    Hei,

    Kunnskapsdepartementet sier seg ferdige med mine saker.

    Men de har ikke gjort noe egentlig.

    Frode Eika Sandnes er jo så høyt oppe at han er det bilde av, i avisene, sammen med han negerkongen, som fikk frastjålet kronjuvelene sine, i Oslo.

    Og andre saker nevner de ikke.

    (Som Svelvik ungdomsskole og også Sande videregående, vel).

    Personen som svarer meg nå, kaller seg Lizzie, i en offentlig e-post.


    Jeg synes det er veldig ukonvensjonelt.

    Og som noe russisk muligens, over denne saksbehandlingen.

    Er du rusk, kunne mora mi si, på 70-tallet.

    Og det tror jeg at hu Lizzie er.

    Hu er nok helt rusk.

    Og jeg har eskalert dette til høyeste Kristin Halvorsen, i dette departementet.

    Men det er ikke henne som svarer, seg jeg, i det e-brevet.

    Så her holder nok departementet hennes ting skjult for ministeren.


    Sånn som det virker, for meg, ihvertfall.

    Så her trengs det en ryddesjau i Kunnskapsdepartementet, vil jeg si.

    Hi,

    I understand that this was escalated to you.

    But I’ve asked to please get this escalated again.
    I can’t see that you’ve done this.

    Dear Mr Ribsskog

    Thanks for your email.  I’m sorry you’re unhappy with our previous responses.  I can confirm that I’m a senior customer manager and this has been escalated to myself.

    We want to make our customers shopping trips as convenient as possible and we introduced our self checkouts as an efficient and speedy alternative to manned checkouts.  However, we recognise that they are not ideal for all our customers and we aim to provide a choice, which includes opening more manned checkouts for our customers who prefer them.  You certainly should not feel pressured into using these tills.


    We have a TRY promise were if you’re unhappy with any of our own brand products, you can get a full refund by taking the packaging and receipt to the customer service desk in any store.  If you could reply with more information on the chicken steaks you’re referring to, I can investigate this further.  Ideally if you have any information on the packaging, I can log this with our buyers.

    I’ve called our Rice Lane store and spoken to my colleague, Kim Tingsley, the Customer Service Supervisor.  Kim advised that there was a problem with one of the bank terminals in the store.  Although the banks aren’t managed by the store, this was reported immediately and has since been fixed.  I appreciate you’d like more information on this but as the banks are managed externally, we’re unable to provide any more information.

    Kim wasn’t aware of any problems with the self service checkouts.  If you could reply confirming which date you entered the store and what was wrong with the tills and also more information on the antennas you mentioned, I can investigate this further with the store.  I appreciate these issues have been going on for some time.  If you could reply with your contact number, we’d be happy to call you in order to resolve these for you.

    We’re grateful that you’ve taken the time to contact us and look forward to your response.

    Kind regards

    Hi,

    ok, and how about the awkward self-service-tills?

    Have you gotten a lot of complaints about them?

    And the antennas for Christmas.


    Am I the only one who have complained?

    And the chicken-steaks aren’t that delicous, I think.

    Has this really been escalated now, by the way?

    How can you explain two ‘Gremlin-attacks’ in a few days, in this shop?

    (The problem with the bank-terminals and the six self-service tills).


    I think it’s bad custommer support that you don’t explain to me, what was wrong, with the bank-terminal.


    One single phone-call.

    How hard can this be?

    This seems very strange to me.


    It’s like you don’t really try, I think.

    I’ve asked to escalate this.


    I can’t see that that has really happened.


    So I try again.

    Dear Mr Erik Ribsskog

    Thanks for your email.  I’m sorry that you were unhappy with your trip to our Rice Lane store.  I can understand your disappointment as you saw some of the behaviour as a “provocation”.

    It is never our intent for our customers to feel awkward in store, we wish for our customers to enjoy their shopping experience.  Our security guards patrol for the safety of all our customers and are not there to provoke anybody.  I apologise that a colleague moved your basket without asking. I have passed your comments onto management who appreciate all customer feedback.

    We’re grateful to you for taking the time to contact us and we look forward to seeing you again shortly.

    Hi,

    I’m just back, after shopping at Farmfoods and Sainsbury’s.

    At Sainsbury’s a Securitas-guard patroled right in front of me, when I walked in to the shop.


    I thought that was almost like a provocation.

    (This was your Rice Lane shop, as usual).

    Also, in the self-service till, a Sainsbury-woman, (quite big), in her 40’s, suddently started lifting on my basket, to get to a basket, which was underneath mine.

    (From the custommer before me).


    I’ve seen at Asda.


    At the self-service tills there.


