Everyone Is Entitled To His Own Stupid Opinion

 

Every time I turn around, I am being asked to complete a Survey. It is almost impossible to sign off a communication on the Internet or a phone call where I will not be asked to give my opinion about the service I just received.

I even stopped turning around for a full week but it did not stop the Survey Avalanche.

Today I bumped up against a request for a Survey that surprised even me...

Ø I was walking down a strip mall when it happened.

Ø My phone lit up.

Ø Without paying attention I interrupted my walk and taped the text message notification.

Ø We all do this.

Ø Some think it is Federal Law that we interrupt whatever we are doing to tap text.

It was a request from one of the stores I had just walked past. I did not know which store it was. The message was a request to take a Survey about my walk past the unknown store. (You are going to think I made this up but, honestly, I never have I made something up just to make a Blog Posting interesting...Or have I?)

Here was the request...

We enjoyed seeing you walk past our store. We hope you enjoyed walking past our store as much as we enjoyed having you walk past our store. Would you please take a few moments to let us know of any walking past issues you had as you walked past or store. We will use your input to improve the enjoyment of future walkers as they walk past our store. On behalf of those future walkers past our store, we thank you for your input.

If you are thinking I put too many "past our stores" in this Blog Posting, I agree with you.

As I close this Blog Posting, I would like to make an important point...

The survey took a lot longer than “a few moments” they promised it would take. This you can be certain...No matter what they promise (in moments or in minutes) they all take longer than they promise it will take.

Would I kid u?
