I've had the same problem @ Swiss Chalet, since we have moved here last summer we have been to Swiss Chalet 3 times, every time the staff have been so rude and they have messed up our orders... example I ordered Chicken Caesar salad .. OK how do u mess that up??? they gave me Cesar salad with no chicken, it was a pick up order and I didn't notice there was no chicken until we got home.. so I ate it and hubby called and complained

grrrrrr doesnt it make you so mad??? future shop here isnt bad at all im sorry yours has been terrible that really sucks because they usually are so good .. and nothing is worse than crappy food service how aggravating for you guys !!!! update on the staples situation so far they have transferred my email complaint to two different places .....now apperantly its going to the proper general manager in charge of the particualr store .. I threatened to post my dissatisfaction on my social networking pages and becasue i have so many networks they have jumped into action rather quickly lol .. ok I know its mean but its soo fustrating and they need to get on top of this bad service bit soemtimes it really means you have to get abit tough with larger companies to get there wayward habits to change

Try being a female buying a car. Look into my eyes when you talk to me don't talk to my chest.. no my hubby doesn't need to drive it. Yes I like the mirror on the sun visor. Hubby is busy I can sign the papers by myself thankyou. Come back when you are sure what you want..ouch.. that was the worst of all..

^ OMG, car dealers and mechanics are the worst.. I've been an avid car (and motorcycle) lover since I can remember, I have helped my dad, uncles, cousins and husband rebuild so many cars, dirt bikes and motorcycles... yet when i take my car in for repairs (it's 2 damn cold in the winter for me 2 hang out in the garage) they talk to me like I'm a moron, and try to charge me for things I know aren't wrong .. and yes look me in the face when ur talking to me, my breast can't answer you
and when I went to buy my car the guy says "maybe you should let your husband, take it for the test drive" Jamie (hubby) looked at him like "dude, your in trouble now" but I just said "F***, this let's go buy a car somewhere else" and left

I never shop anywhere where the staff talk down to me, or i ask for their manager. It shouldn't matter whether you have tits or not, everyone has a brain!

Wow, that sucks guys I hate the Staples in my town but not for the same reasons, at mine as soon as you are 10 feet in the door, the staff start to hover like your the last zebra in the jungle and then they pounce, hounding you, asking if you want help? if you are looking for anything in particular?
they try to sell something you don't want or need or if you do want something they try to up their sales and try to convince you to buy some expensive crap
If i want help I'll go look for someone, leave me alone, I'm not going to steal anything
Future Shop is the same, stop following me!!!

Being a guy myself, I've always wondered what ladies feel when they're talking with man and they see his eyes going down... That's why I don't do it!

Seriously, while breasts might be "attractive", I really don't think about this when I talk with a lady. Those men are a shame upon us all.

I've always had great customer service at the FutureShop in my area and I don't shop at the Staples really often (it's "Bureau en Gros here" ).

I like our staples, but we don't go often so maybe thats why but i bought a scientific calculator in november and it stoped working like 6 months later and we didn't have the reciet or anything but they just told us it was ok and they would take it back and we could get a new one