    That a sing says: ‘Always explain the intervention’.


    Your staff didn’t do this.


    She made me almost get a shock, I think I have to say.


    This was like something that could only have happened in Russia.


    I brought my own basket back to the entrance-area, (around where the Security-guard was).

    And it was no shortage of baskets there.


    So I think I have to call this a basket-case.


    Why do your staff act like they’re trained in Russia?

    This was like a provocation, I think.


    You should learn from Asda, which are owned by Wal-Mart, which is an American company.

    Also,  (unilke Asda, Tesco, etc), the self service tills in this shop.


    (Sainsbury’s Rice Lane).


    They are aqwardly placed.


    The carrier-bags are placed to far away from the custommers, I think.

    I think your better at own brand tinned food, than Asda.


    But you just forget my complaints about your noodles, (own brand), which tastes like dish-washing-water, I think.


    (Something like this).


    In your last e-mail.

    There’s no excuse for ignorance, a saying, (here in the UK), says.


    But I don’t think you’ve heard that saying.

    So I want to escalate all the complaints I’ve sent you, please.


    Also, your mashed potatoes, smell bad, which isn’t the case, with Asda’s own-label mashed potatoes.

    And Aldi are better at chicken-steaks, I think.

    Also, you don’t have the chicken-nuggets, (own label), which costs around 70 pence, that Tesco and Asda have.

    I wanted to please escalate all the complaints I’ve sent you, please.

    Hi,

    also, at Christmas, your quite old femal staff with blonde hair.


    In the check-out.


    (I bought so much food for Christmas that I used a trolley and went to the manual check-out).


    She had to have antennas on her, since it was Christmas, it seemed.

    She was almost crying, from this ridiculus costume, it seemed to me.


    It reminded me of when I worked as an assistant manager, at Rimi Bjørndal, in Norway, from 1996 to 1998.


    The Store Manager Kristian Kvehaugen said the check-out-staff had to wear santa-caps.

    But the Marocco-girl, in the check-out, took her red santa head-cap of all the time.

    But your staff didn’t do this.

    So it was a bit like a shop from Mars, last Christmas, I think.

    Also your chicken-steaks, for £1.15, doesn’t taste that delicous, I think.

    Hi,

    is your head-office in Moscow or something?

    Your reply just look like a mess to me.

    Those higher managers, (or what they were), were definetly just standing around.


    I know what I saw, I’m an experienced retail-manager, who has worked for almost a lifetime in retail.


    You just invent a reply, it seems to me.


    I have no confidence in you due to this.

    These people weren’t even in uniform/work-clothes.


    Even if that isn’t isn’t reflected in your reply, I think.

    Also, Sainsbury’s low-priced noodles, doesn’t taste good.


    And Sainsbury’s low-priced potato-mash smells bad, I think.

    (I tried it last week-end, but I just threw it, due to the smell, I have to admit).

    Good luck with the Moscowits, Marsians and Gremlins.

    Thank you for your further email.

    As detailed in my response of 2 March, your comments have been escalated to me as Senior Manager within Careline.  

    In this reply I detailed our final response to the incident in out Rice Lane store on 14 February relating to the inability to process your card payment.  Equally this was addressed in my colleague Katrina Dicks reply on 4 March.

    Similarly in my reply of 2 March I detailed the reason our self scan checkouts where not functioning on your visit to the store. Although it may have appeared my colleagues in store were simply standing around, I assure you this was not the case.

    The extensive detail provided in each of these responses, and those previously sent by my team, provide our final answer on these points. I hope you can use the information provided and I have explained actions of my colleagues in store.

    Hi,

    I’ve sent to your college, Katarina Dick, about this, earlier this week.

    (And asked her to escalate).


    So this is being dealt with already, I think I have to say.


    Regards,


    Erik Ribsskog

    PS.


    Here is more about this:

    Hi,

    ok, I think it’s strange that all your machines doesn’t seem to work.

    It was also a problem with your bank-terminal, at this shop, the week before, (I think it was).

    (Like I have discussed with your college Ajay Chand, like one can see, in one of the forwarded e-mails, with this e-mail).

    A bank-terminal that refuses to let people pay by card, when they have money, on their account.

    That must be pretty rear, I think.

    And that this store also have a group of six self-service tills, that doesn’t work, the next week.

    (Which I haven’t seen in any other store.

    And these tills have been around since 2005, at least, I remember.

    Because I saw them that year, at a big Sainsbury’s in Kensington, in London, where I lived for a couple of weeks, that year).

    So this seems very strange to me.

    It’s like an invasion of Gremlins, I think.

