有沒有一家公司做過一件非常惱人的事情，以至于你發(fā)誓再也不買他們的產(chǎn)品了?

Yes, Nike.
I was called for an interview atNike for part time job in Germany. Interview went great.
They told me that on joining Iwould get Nike sportswear set and shoes. I will also get flat 30% discount instore and 45% online.
Of course, I was super excited!!
They asked me to come for a trialday on Saturday, the most busy day at the store as everything is closed onSunday in Germany.
I did not mind. They obviouslyneed extra hands on busy day.
So, I did 8 hours shift on thebusiest day from 10 am to 6 pm with only 15 minutes break. Hiring manager cameto me 3–4 times to make sure everything is fine.
In the middle of the day, hetells me that everything is going great and he thinks I am doing a great job.So they had absolutely no complaints about me.
After to 4–5 hours, I am dyingfor this day to end but I keep on working with utmost energy.
It 6 pm in the clock. Storemanager thanks me and tells me that he will get back to me on Monday.
As it was a rush hour I did notask anything further. And he suddenly tells me that they don’t pay for trialday.
Dude, are you f*****g kidding me?
In Germany, you are supposed toget paid even for trial day. Especially when it is as long as 8 hours.
Still I somehow keep my calm andconsole myself thinking they are going to give me sportswear set and shoes onjoining, that’s definitely worth 100 euros!!
I come home and keep my calm for7 days.
Nobody calls me back.
After two weeks I write an Emailto the hiring manager asking their feedback and if they have any news for me.
Nobody cared to reply.
They never replied.
………
I would never buyanything from the brand which lacks courtesy to inform their decision
and
is cheap enoughto get their work done for free from students who are trying to make theirliving.

是的,耐克。
之前，我被叫去耐克公司面試在德國的兼職工作。面試棒極了。
他們告訴我，我一加入就會得到耐克運(yùn)動服套裝和鞋子。我還可以在商店買東西打三折，在網(wǎng)上買打四折。
當(dāng)然，我非常興奮!他們讓我周六來進(jìn)入試用期，這是店里最忙的一天，因?yàn)榈聡苋斩疾粻I業(yè)。我不介意。他們顯然在忙碌的日子里需要額外的人手。
所以，我在最忙的一天從上午10點(diǎn)到下午6點(diǎn)上了8個小時的班，只有15分鐘的休息時間。招聘經(jīng)理來找我3-4次，確保一切正常。

There is a pizza chain here in Canada who became famous fortheir “30 minutes” or its free: Pizza Pizza.
Let’s be clear - their pizza,on a good day, is mediocre at best; but every once and awhile - very rarely -they come out with an exotic pizza topping combination that just works. So onenight, about 15 years ago, I figured I’d order pizza from them.
They gave me the usual timeguarantee - told me when to expect my pizza, and if not there by then, it wouldbe free.
30 minutes pass - no pizza.
Now, I’m not a petty man andI’m not looking to score a free pizza - so I give the driver another 5 minutes.
Nothing.
I call Pizza Pizza again andinquire about the status of delivery and inform them that the pizza has not yetarrived. They said that the driver was outside my house trying to get a hold ofme.
I walk outside - no one isthere. I’m angry now that they are lying to me, and I told them I’m not payingfor the pizza.
As soon as I complete thatstatement, the driver speeds around the corner and delivers the pizza - itlooks like this:
I didnt pay for it. And I have not bought a single thing fromthat chain in 15 years.
Edit: I did,initially, accept the pizza and when I got inside - that’s what it looked like.Pizza pizza told me I had to pay for it, and that they are sending the driverback.
We didn’t eat it. I shouldhave been more clear. Driver had to absorb the cost of the pizza - normally, Iwouldn’t let that happen, but he lied.
I did keep the garlic breadand soft drinks though :)

加拿大有一家披薩連鎖店，因其“30分鐘”或免費(fèi)服務(wù)而出名。
讓我們明確一點(diǎn)——他們的披薩，大多數(shù)時候，也就一般。但偶爾他們也會推出一種異國風(fēng)味的披薩配料組合，味道還不錯，這種情況很少見。
大約15年前的一個晚上，我想向他們點(diǎn)披薩。
他們給了我時間保證——告訴我什么時候能吃到我的披薩，如果到時還沒到，那就是免費(fèi)的。30分鐘過去了——沒有披薩。我不是一個小氣的人，我也不想得到一個免費(fèi)的披薩，所以我再給司機(jī)5分鐘。

