This was an interesting thought where my dad wanted to go to a Costco and I figured it would be a good time to try and rectify the situation where he didn\u2019t seem to get all the offers of a groupon deal as the employee upsold him a different expensive plan. Usually for franchised companies like these membership benefits and services would be the same throughout.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s where it was interesting where when I talked the customer service worker at first they were confused about the offer in general. Specifically, you are supposed to get a $40 off coupon for use in store and one for the online store where that one has a $250 purchase minimum. He only got the online one.<\/p>\n
So with that confusion the worker then tried to pass on the issue by saying since he signed up at a different store only they can take care of the issue. I know that is generally not true such as if one wants to cancel a membership, they could theoretically do it at any chain. Wouldn\u2019t that be weird if locations allowed people to buy from them but not do say returns or customer service issues?<\/p>\n
It only just takes one store in a chain to change a customer\u2019s perception of the business as a whole which is why consistency is always important.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
