Where are those ATMs when you need them?!
Just when you thought that you can get your money anytime, you can’t find an ATM that can provide the service that it was supposed to give. I just arrived home after trying at five ATMs – yes, that’s five! And not one was working!
Well so much for the interconnection of Megalink, Bancnet and Expressnet, if the bank who owns the machine are inefficient, technology is nothing. It is still very much dependent on the dedication and commitment of the people to provide service by making sure these machines are functioning and has money in them.
Those three I’ve mentioned are all represented by the ATMs I went into.
I’ll say it again, technology is nothing without dedicated customer service.
Meet deadlines
I just came from a neighborhood dressmaker to pick up my son’s uniform. We went there last week so she can sew my son’s polo uniform. I asked if she can finish it by Friday (we went there on a Tuesday), she said it’s not possible because she has lot of work in line. She said they would be finished on November 13, which is today.
But when I told her today that I came to pick up the items, she said they were not finished yet and ask me to come back on Saturday. I asked her why, and she said she forgot that they were due today, she only saw her notebook yesterday. I was frustrated and dissapointed. That’s the problem with small-time, fly-by-night service providers – they don’t have business sense.
I finally got my PayPal verified!
Yes! Now I can finally withdraw those money online that I’ve been earning for quite a while. They’re really not much, but they sure can be handy for those small emergencies. Seriously now, I am really happy that I finally got my PayPal verified after a long wait.
I don’t have a credit card, just like I said in my previous post in Hoping to get my PayPal verified, I applied for an EON Card at Union Bank which I was told is accepted at PayPal. After almost two weeks from application I got my EON Card, but I was told that it will take three days for my card to be activated for ATM purposes, and another two weeks before I can apply it at PayPal.

Do you get back to your customers?
When I didn’t have my internet connection back within 24 hours after paying my account, I called the Digitel Hotline. They are clueless as to my problem but got the details of my concern anyway, saying that they will refer the matter to their customer service, followed by their script “Is there anything else I can do for you sir?“
96 hours later and my internet connection still was not reactivated. I called the ‘Hotline’ again to inquire. Again, I was asked the problem and details of my concern, and again I was told that it will be referred to their customer service (so the so-called ‘Hotline’ is not customer service after all).
In both instances, the telephone operators couldn’t promise anything to me nor said that they will update me or get back to me of my concern. All I can do is wait… and wait I did.
