The Word Cloud

Many years ago I bought a pair of blue Italian sandals from a well known and rather upmarket shoe shop whose initials spell the name of a particular type of music. I expect you know the one I mean. Only a few weeks later, one of the straps ripped in half so I took the sandals back to ask for a replacement. The shop assistant examined the sandals carefully, then looked at me disapprovingly. 

'You've been wearing these!'
 
I pointed out the rather astonishing fact that sandals are meant to be worn, but cannot be worn when straps break after only a few weeks. The assistant finally relented and gave me a refund. 

Call me old-fashioned, or optimistic, or possibly even naive, but I thought such experiences had gone out with the Bay City Rollers  and Tiswas. But in the spirit of so many Olde English traditions at Christmas, it seems that they are being revived. 

Last week, I rushed into a well known and rather upmarket supermarket (the one that prides itself on its foodie image) to buy some last-minute presents. I headed straight for the confectionery aisle and chose five boxes of chocolates. Two of them were very expensive, but they were for my agent and her business partner and they deserve a treat. But when I came to wrap them up, something wasn't right. I looked at the best-by date. Surely I'd read that wrongly. It couldn't be. It was. I asked my husband to confirm what I thought I was seeing. Yes, he said. The best-by date on the two boxes of expensive chocolates I'd bought on 13 December was 31 October 2010. Six weeks out of date. 
 
Yesterday, we had to buy some food so it was a good opportunity to take the chocolates back to the supermarket. I showed the chocolates to the woman behind the till and showed her the best-by date and my receipt to prove when I'd bought them. She blanched. Her colleague, hearing the sharp intake of breath, peered over her shoulder. She blanched, too, and looked at me nervously. The words 'Trading Standards' hovered unspoken in the air. I commented in a friendly way that I had also been a bit surprised, bearing in mind the excellent reputation of the supermarket. 
 
Well, it had been excellent up till then, anyway. The first woman, whose badge revealed that she was a departmental manager, asked me if I'd like cash or would prefer a refund on my card. A refund on my card, please. 

She fiddled about on the till. Then she looked up at me. 

'I'm afraid, madam, that as you are returning goods that have now passed their best-by date, we cannot give you a refund. But you are welcome to choose chocolates to the same value and we will give you an exchange.' 
 
She made it sound as though it was my fault that the chocolates were six weeks past their best, or that perhaps I'd been holding on to them since the summer. It was a good thing my husband was browsing elsewhere in the shop otherwise they'd still be sweeping up the plaster from the ceiling. I pointed out, very politely but very firmly, that I had no intention of spending £32 on chocolates and I wanted a refund, please. I got it. And a rather sheepish apology. 

Actually, that hasn't been the only example of  Olde English service. Also last week, our Freesat box went bonkers and refused to work properly. My husband rang the manufacturers. Don't worry, they said, we'll exchange it. Great, we thought. After all, it was only seven months old. The delivery man came, collected our bonkers box and brought a new one. It had paint on the cable. It had scratches on the face. And it was a cheaper model than ours. My husband rang the manufacturers. Apparently, when they say they will exchange the Freesat box they don't mean they'll exchange it for a new one, even though the broken machine is still under guarantee. No, no, no. They will exchange it for a reconditioned one. Oh, had they forgotten to say that before? Oh dear.

My husband told them that the replacement box was the cheaper model and we wanted a replacement of the one we'd sent back. The manufacturers said they'd send the proper one last Thursday. We waited in all day. My husband rang twice to check the delivery man was coming. Oh yes, he was on his way. He didn't appear. 

But he did appear first thing on Friday morning. He was a cheerful man. No, he said, we hadn't been on the delivery list for the previous day. Anyway, we handed over the Freesat box, he handed over the new one, and off he went. My husband unpacked the new box. It had a huge chip knocked out of the front, and it was once again the cheaper model.  My husband got on the phone. Plaster. Ceiling. You get the idea. 

This morning, the cheerful delivery man was back. We have our third reconditioned model, and this time it's  the right specification. Will we be buying from that company again? Strangely enough, we won't.
