"vegans Should Be Punched" - Allegedly

[Canary42]

According to a NatWest employee.

Footnote for cruciverbalists: NatWest is an anagram of Ant Stew ;-)

Look Spath, it would have been the same if I'd have gone in and the guy had said ' I think anyone with an american husband should be punched' or my Dad and they said ' All Irish people should be punched' or my grandmother and ' all old ladies should be punched'- it's not WHAT he said specifically, it was the fact that he was unprofessional, so yeah being Vegan WAS IRRELEVANT.

[naomi24]

I still want to know how compensation makes it better.

[spathiphyllum]

"it would have been the same"

But that's not what happened. This situation is about an offended vegan, not an irish man (race issue) nor an american husband (again race issue).

Don't complicate someones dietary preference with something unchangeable in life like race.

[spathiphyllum]

Calico i don't get ur problem. I don't see why people are being rude, you're simply seeming hysterical.

[Mamyalynne]

I don't think compensation makes anything better, however companies do it to keep customers and send out a message they care - perhaps not much more other than an already given apology they can do.

[Calicogirl]

Well it doesn't Naomi per se, but if i give my custom t an organisation, any organisation, I do so with the expectation of a certain level of customer care and when that falls short it's right they should kiss my big old white behind imho :) x

[Calicogirl]

Spath, are you feeling alright, you're just honestly being tunnel visioned and nuts about a few things lately, including this, accusing anyone who doesn't agree with you of being 'hysterical', 'argumentative' or various other crazy things. We're not, we just can see that you're wrong.

[naomi24]

I detest the compensation culture. Everyone seems to jump on that bandwagon in the hope of making a few bob. Unless people are financially disadvantaged by an incident, money doesn't solve anything. An apology is fine .... in my opinion.

[spathiphyllum]

no, only you are being hysterical, with your capital letters. That was directed at you. Not "everyone who disagrees with" me.

What have i said that is wrong? Again, a matter of "i want to be right so will belittle people until i am".

[Mamyalynne]

I don't think this Bank is alone in jumping on the compensation train, when I have complained about goods and services I have always got more than just the cost of a refund. They simply don't want you haring off to their competitors.

[Atheist]

Yes, Naomi, but be honest - if you complained about rude treatment and were offered a token of apology, would you refuse?

[Calicogirl]

Capital letter to stress a point, (rather than italics which don't work on this for some reason), nothing hysterical about that and yes you had a go at Rockrose too
//RR you need to calm down lol//

You have an issue with anyone (particularly women) who disagree with you, but frankly that's just tough because in this instance you are either deliberately ignoring the obvious on purpose or just being argumentative.

[naomi24]

Mamyalynne, The beneficiaries jump on the compensation train - not those who compensate - but I'm sure you knew that.

[bainbrig]

Calico. Must agree with you. Perhaps she’s taken something (as well as offence)...

[spathiphyllum]

Maybe re-read this thread.

[spathiphyllum]

Also, thanks for highlighting what i said that was wrong. LOL.
