In praise of competent retailing
Don’t take poor service for granted. Instead, accept that there are winners in the world. Today, I found one.
Yesterday morning, I decided that I’d had enough of being constantly tethered with my laptop. I mean, the wi-fi was fine; it was the battery that had barely enough potential energy to cross from one room to another. My hesitation to spend meant that my wonderful laptop was a functional desktop machine. And so I went online, and placed an order for a new battery pack.
Today, when I arrived home, the new one was waiting on the table. Think about that. Less than two working days to get the purchase from somewhere in BC, all the way to my house. I am well and truly pleased with the service offered by Battery Depot. I recommend them to you, and I have received no compensation for this plug. Yet. (I’m joking… really… but if you want to return the favour…)
Listened in to a commentary, this morning. Concerning the complaint from an elementary school teacher, upset that the school board expected some simple addition in student mark calculation. Easy stuff: five numbers, totalling 100, maximum. The clincher was a question about whether the software would signal any calculation errors. Are you with me on this one? Is it possible that regular contact with the young and uneducated of our society diminishes the cognitive abilities of the educator? Be frightened.
And with that out of the way, let me remind you that the weekend is nigh. Apart from a tornado warning, life is good.
