Comments on: Free Dvd you say? http://dumbcustomers.com/2007/11/08/free-dvd-you-say/ A place to air your grievances.

Our store also sells the free DVDs that come with the Daily Mail. Those series are the annoyance of my life. Customers are so ready to kick up a song and dance about a DVD which I'm sure most of them will never watch in all their life. (They are too busy harrassing me for starters!) Heaven forbid that our store, which easily racks up over a hundred customers an hour, runs out of these DVDs! To make matters worse, these are generally the people who turn up at 3 or 4 PM in the afternoon, in the full knowledge that our store opens at 9 AM and closes at 5:30 PM. They yell at me as if it's my fault, or even my problem. I think they live for those DVDs! I personally can't wait until they stop handing them out.

A charity we deal with at work sends out free pamphlets (in what essentially is a way to increase their mailing list) in response to these forms that people fill in and send back free post. Mostly these are completed in an almost illegible scrawl, with key parts of the address missing, or sometimes completely missing. However, it doesn't stop people ringing up and ranting at the call centre people about how outraged they are for not having received their free pamphlet and that they will never have any association with the charity ever again. All because they never received the free pamphlet. The audacity of some people amazes me sometimes when it comes to free gifts.