    And how about the group of higher managers, which were standing in between the two groups of self-service tills, on the mentioned Wednesday, (the ones who were monitoring me and the other custommers), do you have an explanation for this?

    Have you had problems with an invasion from Mars?

    I think it must have been something like this, since there has been so much strange ‘stuff’ going on in your store.

    Due to that there have been many problems, I would have wanted to escalate about this, please.

    It has been so much problems with the food-industry lately, (with the horse-meat-scandal etc), so I think this should be on a higher level in your organisation.

    It’s a problem with the whole industry, a lefleat I saw today at Tesco says.

    So due to this I want to escalate, please.

    Dear Mr Ribsskog

    Thanks for your email and the further information you provided.  I’m sorry to learn you’re unhappy with our response.

    As advised in our previous emails, if a card if declined in store we’re unable to establish the reason for this.  The instruction to decline the card comes direct from the card provider.  As I’m sure you can appreciate, we need to act on such requests.  

    The only way to resolve this is to contact your card provider.  They’ll be able to carry out a full investigation and establish the reason the card was declined.  Unfortunately, we’re unable to do this on your behalf.  

    Your card provider wouldn’t be able to provide us with any of this information.  This would constitute a breach of the Data Protection Act.  Your card provider will only be able to discuss this with you.  I’m sorry we’re not able to assist you further.  

    We appreciate you’ve taken the time to contact us again and hope you’re able to get this resolved 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.

    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?

    Regards,


    Erik Ribsskog

    Dear Mr Ribsskog

    Thank you for your further email.  I am sorry you are unhappy with my colleagues’ previous responses.

    I have looked into this matter and I can confirm that the information my colleagues’ gave you is correct.  When a card is declined in store we are unable to establish the reason.  There can be several factors which can cause this, for example the merchant provider may be down.

    As my colleagues have advised, the only way to establish what went wrong would be to contact your card provider directly as we would not be able to offer any further assistance with this matter.

    I hope this information is useful to you and we look forward to seeing you in store again soon.

    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.

    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.

    Hi,

    I haven’t filled out a form about this in 2007.

    I complained later, after I finnished in this job, at the end of 2007.
    After I got a bit more used with living in the UK.


    I only moved here in 2004, (to study), and started working here in 2005.

    So I waited a bit long before I applied for the Council Tax-benefit, (for the years I worked as self-employed, which was from March 2006 to November or December in 2007).

    But I haven’t filled out a form, (about this), in 2007.


    It was more like I just wrote an e-mail about this, a couple of years later.

    So this form you mention I’m a bit currious about.
    Perhaps you could explain more about that?

    Regards,


    Erik Ribsskog

    Hello,

    Re your recent e-mail, the regulations for back-dating Council Tax, and collecting Council Tax are different, they are 2 separate entities.

    I note that you did apply for rebate in 2007, and the back-dating rules are/were given on the form, but the back-dating rules have changed since then.

    Once a Liability Order has been obtained we can continue to collect Council Tax for as long as we wish.

    The LGO dept are correct it is extremely doubtful that the benefits office will back date rebate going back 5 or 6 years.

    Am just a bit confused that you applied for rebate, and received rebate, so if you thought at the time that the rebate wasn’t sufficient/correct why didn’t you deal with that at the time.

    If you are in receipt of JSA or ESA we can deduct direct from your Benefit, at £3.55 per week (£3.60 from April 2013) but if not we will have to have a suitable arrangement.

    We await your proposals for payment.

    Hi,

    I remembered some more complaints now.

    Best regards,

    Erik Ribsskog

    • Erik Ribsskog I also remember more complaints now:

      7. Aldi-staff intimidated me by standing four people around me at the same time.

      It should be enough that I explained about this once, to one person.

      Not twice, to four people.

      8. While I spoke with the manager, a short blond Aldi-staff interupted us, and started talking without interducing himselves.

      9. The short blond guy said the six water-bottles missing from the multi-pack had fallen on from the pallet, but I’m an experienced store manager, I think I would have noticed if the botles were on the floor, etc.

      I could even see that one water-bottle was in a check-out, which was open.

      10. Aldi doesn’t seem to have their e-mail-adresse on their web-site.

      That’s the complaints I can think of now.

      A bit much I think, I just wanted to buy a regular lunch-meal there.

      Like it’s that e.g. office-people buy for lunch, here in the UK, I remember from working in a big office-building, (the Cunard Building, here in Liverpool), some years ago.

      • Hi,

        yesterday I was at Aldi in Walton Road, in Liverpool.

        I thought I’d buy a sandwich there.

        First there only ham & mustard-sandwiches there, (and no e.g. prawn & mayo-sanwiches, that I usually buy).

