Consumer Action, 21st Century Style

Is this thread about refunds n disputes then? I'm screwed then because I just agree as I hate confrontation. My Mam, on the other side says whatever's on her mind. She doesn't care if people don't like her. She was liked a lot in her previous business as she helped out but she took shit from no one. I'd love to be like that but I hate offending people and causing tense atmospheres so I just agree. I mean even when I did my eBay I'd sell at a loss because I was scared of losing my 100% feedback.

However,

There was once when I got myself a lot of a discount on T-Mobile because I was able to E-mail them, documenting all dates, times since I'd joined them, loyalty n all.....

The Internet proved useful.... but has also been a curse!

No, I'm deadly serious. This steak bake was more than "woefully under-seasoned" -- it was totally in-fucking-edible.

I didn't want to speak to the head chef. I just wanted a bit of salt on my steak bake. I don't think that is a remotely unreasonable request, either. I didn't even mean some fancy Atlantic Ocean salt, harvested by hand using traditional wooden and stone tools by the light of the full moon from the salt marshes of the Pays de la Loire, either. Just some ordinary kitchen salt. And for them not to have a salt cellar, in a takeaway food outlet of all places, well, that was just un-fucking-believable.

It has left a bad taste in my mouth, literally as well as figuratively.

Oh, I am aware that I could have taken it home, warmed it up in the oven and eaten it with some of my own stash of salt. But by then, the moment would have passed. If I was going to go to that much effort, I might just as well have gone to the butcher's stall on the indoor market, bought some stewing steak, taken it home, cooked it up with some mushrooms, onions, herbs, spices and Business As Usual, drained off the excess fat, added that to the margarine and flour I was using to make a simple pastry, rolled it out thin, folded it in half, repeated the rolling and folding process several times, folded the pastry around the cooked meat, crimped down the edges and baked until golden brown.

But I shouldn't have to do any of that. They should have had some salt.

Haha... yeah. I think you took that "incident" a bit too far, to say the least, and it's certainly not what my thread's about. :D

I can't even imagine a conversation going on like yours in a Greggs in my hometown. You would get headbutted by the staff or one of the punters in the queue for that level of... fussiness. =D
 
You shouldn't let yourself get walked all over like that. It isn't healthy.

It's ultimately a form of self-destructive behaviour, because it turns righteous anger into self-resentment.

There are times when you've got to stand up for yourself. Start with a general rule of Never throw a punch that you expect your opponent to get up from straight away .....
 
Martin Luther King. Ghandi. Malcolm X. Little known fact - they were all set off by underseasoned pastry products.
 
Examine your priorities, Julie, cos that one's a fucking cracker. You could have wandered down to the next establishment for some salt like a normal person, or just eaten it, or just reached into your rucksack for your emergency sachet of salt like what I might've done. :D

I will continue to use Greggs as a purveyor of salty-fatty-delicious food in the future, and I'm afraid your so called incident has only endeared me to them even further. :D

This is true, I really fancy a Greggs right now.
