X – I too work for Fred Meyer. Our customer’s are our first priority . . period. I would like to remind you of our core values, and the four keys.

I want you to take a moment and read your entry again. If jon is expressing his displeasure with the treatment he previously encountered with poor customer service, how do you think he feels now after reading your comments? Unfortunately, you have placed your store management in an unfavorable light. (I would be inclined to think that Jon is firing up his printer, and arming himself with some pretty powerful ammo to take to your Store Director).

Should you choose to engage in a customer blog and offer your point of view, take a momment to remember the customer comes first and that they are important. They are worth that extra 5 minutes.

Jonny,
Lets see, every company is like that.. Well most big companies, I like verizon, go into store 10 people to help you BUY a phone, come back next day with problem ,wait in line for the 1or 2 service reps. to help fix the problem.Now if you called to sign up at Bally’s do you have to send a letter to corprate? I googled Bally complaints and quitting was one of the tops.

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.

Comment on Newman Ceramic Works has a website by Lonnie Alitz

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.