        Also there were no 0.5 liter water, in the check-outs, like usual, in this shop.

        I therefore grabbed a water-bottle in the soda-department.

        But when I got two the long queues in the two open tills, then an African-looking security-guard told me I couldn’t buy the water, (since it was only sold in multi-packs).

        I told him you just to sell water in the check-out.

        He asked me when that was.

        And I said first some weeks ago.

        And then some months ago.

        Since it’s been some months, (I think), since I bought a sandwich, (for brunch), in this shop.

        He then didn’t say anything, other than that I couldn’t buty the water.

        I then had to go back to the soda-department, with the water-bottle.

        I there noticed that from the open twelve-pack, it was only six bottles left, (including mine).

        So I brought the multipack-packaging and the six bottles, to an unused tile, where the security-guard stood.

        I asked him where the other six bottles where.

        ‘In the check-outs’, (or something), he said.

        I told him the staff should keep an eye on the soda-department, and removed opened multi-packs then.

        Which I don’t think Aldi does.

        Because the same thing has happened to me, with multi-packs with two liter-bottles, of water, at Aldi St. Johns Shopping Centre, in Liverpool City Centre.

        This time I saw it was a PLU-code, on the packaging, (for the 12-pack with 0.5 liter-bottles with water), so I thought they could be registered at the check-out, as 1/12 * PLU-code, (like I used to do sometimes, when I worked as a retail manager, in the Rimi grocery chain, in Norway).

        But no.

        I couldn’t buy the water, the security-guard told me.

        I then said ok, and that he should tell the staff, to be more thorough, when they walk through the shop, (and remove opened multi-packs from the shop-area).

        The security-guard wondered if I wanted to speak with the Store Manager.

        I said, I didn’t have to, (because I thought it was a bit dum, to say the same things twice).

        I said I could just send Aldi an e-mail.

        (But today I couldn’t find your e-mail adresse, because it wasn’t one on your website, so I try to write on Facebook).

        The security-guard didn’t want me to go to the check-out.

        He insisted on calling the Store Manager on the calling-phone, in the mentioned un-used till.

        A guy in his 20’s with a hooded jacket, (which mostly covered his dark hair), appeared.

        I asked him if he was the manager.

        He said yes.

        I complained about that you had stopped selling the water, which I started to buy, on impulse, last automn, in the check-out.

        He didn’t say anything, other than that I couldn’t buy the water.

        Since it was from a multi-pack.

        I told him it was displayed, in the soda-department.

        And a collegue of the manager appeared, (a quite low guy with blond hair).

        He answered for the manager, that ‘someone’ had opened the multi-pack.

        I counted the bottles.

        ‘One, two, three, four, five, six’.

        And asked where the other six bottles where.

        They had fallen down from the display, the blond guy said.

        Also a brunette Aldi-woman in her 20’s appeard.

        So I spoke with four Aldi-staff, (I reackon the security-guard is also Aldi-staff and not e.g. Securitas-staff, so I also count him then).

        So it was a bit intimidating, I think.

        It wasn’t enough that I complained to one staff.

        I had to complain to four staff, who all of them placed themselves close to me.

        At Rimi I was thought that all staff should be able to recieve a complaint.

        But at Aldi you need four staff to do this, it seems.

        I then said that ‘I’ve helped you then, and put the bottles there, so you can put them in the storage’.

        And the blond guy said ‘fine’ or something.

        Then I went to pay for the sandwich.

        But the queues were very long and slow.

        So I decided I didn’t want to stand in them, just for the sandwich.

        (Also at Home Bargains I’ve seen a sign, that they are supposed to open a new till, if there are more than three custommers in the lines.

        This they also said at Rimi.

        But I remember also from Aldi in Sunderland, (the one close to the Forge, where I lived on campus, when I studied at University of Sunderland, in 2004/05).

        That they also had more than three custommers in each line, without opening a new till.

        So this is poor custommer-service I think).

        Also I remember spotting one 0.5 litre bottle of water, in one of the open check-outs, while I spoke with your four staff.

        I think you should really sell singe bottles of water.

        I used to work as a Store Manager, in Rimi, in Norway, and just let the custommers buy the raisins, from multi-packs, after they asked.

        They wanted to give a box of raisins, to crying babies.

        So you could just sell from open multi-packs, I think.

        If you don’t, you should at once remove opened multi-packs.

        Often open multi-packs of water, is displayed, in your shops.

        You could tell the check-out staff, to call the managers, when they find out, that a multi-pack has been opened.

        Yesterday five people were tricked by the opened multi-pack, and were refused to buy displayed water-bottles.

