I'm not usually a fan of White Spot food, but I was online
looking for some comfort food takeout. I wanted to order and pick up so I could
take a few meals over to my Mom who still lives on her own.
The website seemed pretty good, and I could choose a time
to pick up. When I arrived at the restaurant, they even had a special
entrance for pick up, and my order was in a large brown bag ready to go. Very
efficient.
So when I got to my Mom's house, she was happy to have a
few meals ready to go for the next few days. The disappointment was when we
opened one of the meals and all there was inside was a chicken breast. Hmm,
where's the potatoes and veggies?
Since we gave my Mom an iPad this Christmas, I wanted to
show her how to use the Internet if she wanted to complain. Mom is famous
for writing letters when she receives bad service and still does. So I pulled
up the White Spot customer feedback page and we sent in a complaint.
To my amazement, I received a call from the restaurant
manager within 24 hours!
He apologized, took responsibility and took my address to
send out an apology card and a gift certificate. I say - to my amazement,
because in this connected world online, I rarely see companies doing a great
job of monitoring their customer feedback pages and social media.
Kudos to White Spot.
Cheers
