Hi,
ok, I don’t want to stop eating your very good dinners, so I think I’m going to try to continue to shop in your chain.
I hope your staff doesn’t try to murder me again.
(Like it could seem to me).
I also thought you would write something like that you were now going to leave the cereal-packs in the boxes, when you display them, above the freezers, to stop the packs from falling down.
I can’t see that you’ve written something like that.
Is it because you think the packs look better when you display them without the packaging?
Farmfoods is really about frozen food, to me.
So that’s why I don’t buy all my food there.
I think you are good at frozen food, but I don’t see Farmfoods as a full-worthy alternative to e.g. Tesco, Asda or Sainsburys.
Since your really only good on frozen-food, I think.
If I’m allowed to be frank.
So that’s why I just go to your shops for the chicken-steaks.
I don’t think I’m the only custommer you have who does that.
It’s a bit strange if you try to kill me because of that, I think.
But these are modern times, I guess.
With all the terror and Al Quaida and all.

Hi,
today I shopped at Farmfoods in Walton Rd., in Kirkdale.
The brunette lesbian, (I think she must be), seemingly hid
behind a frezer and pushed to boxes of Wheetabix, down on a
freezer, as if to make a load noise, as if to scare me.
And then this cashier suddently appeared from behind that
freezer, to put the boxes up.
I’m an old Store Manager, who has worked for around 15 years, in
grocery-shops.
So I thought this was a bit strange.
It was like she terrorised the custommers on purpose, I
think.
I couldn’t see any other custommers, in the shop, when I was
there, (at around 5.40 PM, I think it was).
Perhaps this cashier has scared all the custommers away from the
shop?
I’m not sure if this was on purpose, but it seemed that way, to
me.
So I thought I should write an e-mail about this.
I have earlier written to you, since you stopped selling my
favoritte chicken-steaks, (Chicken Wiglets).
But I’ve found a new favoritte now, hot and spicy chicken
steaks, (which you sell 3 for 2 pounds).
They are much better than the chicken steaks at Sainsburys I
think.
So therefore I drop by Farmfoods, before I go to Sainsburys,
sometimes.
Just to buy this good tasting dinner.
But I didn’t like that the cashier seemingly tryed to kill me by
trying to scare me, so that I would get a heart-attack, or
something.
If that’s what she tried to do.
She didn’t want to say ‘bye’ or ‘tara’ eighter.
Only ‘see you’.
(When I said all three).
I think ‘bye’ is more polite than ‘see you’, if I’m not
mistaking.
And the cashier didn’t apologise for the load noise eighter,
when she put the cereal-boxes back up on the shelf, over the
freezer.
Maybe you should let the cereal-packs stay in the box, if the
fall down, and make a load sound, like this.
It was almost like it sounded like a bomb, now in these
terror-times.
Regards,
Erik Ribsskog

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.

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.

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 amsorry 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.
Whena 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?

Thanks for your

I’ve contacted
the Rice lane

discussed this
with
NicolaEdwards, the
Customer
Services Desk.
She’sasked me to
send her
apologies and
was
disappointed
to hear of
your
experience.
She’sadvised when a

Therecan be several

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.

was in your
supermarket,
in Rice Lane,
in Liverpool,
on Saturday,
(14/2).
My
visa card
payment was
first refused,
even if there
was enough
money, on the
account.
I
haven’t
experienced
this before.
(Even
if I’ve worked
for almost a
lifetime, in
retail, in
Norway).
Do
you need the
recepit-number
etc., to
investigate
this?