還是沒到。
我再次致電Pizza Pizza詢問送貨情況，告知他們披薩還沒有到。他們說那個司機(jī)在我的房子外面試圖聯(lián)系我。
我走到外面——沒有人。我很生氣，因?yàn)樗麄冊隍_我，我告訴他們我不付披薩的錢。
我剛說完這句話，司機(jī)就飛快地拐過街角，把披薩送來了——至少我看起來是這樣的:



我沒有付錢。我已經(jīng)有15年沒從那個連鎖店買過一件東西了。
編輯:一開始我接受了披薩，當(dāng)我進(jìn)去的時候，披薩看起來就是這個樣子。店家告訴我我得付錢，他們要把司機(jī)送回去。
我們沒有吃。我應(yīng)該說得更清楚些。司機(jī)必須承擔(dān)披薩的成本——通常情況下，我不會讓這種情況發(fā)生，但他撒了謊。
不過我還是保留了大蒜面包和軟飲料。

Walgreens ran this customer rewards program in which youaccumulated points and you could, whenever you felt like it, redeem thosepoints for discounts from products.
Many of their promotionsincluded bonus points. “+1000 pts if you buy this 12 pack of Coke!”
It was a basic rewardsprogram. The points translate to dollars. You get it.
So I have one of these storesright by my house. I stop there frequently.
I kept savings these pointsup. I’d saved them up for over 4 years. I had close to $100 in my account. Tobe used whenever on products at their store.
I stopped in to pick up somedrinks/snacks on the way home.
The lady says, “Would youlike to use any of your balance rewards?”
I say, “How much do I haveright now?” (I always checked. I was enjoying stacking them up.)
She says, “You have $21.”
Record stop.
“Hold up, I had a lot morethan that in there. I’ve been saving for years?”
She says, “Yes they recentlychanged the policy. Only your most recent 12 months can count towards thepurchase.”
I’m pissed off.
I say, “Well - let’s put the$21 towards this purchase.”
She says, “You can only use$5 for each purchase.”

I put the $5 towards thepurchase.
I haven’t fully cut Walgreensoff but I am in the process of cutting them off. I spend about 80% less therenow.
Just as a matter of principle— I’ll make sure their competitor across the street gets multiples of the $79that they took with the cheap policy change.
I hate shady businesstactics.
Lesson: Any time you getpoints with a store — use them quickly.

Yes - Air Asia!
This was my most awaited trip to India from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. While Iwouldve loved to fly a Malaysia Airlines anytime,i chose Air Asia because ofits availability.
I was at the airport at 5ampost the security. I've woken up by 1am and was at the airport by 3am. Its a2.30 hrs flight back home to Chennai, India hence i was holding my sleep forthe flight.
Then came the announcement byAirAsia crew that there was a delay stating there was bad weather conditions inChennai, India. The crew was convincing us there is no way the flight can betaken since weather conditions are severe depression and thunderstorms in thedestination.
So we waited : For an hour..Two.. Three.. Four..! At this point many passengers lost their cool and againchecked the status - same reason on bad weather conditions given by the crew.By now it was morning in India and I called home only to know its bright andshiny in my city :) We checked in all weather forecast channels from BBC tolocal channels, it confirmed there was no concern on weather.
It was past 12pm now -remember I reached airport by 3am! We were not allowed to go beyond a point inKLIA airport, hence no access to decent food. What looked like a perfectboarding place few hours ago started looking like a flood rescue camp -Children were crying and wailing.. Elderly people were sleeping on the chairsand floor. Inspite of this the crew maintained they couldn't take the flightbecause of bad weather until people started shouting back at them saying we arelocalities of Chennai and we know the sun is up and shining.
Finally, the boarding startedaround 4pm or so. Everyone were tired, hungry, sleepy.. The passengers lookeddesperate to reach home and pushing people to get in the line. All the whileAir Asia dint move its arse to support its passenger's by arranging some basicslike food or water. Forget the adults.. heck nothing was given even tochildren.


最后，大約在下午4點(diǎn)開始登機(jī)。每個人都累了，餓了，困了。乘客們看起來絕望地想回家，并推擠著排隊(duì)。在整個過程中，亞洲航空公司一直都沒有在通過提供一些基本的食物或飲用水來安撫乘客。別說成人了，該死的，甚至連孩子們也沒有得到任何東西。
他們隱瞞了那天人手不足的事實(shí)——事實(shí)上是航班不足，編了一個關(guān)于惡劣天氣的荒謬故事，這讓我忍無可忍。
登機(jī)時，我記得曾在空姐身旁停了下來，看著她的眼睛說:“謝謝你在過去11個小時里跟我們開的玩笑。”這是我最后一次乘坐這該死的航空公司!”
這是2011年——8年過去了，我正在履行對自己的承諾!
