Complaints gift?

yeah ive found all the estee lauder companys are very serious about their coustmer service.

Ive never reported a complaint but ive had several instances one where i had over 600$ cash in my wallet and was fully intending to spend almost all of it there and guess what nobody would even talk to me!
So i simply just left and went to the other MAC stand in the mall that i happened to be in. And found my now MA whos preety much the sweetest person ever. She gave me tons of free stuff also.

Usually i go into the MAC stores/stands without wearing makeup not always intentionally but usually thats just how it happens hahaha
and alot of them will just look at me with no makeup and figure ooo shes not buying anything so why should i waste my time well i was taught in my coustmer experience to say hello to everybody even children who entered the shop and ask if i could asist them and if i was busy with a coustmer right then you were supposta say that your with a costumer right now but youd be available to help them shortly or direct them to somebody who wasnt busy.

But ive met alot of people who dont take their jobs seriously. And i think sometimes making commission on a job just worsens the employees attitude beacuse their only seeing a $$$ sign not a person. And its like they get all pissed off if you dont spend all your money for food on their stuff. pleeeze

i doubt they'd give it to, that's not really the point of the program...

i mean that's rude, but not $42+ worth of rude

I didn't make the complaint to get a free gift. I made it for the fact that I travel an hour and a half solely to buy my MAC stuff and think that head office need to be aware of the way they are treating customers. I'd also like to add that I've had two friends go there to buy me gifts and stood around for 20 minutes, tried to ask for assistance and got ignored. I'm just trying to address the fact that the most easily persuaded demographic (basically, the group of kids that MAC could get into MAC for pretty much life) are getting neglected.

They asked me what my favourite product was, I said the 187 because due to the MAs at that certain store and them telling me how to wash my brushes incorrectly, £30 worth of brushes got ruined and I think I deserve to at least claim back what got ruined.

Surgical spirits. They said any perm. staining would come out with that and I said "Are you sure?" and got the "I know what I'm talking about, I'm the one working here" attitude.

Hence why they shed quite a few hairs. They are usable but not in the state they should be.

I think you should ask for the 187, they didn't say pick any gift under £30, so why not. It's a shame the cost does not come out of the salaries of those very rude MAs

Honestly the issue with doing that is that while rudeness on the part of retail associates DOES in fact happen, it's not uncommon for people to perceive slights or blow something out of proportion in the hopes of gaining some sort of compensation. Were a program such as this implemented, it would most certainly cause issues within the company, and would definitely deprive MAs of hard earned money that they should not necessarily have to pay.

I don't think she meant it's rudely, you asked for our opinions and she gave you hers. You didn't tell us any specifics, she wouldn't have known your brushes were ruined.

well i do not think it is cheeky at all, you deserve a 187 and an apology.
i was sure you were going to say it was harvey nichols,since they have a rep on the net(mac world) of being notoriuosly rude.

I sent my first e-mail last Wednesday, got a response Friday but then again, they might not have people manning the computers on a weekend so you'll probably have an e-mail soon.

Check your junk mail btw, all my MAC stuff goes there.

Mac does the best they can on trying to make shure their costumers are being taken care of right.

Im glad they gave you something for all your troubles they do that alot.

the only problem i see with them giving out free stuff to people that complain is ive heard of several people sending in false complaints just so they could recieve free merch.
