welshbairn Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 1 hour ago, Ludo*1 said: Me and my partner received a gift voucher for a holiday in Loch Lomond from her parents at Christmas. I'm a teacher and she is a shift worker so it only left very select weekends available. The voucher expires at the end of March, so we decided she'd try and use her holidays for each weekend in March so we could book one as it coincides with my birthday too. The other half finally gets her rota and we are free pretty much every weekend in March. She received a rude as hell guy on the phone who basically said they're fully booked each weekend in March (Fair enough thems the breaks as disappointing as it is, it's the risk we took I suppose) but the guy went on to say, before my other half could even reply, 'And if you can't do midweek, you may as well just give your voucher to someone else' and hung up. Fuming with the dick and we have no point of recourse. Shite laugh and incredible rudeness. No chance of cashing it in or extending the period? You'd have thought there would be some management discretion to avoid putting off potential repeat bookers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you can imagine, she's not exactly wanting to phone back at the moment and if I phone, I'd end up getting banned as opposed to receiving any discretions after that call. Will try again in a few days out of hope, but can't see it after the response from the first guy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the guy was just a grumpy overworked low level c**t. And play the sympathy card over disappointing the in-laws rather than slagging off the guy you talked to, most bosses will defend their staff if they're just being strict with the rules, even with a bolshie attitude. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loch Lomond and it’s environs (no bad thing tbh)? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Black Panther was a great film. Not sure why anyone cares about shite like the Oscars though. A massive load of bollocks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
