I Think Jackie Likes Me : Loving Jacqui

I Think Jackie Likes Me

Gee, why does this always happen?

It began the usual way: I pointed out how wrong she was.

So I sent off a complaint to one of Canada’s largest and most successful retailers, a division of a larger and even more well known Canadian retailer, who shall remain nameless at this point, they responded essentially with, “Golly gee, you’re right, we’ll improve our training and implementation; thanks for bringing this to our attention!” and later that day with, “No, you’re wrong on a technicality because that’s another of our companies,” and later after I eviscerated their point with a funny and cordial email full of facts from their own investor relations department, they came back essentially with, “Hey, no really, you’re right!”

So they want from, “You’re right,” to, “You’re wrong,” and back to, “You’re right!”

Which, as far as I’m concerned, is how these things should end.

So they’ll change their policy across all their business units, I predict, and honour their public commitments (time will tell – I hope I don’t have to launch a great media and blogging campaign right now… you know, domain names are just so darn cheap). And they gave me the umbrella for free.

This is cool.

But then I got this email from the client services specialist I was working with for the last couple days:

Date: September 22, 2006
Subject: Re: In the Sake of Complete Accuracy…

Good Morning Chris:

Well, now you know your ‘representative’ here at [her company] can be a bit cheeky! Sorry, but couldn’t resist it …..I could tell from the content of your emails that you probably have a very sharp sense of humour and would take my quip as it was intended (teasing).

I shall be discussing ‘the’ issue with my superiors today though because I believe that all of our stores across Canada should have a ‘refresher’ on the policy and how to follow it properly for our customers.

You’ve started something Chris and now I’m going to keep you posted!

Thank you and have a great weekend!
Regards
Jackie

Next thing she’s going to tell me that I’m 6′2″ tall and stunningly attractive… of couse, she’s right about half of that.

Really, what is it about women named Jaci?

“Really, what is it about women named Jaci?”

Jacqui’s are very intelligent people with great judgement skills obviously.
