Ah, those late nights when the #painkillers are finally kicking in & I’m still awake & browsing the #internet, have consequences.

Today I’m expecting a pack of #TimTams via #courier from #Officeworks!

*sigh*

#shopping

Did some DIY printing of documents at Officeworks.

Changes to the user interface have hidden the ability of the user to change Contrast and Brightness when printing.

What are they, $10,000 printers?

"Fuck the customer, this works for us"?

(The collation/stapling bench is long gone.)

Me taking action again: #Officeworks asked if I wanted to fill in a survey as I checked out, and I did, and I told them how buggy their website was. Go me!

Squeeky wheel gets oil!

Not always functioning at 100%?

Well you're doing better than #Officeworks.

Far as I can tell they've got the same barcode on the theft-prevention "Take this card to the counter" cardboard on the SD card display racks as on the real item you're trying to purchase.

So if you don't watch carefully you can go through the checkout and then discover at home that you've paid more than $70 for a bit of cardboard.

Such good service, so convenient, so reliable ... smh

I purchased a small product from #Officeworks

It failed spectacularly on first use.

I emailed them with photos, description, product information. I said I don't care about the money but maybe you want to remove this item from sale.

I got an email back saying please call "customer service" as we need more info. I emailed them back saying...what???

Their reply...note the product is UNusable.

They can't even get that right.

As has been reported elsewhere, a Jewish man was refused service by an Offceworks in Australia because the employee said she was "Pro-Palestine".

She also said she was the manager, which left the customer no option to have the situation addressed.

Officeworks has sent the employee to "training" but there's been no other formal actions in place as far as I can tell from the news articles, no apology from the employee, no new training initiatives, no formal apology to the Jewish community, or termination of the employee.

That is certainly Officeworks' choice, but I would encourage a civil rights lawsuit if that's a legal avenue available in Australia.

It's not enough for corporations to put out generic statements.

This "Pro-Palestine" vs Jewish or even "Pro-Palestine" vs Israeli rhetoric needs to end now. It's disgusting and hateful.

More garbage service, this time from #Officeworks both national and O'Connor branch.

Head office has a store locator webpage up. See below.

Try entering the #Perth, Western Australia suburb of O'Connor into it.
A waste of time.

Then I phoned that store to ask for assistance.
Twenty-five minutes of waiting and I had not got to talk with a human. So I hung up.

This #MassMarketModel isn't fit for serving humans IMO.
