The Buckets by Greg Cravens for February 12, 2019

Yes, it’s like a lawyer leading his own witness!

So you’re supposed to stand there and use that tablet while your frozen foods thaw? Send your complaints in an email to the company instead. Because you know how well that works.

so long as you click on all 10s they are happy.

I feel the same way about online surveys. :P

yeah, they focus on THEIR feelings.

Too true. Did a survey yesterday which demanded I chose between two repellent ads and then two more and then two more… For a product I would never buy under any circumstances.

I get those online surveys from my dentist. Like I’m going to give him a bad rating. Not a good idea.

How come Frank looks like he’s not wearing any pants?

bought a new car, manufacturer sent a survey on how I liked it, how did it handle, run, etc. I had less than 100 miles on it. some of the questions are more pertinent now that I’ve driven it 4 months, I like the car but wish they’d waited on their survey.

Usually they don’t have a place to write your opinions – just 1-10. One time they did give me a place to write something, the survey was terminated before I finished. Others I have had terminated if I didn’t give a 10 to every question. Now I ignore all surveys.

I bought some ink cartridges for my inkjet printer, and the store wanted me to answer a survey about them the next day… How well do you like this product? etc.

When I worked at Border’s I found out how those surveys really work, for everyone who took the survey we got a score from 0 to 5, the survey had 5 questions scored 1 – 5, supposidly 1 was the worst and 5 was the best, but in reality the survey only counted the 5’s, any other score counted as a 0, if the customers gave us 5 5’s in the survey we got 5 point, if they gave us 5 4’s we got 0 points, and when you give someone a 1 – 5 option, how many of them will give you a 5, that’s why I never paid any attention to the survey results the whole time I worked at the store.
