what would you do???
« on: 24 March 2011, 15:49:16 »
i made a complaint to a major supermarket a month ago afte being vebally abused by my fiancee`s ex boyfrined who just happened to be in his works uniform but offduty....this all happened in the store right in front of other customers 1 of which said he would be a witness and another said i should of snotted him one right there and then.... well i left it for a week after the assistant store manager said it would be dealt with and i would be contacted....heard nothing so i rang the head office in leeds and spoke to there complaints dept who said we will get the store manager to ring and apologise for this oversight...nothing not a dicky bird for 3 days...so i ring back...i even spoke to same bloke who took my complaint who even denied speaking to me...but he said i`ll pass this to the relevant dept... nothing again not even a whisper.... so i ring back again after 2 days and finnally get an answer... "The store manager refuses to discuss this problem with you as it would go against company policy and infringe on the data protection act!!!" talk about valuing customers especially in these tough trading times for supermarkets... All i want is somebody to ring me either from the store or headoffice and say "SORRY" cause if i ever said that to a customer either whilst at work or even offduty whilst wearing my works uniform i would expect to be hung out to dry and be on the dole.... no i know certain things about this guys health.. I.E. he`s type 1 diabetic on insulin and is blind in left eye and wears glasses cause his right eyes weak..yet this supermarket currnetly alow him to do home deliveries for them... now either he aint told the DVLA and his employer or his employer aint bothered and like to put the public at risk.... Now what would you do???

Personally, i'd phone the head office again and tell them from now on you'll be taking your business elsewhere. There's no point in getting wound up about it because it sounds like the supermarket don't give a damn about your complaint :(

I agree with The Red Baron! :y :y :y

Bertie, without wanting to hurt someone who is handicapped, but in the interests of public safety, I would say the DVLA HAVE to know that someone has diabetes.  They HAVE to know a person is on insulin.  They then issue, at best, a restricted driving licence that restricts that person to driving only motor cars and minibuses if not for reward.  They can, dependant on a doctors report, take that persons licence away completely.

With a serious eye defect and diabetes, I am sure no licence would be permitted by the DVLA.

Their insurance company MUST also know of the situation.

Has that answered your question Bertie? ;) ;)

My daughter is Type 1 Diabetic & has a driving licence that is renewed every 3 years following her doctors verification that she is fit to drive
Blindness can be a result of Diabetes
I was aware that a Type 1 (insulin dependant) Diabetic was not allowed to drive HGV but not that they could not drive proffesionally for reward

Not minibuses, and certainly not 7.5 tonne trucks ;) ;)


However I believe it would be difficult obtaining insurance to be a taxi driver ::) ;)

Not really, i know a driver that has type 1 diabetes and takes insulin....i know he lost his license for 6 months when he was first diagnosed, now he has it back.
He drives a rented vehicle on fleet insurance.....and all the 'fleet operator' will do is take a copy of his licence....and thats all  ::) As thats all i had to do when i rented cabs out to keep the insurance comp happy.  ;)

But has he only one eye TD? :-/ :-/

I am surprised though that anyone can drive professionally with Type 1 diabetes and can obtain insurance.  The risks must be high. :o :o :o