        If your cashier had called the manager, at once, about this.

        Then the manager could have taken the opened multi-pack, to the storage, and no custommers would be tricked.

        It was also strange that you first sell water in the check-outs, (where the purchases will be impulse-based.

        E.g. I thought, when I saw the water: ‘Oh, have Aldi started selling water in 0.5 litre bottles, that I didn’t know, that goes well with my sandwich’.

        And a few months later, I’m not allowed to buy a 0.5 litre bottle, which is displayed, in the soda-department.

        I know that Aldi is German, (at least I think so), but do you have to run the Aldi-shops, like it was the Gestopo that runs them?

        And why did you stop selling the 0.5 litre water-bottles?

        And why don’t you let custommers buy from opened multi-packs which are displayed, in the soda-department.

        And why don’t you remove opened multi-packs at once?

        And why don’t you open a new till, when there are more then three custommers in a queue, (like e.g. Home Bargains and Rimi/ICA does?).

      • Erik Ribsskog Well I had five complaints, hadn’t I.

        1. They were sold out of prawn and mayo-sandwiches.

        2. They were sold out of 0.5 litre-water bottles.

        3. They don’t let custommers buy from opened multi-packs which ‘someone’ have opened and are accessable to the custommers in the shop.

        4. They don’t remove opened multi-packs at once, (even if custommers aren’t allowed to buy from them).

        5. They have long queues in the shop, without opening a new till, (like e.g. Home Bargains do it it’s more than three custommers in the line).

        Also there is a sixth complaint:

        The security-guard wouldn’t recieve my complaint, (even if he brought the problem with the water-bottles up), but I had to explain to him, and then again to the manager, even if I wanted to just send an e-mail.

        That’s really some kind of harassment, and lack of respect for the custommers, I’d say.

        I’ll send an e-mail about this now, thanks for the replies!

      Hi,


      I just paste my complaint from your Facebook-page in this e-mail, so that I don’t have to explain about this for a fifth time:

      Best regards,

      • Hi,

        yesterday I was at Aldi in Walton Road, in Liverpool.

        I thought I’d buy a sandwich there.

        First there only ham & mustard-sandwiches there, (and no e.g. prawn & mayo-sanwiches, that I usually buy).

        Also there were no 0.5 liter water, in the check-outs, like usual, in this shop.

        I therefore grabbed a water-bottle in the soda-department.

        But when I got two the long queues in the two open tills, then an African-looking security-guard told me I couldn’t buy the water, (since it was only sold in multi-packs).

        I told him you just to sell water in the check-out.

        He asked me when that was.

        And I said first some weeks ago.

        And then some months ago.

        Since it’s been some months, (I think), since I bought a sandwich, (for brunch), in this shop.

        He then didn’t say anything, other than that I couldn’t buty the water.

        I then had to go back to the soda-department, with the water-bottle.

        I there noticed that from the open twelve-pack, it was only six bottles left, (including mine).

        So I brought the multipack-packaging and the six bottles, to an unused tile, where the security-guard stood.

        I asked him where the other six bottles where.

        ‘In the check-outs’, (or something), he said.

        I told him the staff should keep an eye on the soda-department, and removed opened multi-packs then.

        Which I don’t think Aldi does.

        Because the same thing has happened to me, with multi-packs with two liter-bottles, of water, at Aldi St. Johns Shopping Centre, in Liverpool City Centre.

        This time I saw it was a PLU-code, on the packaging, (for the 12-pack with 0.5 liter-bottles with water), so I thought they could be registered at the check-out, as 1/12 * PLU-code, (like I used to do sometimes, when I worked as a retail manager, in the Rimi grocery chain, in Norway).

        But no.

        I couldn’t buy the water, the security-guard told me.

        I then said ok, and that he should tell the staff, to be more thorough, when they walk through the shop, (and remove opened multi-packs from the shop-area).

        The security-guard wondered if I wanted to speak with the Store Manager.

        I said, I didn’t have to, (because I thought it was a bit dum, to say the same things twice).

        I said I could just send Aldi an e-mail.

        (But today I couldn’t find your e-mail adresse, because it wasn’t one on your website, so I try to write on Facebook).

        The security-guard didn’t want me to go to the check-out.

        He insisted on calling the Store Manager on the calling-phone, in the mentioned un-used till.

        A guy in his 20’s with a hooded jacket, (which mostly covered his dark hair), appeared.

        I asked him if he was the manager.

        He said yes.

        I complained about that you had stopped selling the water, which I started to buy, on impulse, last automn, in the check-out.

        He didn’t say anything, other than that I couldn’t buy the water.

        Since it was from a multi-pack.

        I told him it was displayed, in the soda-department.

