Thursday Cheers and Jeers

Our weekly installment of the good, the bad and the downright fugly in customer service adventures:

Cheers

  • TR Sales - Roy's a heck of a good (and honest!) mechanic. Which, as far as I'm concerned, means he's worth his weight in gold.
  • Family Foot Clinic - Doctor Deiana is a great guy, and he definitely knows his stuff.
  • City of Regina - considering the amount of snow we got this week, it's hard to be unhappy with the snow removal service. Granted, the residential streets are a mess, but they're getting there.

Jeers

  • Western Pizza (Broadway Ave.) - I had a really pathetic excuse for a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch there yesterday.
  • Car dealerships. 44 dollars for a replacement gas cap! Wow. I wonder what the mark-up is on that one?

So, who's on your naughty/nice list this week?

Cheers:

Ngoc Anh restaurant on Smith street - very friendly, and a good buffet for lunch.

Domo gas - where else can you get 3 to 4 cents off per litre AND get full service?

And I agree with the cheer for the City's snow removal team. Good job! But I'd also like to add a cheer my wonderful neighbours who snow-blowed not only driveways and sidewalks, but also the street for the entire block. It made it possible to take the car to work!

Huh. No jeers today. Wonder what's wrong with me.

Continuing with the Jeers keep that toilet bowl of a company Employment Network up on your site.

Go to the saskjobs website to find out exactly how a search firm should run.

Executive Source is a local outfit that does recruitment for a number of prominant businesses.

They are advertising a position that is seeking a CEO for a company called IPAC-CO2. There is a full description of the company they represent, and the position requirements. Well what is the major difference?

Employment Network is a rag tag outfit that only puts out there, "our client" etc. They don't tell you who they represent, and last week a Commentator noticed they are running the same advertisements. That is a fundamental difference.

I guess Employment Network and their Owner could tell you that companies they have represented in advertisements include; Big Sky Farms, and a host of companies that have long since disappeared. Something to think about if you are thinking about using that organization's services.

I agree with the cheers to the city for the snow removal. They usually get negative comments, but they have done a good job this time.

To my neighbours who got out their snowblowers and did the entire street to make it passable. Good job by all. How did I chip in? Timmy's for all!
