Free deo spray

shyams
By shyams

i was in Family Food Airport road tonite.. it was alomost 12 am closing time. i picked my cart and was proceeding towards the billing counter when i was startled to see a group of FF empoyees assembled at the Perfume and deodorant section and started using the sprays on them lavishly. i was shocked how could they do this... then i grew suspicious over my deo which i picked for billing could had been also used alike.. so i gently returned it back to where it was.
My concern, is it good for the shop employees to misuse the products (they could have used the tester, but didnt)?? and most important what is the point of using deo after midnight?????

Probably these sprays helps throught out the night. They spray the top or bottom?

testers nozzles are not broken but removed and kept with them so that customers will not use and finish them

But then again, u shud know how low wages des people earn and cant affort 2 buy des deos, hence help themselves 2 it when its easily available 2 them at the shop itself. I know its not right 4 dem 2 do it... but when u see both the sides of the coin... its hard 2 judge wots right...

If you want to employ low paid staffs for your business, fair enough, BUT how difficult is it to educate them on basic hygenic and business norms.. they dont need to be educated for Harvard but to suite the place and position of their respective work. i guess this is more practical and must do.... and inspect the quality. what are the quality supervisor for!!!, who knows if they are the first in line!!!!. anyways. this is simply not acceptable or taken for granted....

I noticed just before leaving Qatar when I went to buy some sprays that most of the testers had broken nozzles and were unusable. Rightly or wrongly I opened some packages only to find someome had got there before me . Staff or otherwise , isnt it up to the supervisors to make sure that the samples are in working order for the customers , if the staff have a squirt or two of the testers who cares .

Yet again those responsible for the quality of service fail,

i think its not good to say that...."Oh one more thing... just wanted to say that this is the quality that you get when you employ low cost, un=educated, unprofessional staff from these countries" (yeah you're being racist)

let me ask you this Q? what if you were the owner of that kind of store, would you hire a high cost employee? do you think you would profit if you get a high end sales people? I don't think so....

Oh one more thing... just wanted to say that this is the quality that you get when you employ low cost, un=educated, unprofessional staff from these countries .. and yes I know I will get a barrage of responses saying thats racist or something like that but its true... you pay peanuts you get monkeys !!!!

Maybe you should check out the makeup section too cause that is where most of the sales staff put their makeup on.. go in any supermaket/mall that has a makeup counter early in the morning or mid day you will see them either putting on fresh makeup or re-freshning what is already on.

Also using the tester for perfume as if it belongs to them...so it does not surprise me that they use the deo and then put it back.....

that would be more disgusting huh...

Alex if it was the tester I wouldn't have bothered. but they were all fresh deos. and as tallg said the deodorant sprays arent sealed so as the perfumes.... thank god i didnt choose the roll on deos.... yaakk.

How could they do it so casually, not to blame them solely the management need to educate these people on the hygenic.

Yfon, yes i really saw it and thats why i was uncomfortable....

Can we help it!!, we cant avoid buying the doe totally, but the management could take some steps avoiding these embarrassments..... again I couldn't complain these to the management as no authority were around (it was closing time)

Men's spray deodorant isn't usually sealed. At least the ones I buy aren't.

kinimoto ....lol..

...all products should have burgler alarms embedded in them....the moment somebody opens the seal before paying for it .....it should go ...."BEEP"...."BEEP"....lol

By kinimoto• 18 Apr 2009 12:29

lol. hope you can tell the difference.

I suggest all products should be properly sealed( with an alarm system and self destruct program).

I know what you mean... at least the deo spray does not touch your skin with risk of passing skin related diseases through. Read my experiences here below if you really want to know something disgusting...I've seen this happen at Carrefour in City Center:

- A guy opend up a little his shirt and put deo ROLL-ON under his arms. Blahhhhhh

- The staff at the make-up section were opening all products for sale (lipsticks, eyliners, etc...) and applying them onto their faces.... And they were all loud and laughing, as if it was the most normal thing to do.

Moral of the story: we live in a jungle where every species follows their natural instinct (as nasty as it may be), follow yours and buy only products that are sealed!