        And a collegue of the manager appeared, (a quite low guy with blond hair).

        He answered for the manager, that ‘someone’ had opened the multi-pack.

        I counted the bottles.

        ‘One, two, three, four, five, six’.

        And asked where the other six bottles where.

        They had fallen down from the display, the blond guy said.

        Also a brunette Aldi-woman in her 20’s appeard.

        So I spoke with four Aldi-staff, (I reackon the security-guard is also Aldi-staff and not e.g. Securitas-staff, so I also count him then).

        So it was a bit intimidating, I think.

        It wasn’t enough that I complained to one staff.

        I had to complain to four staff, who all of them placed themselves close to me.

        At Rimi I was thought that all staff should be able to recieve a complaint.

        But at Aldi you need four staff to do this, it seems.

        I then said that ‘I’ve helped you then, and put the bottles there, so you can put them in the storage’.

        And the blond guy said ‘fine’ or something.

        Then I went to pay for the sandwich.

        But the queues were very long and slow.

        So I decided I didn’t want to stand in them, just for the sandwich.

        (Also at Home Bargains I’ve seen a sign, that they are supposed to open a new till, if there are more than three custommers in the lines.

        This they also said at Rimi.

        But I remember also from Aldi in Sunderland, (the one close to the Forge, where I lived on campus, when I studied at University of Sunderland, in 2004/05).

        That they also had more than three custommers in each line, without opening a new till.

        So this is poor custommer-service I think).

        Also I remember spotting one 0.5 litre bottle of water, in one of the open check-outs, while I spoke with your four staff.

        I think you should really sell singe bottles of water.

        I used to work as a Store Manager, in Rimi, in Norway, and just let the custommers buy the raisins, from multi-packs, after they asked.

        They wanted to give a box of raisins, to crying babies.

        So you could just sell from open multi-packs, I think.

        If you don’t, you should at once remove opened multi-packs.

        Often open multi-packs of water, is displayed, in your shops.

        You could tell the check-out staff, to call the managers, when they find out, that a multi-pack has been opened.

        Yesterday five people were tricked by the opened multi-pack, and were refused to buy displayed water-bottles.

        If your cashier had called the manager, at once, about this.

        Then the manager could have taken the opened multi-pack, to the storage, and no custommers would be tricked.

        It was also strange that you first sell water in the check-outs, (where the purchases will be impulse-based.

        E.g. I thought, when I saw the water: ‘Oh, have Aldi started selling water in 0.5 litre bottles, that I didn’t know, that goes well with my sandwich’.

        And a few months later, I’m not allowed to buy a 0.5 litre bottle, which is displayed, in the soda-department.

        I know that Aldi is German, (at least I think so), but do you have to run the Aldi-shops, like it was the Gestopo that runs them?

        And why did you stop selling the 0.5 litre water-bottles?

        And why don’t you let custommers buy from opened multi-packs which are displayed, in the soda-department.

        And why don’t you remove opened multi-packs at once?

        And why don’t you open a new till, when there are more then three custommers in a queue, (like e.g. Home Bargains and Rimi/ICA does?).

        Regards,

        Erik Ribsskog

      • Erik Ribsskog Well I had five complaints, hadn’t I.

        1. They were sold out of prawn and mayo-sandwiches.

        2. They were sold out of 0.5 litre-water bottles.

        3. They don’t let custommers buy from opened multi-packs which ‘someone’ have opened and are accessable to the custommers in the shop.

        4. They don’t remove opened multi-packs at once, (even if custommers aren’t allowed to buy from them).

        5. They have long queues in the shop, without opening a new till, (like e.g. Home Bargains do it it’s more than three custommers in the line).

        Also there is a sixth complaint:

        The security-guard wouldn’t recieve my complaint, (even if he brought the problem with the water-bottles up), but I had to explain to him, and then again to the manager, even if I wanted to just send an e-mail.

        That’s really some kind of harassment, and lack of respect for the custommers, I’d say.

        I’ll send an e-mail about this now, thanks for the replies!

        Best regards,

        Hei,

        det er en ting at dere ikke kan sjekke at det er en ekte
        innsyns-forespørsel, når dere sender dette.

        Det er en annen ting at dere virker uvillige, til å rydde opp, når
        misbruk av systemet deres oppdages, i ettertid.

        Dette er en veik og skuslete holdning, mener jeg.

        Man kan kanskje kalle det trylting, hvis man bruker den nye
        Ullensvang-standarden.

        Så dette er som noe evneveikt av dere, at dere ikke gidder å finne ut
        hvem tater-terroristen er nå, mener jeg.

