Getting stuff for complaining
I just got a load of vouchers off of EAT because their hungarian goulash was lacking in cow. Im going to start complaing about everything now. What have you got out of companies after complaining? I might see how much stuff i can get by the end of the year....

That hungarian goulash is AMAZING
the chickpea and chorizo is so much better
the goulash at the one on cross street in Manchester was lovely but i only had about three bits of beef in a big portion. When i order a meaty soup i expect it to fulfill my blood lust.
I'm making chickpea and chorizo stew for dinner
Mmmm.
EAT soups are so brilliant. The best ever is Mexican Chicken Tortilla but I don't know if they still do it?
i've not come across that one
being an OFFICE WORKER i pretty much eat their soup everyday. Anything involving sweet potatos is always amazing, and the french onion one.
I tried to complain for the first time in my life about a shitty meal I'd had at a Scream pub in Glasgow earlier this year.
They offered me the chance to speak to the manager on the phone about my concerns. No free meals at anywhere in the chain or anything of the sort.
Bastards.
You're a bit old for Scream pubs.
I wanted a pub meal and the Scream was the only place I vaguely trusted anywhere near where I was.
But yeah, you're pretty much right. I give myself another 69 days before I can never visit one again. 30 is a good cut-off point.
When we were kids my brother found a mouldy cornflake in the box.
We sent it to Kellogs and they sent us back £5 of Kellogs vouchers.
Also, my folks bought a digicam a few years ago for £250 and it broke twice within the first couple of months. The third time it did it, Jessops sent them back their money along with the broken camera. My brother fixed the shutter (lose spring or something) and so they got a camera for free!
This girl I know complained about her train journey being too uncomfortable
and got a free trip to London and back. Now that may not sound like much, but it saved her £60 at the time.......you can get pretty much anything if you complain. They just send free things to shut you up.
I'm still waiting for the day though when I find a screw in my tuna. It'll happen. I knew it.
know*
Do they just give you tickets for the same journey?
i reckon i could do this one easy but i dont want to be stuck with free tickets to taunton and back again.
I think it was for the same journey, yeah
I... PUT THE SCREEEW.... IN THE TUNA
^POTD
Recently I got some free tickets to the cinema after the showing I was in had a thin line down the screen.
Quite a few other bits and pieces throughout my life.
loads of rail vouchers - delay repay comes in handy as a season ticket holder
if i have to wait ages for food in a pub i usually ask for a free round of drinks for the people i'm with.
oh, and i've taken Halifax to the Financial Ombudsman Service for a £4000 insurance claim they're refusing to pay out for. They've paid out £500 so far :(
you want meat?
i thought you were vegan, idk.
i got 20 quid voucher for waitrose for complaining that a pigeon i got from them had maggots in it. maggots, ffs.
I turned back about 5 months ago
Id want more than 20 quid for fucking maggots. Thats disgusting :(
My mum's friend got a chicken full of maggots
and got £500 off some trash like Chat magazine but her and her family had to appear on a two page spread posing like f-tards so i don't know if £500 covers the shame of the Carry On style photos
#i've got a chicken full of maggots / gonna eat it all tonight#
(to the tune of pocketful of money by jens lekman)
:D
My mum complains pretty much everyday.
It was great going on holidays with her as she'd always complain us to nicer accommodation.
The most recent example being last year when she was displeased with her wedding venue because there were "too many kids running around" (it was on a beach) so they (Virgin) moved it to a Hilton for free.
I wish I'd inherited her balls. I hate complaining.
BMI
lost my bag so claimed on insurance for it. But they provided a very shoddy lost luggage service.
So I griped and got £150 of vouchers from them which sold on eBay for £80 of the face value.
The bag turned up.
Win win win.
*80%, not £80
power supply for my macbook melted
apple tried to tell me it was out of warranty (it is over three years old and is a 'peripheral'). i was all like sales of goods act durability cost me lots of money. sent me a new one. sweet.
oh, also
i complained about my data charges on my phone, got a really crappy response, forwarded it to the ceo and got it all refunded. score.
Once found a piece of string embedded in a digestive
Got a £10 tesco voucher. Someone at work was saying this lunchtime that one of her old colleagues found a piece of plastic in her monster munch and got a years supply for free. They'd deliver 7 packets every tuesday...
Money for old rope.
:D
Oh dear...
i had something that looked like a dead flea
in a sandwich i bought from waitrose once. i showed it to them and they gave me a fiver and a new sandwich
if you made a basic complaining template letter
and then sent it to every company you could think of, the results could be brilliant.
or even send them a thank you letter, they might still send you a few vouchers.
or probably it would be a waste of stamps.
every time I move address I complain to McDonalds
Just some outrageous letter along the lines of "I was laughed out of your store, and jeered by an employee as I wept in shame."
They send me a huge A4 book of vouchers for free things. I rarely go to McDonalds so I don't know why I do it really.
