I like to imagine these staff are doing the best they can, as are all retail staff these days....
Sometimes though, I just don't think people who get paid minimum wage could care less.
I recently ordered items via 'the market', which of course is just some sort of weird front for The Warehouse here in NZ.... So some items came from a specialist small business, and arrived within two days of the order, impressive given the current times and thank you to that supplier for being awesome.
The single item that was to be fulfilled by "The Warehouse' was still sitting at 'confirmed' status a week later. Do you think there is a phone number you can ring, no.. no phone number, so you email. You get an automated response and then wait 24 more hours to get a vague reply saying due to covid there are delays. At this stage, it has been 8 days since I ordered a packet of razor blades (not a swimming pool or an outdoor furniture setting)....
Another day and another email, in this one telling them to just cancel the order, so despite trying to avoid going to places where covid is probably everywhere, it seems nz retailers are so inept that online shopping is just an exercise in both futility and stress. It took more emails to actually get the damn razor blades to move from 'confirmed' to 'despatched' and even then it took two days to arrive from Auckland (900kms away)... is there not a warehouse capable of fulfilling a local order? This decentralised model of online fulfilment is a joke, you wait too long, you get multiple parcels arrive, you are tracking god knows what on whichever courier company - whoever is running the Warehouse's online program needs to do some research - even briscoes does a better job.
So... it's very clear if you want something from the red shed, just go to one and buy it, the staff may try hard to be good and friendly at the front-line, but they are inhibited by ineptitude and poor organisation everywhere. Taking a week to dispatch a box of razor blades is just laughable, and in future I'll just buy them at the supermarket like every other idiot who pays too much for razor blades.