        Så jeg sender om dette til Sivilombudsmannen.

        Siden dere får sånt her sendt fra staten, så regner jeg med at dere er
        en forvaltningsenhet.

        Og jeg mener at når dere sender sånn her dritt, så er dere ansvarlig
        for å rydde opp.

        Dere kan ikke sende meg til Fornyingsdepartementet.

        Det er deres jobb å ta dette med disse.

        Og så finne ut hvem tater-terroristen er.

        Og så kontakte meg, og fortelle navn og adresse, på skøyeren.

        Er dere så tjukke i huet, (hadde jeg nær sagt), at dere ikke skjønner dette.

        Er det så dum man blir, av å jobbe i staten?

        Hi,

        ok, and how about the awkward self-service-tills?
        Have you gotten a lot of complaints about them?
        And the antennas for Christmas.

        Am I the only one who have complained?

        And the chicken-steaks aren’t that delicous, I think.

        Has this really been escalated now, by the way?
        How can you explain two ‘Gremlin-attacks’ in a few days, in this shop?
        (The problem with the bank-terminals and the six self-service tills).

        I think it’s bad custommer support that you don’t explain to me, what was wrong, with the bank-terminal.


        One single phone-call.
        How hard can this be?

        This seems very strange to me.


        It’s like you don’t really try, I think.
        I’ve asked to escalate this.


        I can’t see that that has really happened.

        So I try again.

        Hi,

        I’m just back, after shopping at Farmfoods and Sainsbury’s.

        At Sainsbury’s a Securitas-guard patroled right in front of me, when I walked in to the shop.


        I thought that was almost like a provocation.

        (This was your Rice Lane shop, as usual).

        Also, in the self-service till, a Sainsbury-woman, (quite big), in her 40’s, suddently started lifting on my basket, to get to a basket, which was underneath mine.

        (From the custommer before me).


        I’ve seen at Asda.


        At the self-service tills there.


        That a sing says: ‘Always explain the intervention’.


        Your staff didn’t do this.


        She made me almost get a shock, I think I have to say.


        This was like something that could only have happened in Russia.


        I brought my own basket back to the entrance-area, (around where the Security-guard was).

        And it was no shortage of baskets there.


        So I think I have to call this a basket-case.


        Why do your staff act like they’re trained in Russia?

        This was like a provocation, I think.


        You should learn from Asda, which are owned by Wal-Mart, which is an American company.

        Also,  (unilke Asda, Tesco, etc), the self service tills in this shop.


        (Sainsbury’s Rice Lane).


        They are aqwardly placed.


        The carrier-bags are placed to far away from the custommers, I think.

        I think your better at own brand tinned food, than Asda.


        But you just forget my complaints about your noodles, (own brand), which tastes like dish-washing-water, I think.


        (Something like this).


        In your last e-mail.

        There’s no excuse for ignorance, a saying, (here in the UK), says.


        But I don’t think you’ve heard that saying.

        So I want to escalate all the complaints I’ve sent you, please.


        Also, your mashed potatoes, smell bad, which isn’t the case, with Asda’s own-label mashed potatoes.

        And Aldi are better at chicken-steaks, I think.

        Also, you don’t have the chicken-nuggets, (own label), which costs around 70 pence, that Tesco and Asda have.

        I wanted to please escalate all the complaints I’ve sent you, please.

        also, at Christmas, your quite old femal staff with blonde hair.


        In the check-out.


        (I bought so much food for Christmas that I used a trolley and went to the manual check-out).


        She had to have antennas on her, since it was Christmas, it seemed.

        She was almost crying, from this ridiculus costume, it seemed to me.


        It reminded me of when I worked as an assistant manager, at Rimi Bjørndal, in Norway, from 1996 to 1998.


        The Store Manager Kristian Kvehaugen said the check-out-staff had to wear santa-caps.

        But the Marocco-girl, in the check-out, took her red santa head-cap of all the time.

        But your staff didn’t do this.

        So it was a bit like a shop from Mars, last Christmas, I think.

        Also your chicken-steaks, for £1.15, doesn’t taste that delicous, I think.

        Hi,

        is your head-office in Moscow or something?

        Your reply just look like a mess to me.

        Those higher managers, (or what they were), were definetly just standing around.


        I know what I saw, I’m an experienced retail-manager, who has worked for almost a lifetime in retail.


        You just invent a reply, it seems to me.


        I have no confidence in you due to this.

        These people weren’t even in uniform/work-clothes.


        Even if that isn’t isn’t reflected in your reply, I think.

        Also, Sainsbury’s low-priced noodles, doesn’t taste good.


        And Sainsbury’s low-priced potato-mash smells bad, I think.

