You have to give me something first== for me to make it right with you.

This post was inspire by the post of Roger Mucci this morning. Only I go down a similar but different road.

A couple months ago the Oregon State Realtor convention was held as Sunriver RESORT. It was also the same time as our 37th wedding anniversary so my non Realtor wife decided to go for the 3 days. There would be lounging by the pool in the sun, paperback book reading and other things she would enjoy while I was at the meetings.

The first night I took her to the fancy lodge for a fancy meals and the waiter got NOTHING right and the food was NOT cooked right.

Breakfast with a different waiter was no different.

The lodge sent a survey and I let them "have it". I got a response " we are sorry, please book 2 nights at $200 a night and we will give you a FREE meal". Hence give me something before I make it right. Your thoughts?

Good morning Rob. This is very sad and it makes me scratch my head. You're right and I wouldn't go back there for free. Too bad.

Their reponse is insulting.  Walmart has a better attitude and policy than that!  Thank you for the Christmas Card!

Rob - I think I would let the convention arrangers know. Maybe if the resort lost the business they would work on their customer service more.

Ah Rob, that's a bummer and it should not require any effort on your part to get a comp of some sort. The lack of concern about customer service surprises me. Makes us realize how powerful it is when we treat our clients very, very well.
