, and ask them, what has happened.

I've sent you the recepts and all, so this is something you could find out, I think.

You are just being lazy here, it seems to me.

Dear I ask to get this escalated again?