        (I tried it last week-end, but I just threw it, due to the smell, I have to admit).

        Good luck with the Moscowits, Marsians and Gremlins.

        Dear Mr Ribsskog

        Thank you for your further email.

        As detailed in my response of 2 March, your comments have been escalated to me as Senior Manager within Careline.  

        In this reply I detailed our final response to the incident in out Rice Lane store on 14 February relating to the inability to process your card payment.  Equally this was addressed in my colleague Katrina Dicks reply on 4 March.

        Similarly in my reply of 2 March I detailed the reason our self scan checkouts where not functioning on your visit to the store. Although it may have appeared my colleagues in store were simply standing around, I assure you this was not the case.

        The extensive detail provided in each of these responses, and those previously sent by my team, provide our final answer on these points. I hope you can use the information provided and I have explained actions of my colleagues in store.

        Hi,

        I’ve sent to your college, Katarina Dick, about this, earlier this week.

        (And asked her to escalate).


        So this is being dealt with already, I think I have to say.


        Regards,


        Erik Ribsskog

        PS.


        Here is more about this:

        Hi,

        ok, I think it’s strange that all your machines doesn’t seem to work.

        It was also a problem with your bank-terminal, at this shop, the week before, (I think it was).

        (Like I have discussed with your college Ajay Chand, like one can see, in one of the forwarded e-mails, with this e-mail).

        A bank-terminal that refuses to let people pay by card, when they have money, on their account.

        That must be pretty rear, I think.

        And that this store also have a group of six self-service tills, that doesn’t work, the next week.

        (Which I haven’t seen in any other store.

        And these tills have been around since 2005, at least, I remember.

        Because I saw them that year, at a big Sainsbury’s in Kensington, in London, where I lived for a couple of weeks, that year).

        So this seems very strange to me.

        It’s like an invasion of Gremlins, I think.

        And how about the group of higher managers, which were standing in between the two groups of self-service tills, on the mentioned Wednesday, (the ones who were monitoring me and the other custommers), do you have an explanation for this?

        Have you had problems with an invasion from Mars?

        I think it must have been something like this, since there has been so much strange ‘stuff’ going on in your store.

        Due to that there have been many problems, I would have wanted to escalate about this, please.

        It has been so much problems with the food-industry lately, (with the horse-meat-scandal etc), so I think this should be on a higher level in your organisation.

        It’s a problem with the whole industry, a lefleat I saw today at Tesco says.

        So due to this I want to escalate, please.

        Dear Mr Ribsskog

        Thanks for your email and the further information you provided.  I’m sorry to learn you’re unhappy with our response.

        As advised in our previous emails, if a card if declined in store we’re unable to establish the reason for this.  The instruction to decline the card comes direct from the card provider.  As I’m sure you can appreciate, we need to act on such requests.  

        The only way to resolve this is to contact your card provider.  They’ll be able to carry out a full investigation and establish the reason the card was declined.  Unfortunately, we’re unable to do this on your behalf.  

        Your card provider wouldn’t be able to provide us with any of this information.  This would constitute a breach of the Data Protection Act.  Your card provider will only be able to discuss this with you.  I’m sorry we’re not able to assist you further.  

        We appreciate you’ve taken the time to contact us again and hope you’re able to get this resolved 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.

        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.

        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.

        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.

        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?

        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.

        Hei,

        er dette e-post adressen til Petanque-klubben i Holmestrand?

        Jeg prøvde å sende til deres medlem norsklærer Samland, fra Sande videregående.

        Har han daua eller, (hadde jeg nært sagt), siden han ikke svarer?

        Det virker ikke som at listene deres er helt oppdaterte.


        Men de listene er kanskje ikke for skole-greier.

        Mvh.

        Du bomma litt på den Svartedauen-kjeftinga di, gjorde du ikke det?

        (Hvis du husker dette, fra skoleåret 1987/88).

        Jeg gikk på økonomilinja.

        For Dagbladet skriver nemlig det samme, som jeg skrev i en stil, som du
        klagde på, (virker det som):

        PS.

        Husker du at jeg gikk russeåret i Drammen?

        Hva het den samarbeidsordningen, som jeg kom inn på, siden jeg hadde så bra
        karakterer?

        Husker du det?

        Jeg har sendt til Buskerud og Vestfold og rektoren din om det, men ingen
        husker det.

        Hi,

        I read about this vacancy on CW Jobs, and wanted to please apply for this job.

        I’ve also worked for then years, as a retail-manager, in the Norwegian grocery-chain Rimi, (owned by ICA), so I have a lot of management-experience.

        Yours sincerely,


        Erik Ribsskog
