I went in to Rona with my husband, with some measurements and design ideas for our kitchen. We wanted to sit down and talk to someone about possibilities, but, the way they work it is that you drop off the measurements, pick some styles, and they come up with the ideas. So, we handed over our drawings and measurements to the woman, who took a cursory look at the pencil on graph paper drawings, and huffed in displeasure. "These are awful"
The kitchen, oddly enough, is 15' wide... 180", and darned if my graph paper wasn't exactly 180 grids wide. So, the scale is perfect, one square to 1". Neatly drawn, and everything precisely in its place. She proceeded to complain because she couldn't tell where the window moulding was. Couldn't tell what size of appliances we'd planned for, couldn't tell.... argh. So, she essentially said "Go home and take proper measurements for when you come back for your quote."
It was almost 2 weeks before we got called back to our appointment, and when we got called back, she AGAIN bitched that the drawings made no sense, and told me to take proper measurements. She also informed me that she'd passed my file on to someone else. Phew.
When we got in, almost our entire appointment consisted of confirming the measurements that were already on the drawing, and correcting incorrect numbers she'd scribbled all over everything. She hadn't done ANYthing with our file. At the end of the meeting, the man we were talking with looked at the whole thing and said, "This was an awesome drawing, I don't understand the confusion."
I echoed his sentiment, and explained that we must have done something to piss the woman off when we walked in, because she'd been very rude. He apologized, and made a comment to the effect of "I doubt you did a thing."
Well, today, I got a phone call. From the gentleman at Rona. He said he'd sat his manager down for a talk this morning, and explained the situation. Between them, he said they can count several such complaints about this particular employee. They asked that I please write down my complaint and drop it off.
Yikes. That's huge. It's a long leap from wanting to vent and complain about the woman, to participating in what is likely the steps to getting her fired.
Would you write the letter?
