Oh God! There's a complaints book. You complain and they say that there are two sides to every story and better again they now have your name, address and telephone number. You've just set yourself up for a nasty retaliation.

Those two ladies. Do they just have something against English speaking women? There's a kid of disease around i.e women who hate other women. Even my favourite lady hates other women drivers. She won't concede an inch of space on the road or at a junction to them, even refuses to allow another fe...

...male driver from a side road, some girl takes her time taking off at traffic lights, Mrs Matt blows them to kingdom come etc. 

Use your charm Maggie. The two ladies in Longo, just thank them for all their help even though they wish you dead. Keep smiling and they'll eventually get confused and start fighting amongst themselves. It always works. Take this advice from a veteran of Customer Service of over 50 years experience. The customer always wins.

I'll have to have another word on the quiet with Jenni though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well according to my hubby he’s not setting foot in the place again in any case. I don’t think she will forget us anyway after what my husband  called her, and I have to add he doesn’t use language ever, but he was incensed and which I’m in no doubt she understood English perfectly!!

They are not worth bothering about, we’ll take our money elsewhere, for a better class of insult 😊😊😊😊

Well! There you are Maggiep - married to a sensible man in in one shot he proves the customer always wins - he (at least) is spending his money elsewhere. You married the guy, and so must trust him and you too are toddling away from Longo. Keep it that way and sooner or later Longo ferretería will be paying big money to win you and Mr Maggiep back. I can nearly hear Jenni saying "Hey Matt, you cocky Irish git, Longo won't pay a penny." But, yes they will, they must advertise, pay staff, buy stock etc. In fact, they must pay for everything in which to attract The Customer. And Maggiep, you're the customer for which they paid nothing and you went in there willingly and spent a small fortune and they did everything they could to ensure you and your husband will never go in there again. Read the paragraph again - Longo cost themselves money for something of which they had being paying nothing. 

Good Clientele for Sales = Customer Service (sales, aftersales, customer service, happy staff, smiles, good products etc). Or in one word = Appearance/Presentation (well!- two words).

If you think I'm wrong look at the staff performance next time you visit a farmacía. They're good, well presented, helpful, talkative, smiling and give  you the impression they're there because of you and you're not an interruption to their day. 

Forget about complaints books forever. The Terrible Two would look at a subject in there as a Badge of Honour. (Psssssssst! - whispered from a Paddy).

Thank you once again for you comments. Like you I’ve also been in customer service, and I was always taught the ‘customer is king’ so from now on if people are rude, nasty etc I shall leave the Goodson the counter and walk away. No excuse for rudeness, and there’s a lovely little ferreteria on the way into Mojacar, the lad there is so nice, so helpful, nothing to much trouble. So he gets all our business from now on.

Sorry you’ve had such a bad experience at Longo's, Maggie, however I have to say that, my dealings with them has always been just the opposite, I’ve found the ‘girls’ to be friendly, charming and helpful.
