I am getting heartily sick of the neediness of business. "Please give us feedback". "Tell us how we did". I have no idea how good this product I bought a week ago is - it will take a month or more to know. If my vets visit was not acceptable, I would have said at the time. Not in an anonymous questionnaire later. I am not constantly recommending things to my friends. They are not constantly asking. If they ask, I will tell them the truth. But there are probably a lot of variables to account for. You will know if I was satisfied if and when there is a repeat order. The end.

@SteveClough@metalhead.club Agreed... and also you want me to rate standard food items. They were as expected.

@SteveClough@metalhead.club WHY ARE YOU DOWNRATING OUR SURVEYS? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?! PLS RE-DO AND SCORE US 'OUTSTANDING' ON ALL METRICS OR WE WILL PESTER YOU TO DEATH WITH FOLLOW-UP INQUIRIES AS TO YOUR UNHEALTHY ANTI-CORPORATE BIAS AND IRRATIONAL HATRED OF FREE ENTERPRISE - WE ARE MERELY SEEKING A LITTLE HONEST FEEDBACK -- COMPLY AND OBEY OR FACE CONSEQUENCES!

@SteveClough@metalhead.club & often they send you the "rate our product" email before your product has even ARRIVED in the mail.

@SteveClough@metalhead.club They’re not actually seeking feedback. They have put you on a marketing stop campaign masquerading as a survey, unfortunately.

@SteveClough@metalhead.club Another annoyance is when they ask for feedback, but the feedback is only wanted if it's praise. It's obviously just some manager wanting to brag with good review ratings.

@SteveClough@metalhead.club I get a lot of those emails asking how something was I bought etc. I don’t bother with them. It’s called the trash.
