Who the Heck Has Time for a Survey? (Opinion)

For years businesses have listened to our service complaints and are now responding. Just about everyone and anywhere I do business within a few days I get a survey. The feedback is clearly good for a company fine-tuning the customer experience.

Now I’m inundated with surveys. Sometimes several in a day. Some require 15 minutes of my schedule. When I do take the time to reply then there’s often a telephone call that follows. Where I’m often asked to give an even greater explanation.
Look, if I’m happy with the experience I’m silent. Unhappy? Then I look up a telephone number and make the call without being prompted by a survey. I’m also issuing a blanket apology for the naughty words. Please, understand, we all eventually turn into our parents. Mine spoke in colorful English.
