Comment on Customer Service Experience at Hawthorne Fred Meyer by Ted

Black and White! Yes the company wants the customer to be happy, however the bottom line is that the employees have strick rules that supersede the customer. Being the only shopping center around what are one or two upset customers, there will be more.

I work at the Hawthorne Fred Meyers. I can understand your frustration. I must say however that this problem stems mostly from management as we’re frequently reprimanded for getting overtime. if a person goes more than 5 minutes over a 8 hour shift. it’s been made very clear, cut and dry to us that we may be terminated/suspended unless we had prior approval, and unfortunately for us customer services is not enough reason.

I totally understand how this may have made you feel.

I think the problem would be resolved if our managers worked closer to us to observe these problems and ways for us to handle them while meeting their demands.

This still occurs in my Yahoo as well..and it is the version 10.0.+. It is so irritating, I have stopped using it now and just exit the application. Audio/Video calls keep dropping…Have started using GChat for video calls..pretty sturdy even after 3 continuos hours in call…:)

Hello,

I have 5 goblets that look like a Tulip, clear glass stem and a waterlilly leaf/pad for a base. It also has a large D with I belive Newman in script. The goblet is pink to tan on the out side and cream on the inside and the pad is green to cream. Also so says Newman Ceramic Works, ABQ New Mexico. I just noticed on has a crack in it. I bought them from an estate about 10 years ago and wanted to know how old they are and can I get any more? By the way the stem is straight and the goblet is about 2-3 in. acrossed the top. Wated to write and find out more. I just love them. Reminds me of some of tiffany’s pieces.

Thanks in advance. If and when you reply please put Newman Ceramics in the subject like.
