Multiples give us a bad name!


Recommended Posts

I don’t think it is! & it doesn’t alter the fact that the picture clearly shows two right stick on soles!

 

There’s something not quite adding up about this topic, I have contacted Busy Bee & until clarification has been sent as to the origins of the photo I have suspended this topic.

One off our moderators has spoken to busy bee & we are happy there is No foul play (so to speak) so this topic has been re-opened.

in my opinion the job seen in the above post,is more than likely been done by a RELIEF MANAGER OR SOMEONE WHO is aware they wont be there if/when the customer was to return to face the music..

 

i think that really is a load of 'cobblers'

i went on relief along time ago, and always the 'shop manager' would complain each and evry time they came back after a holiday about every relief, saying they left shop in a mess.. work.. customer complaints.. blah..blah.. blah!

the relief usually have all round experience, and yes there ars good and bad in all!

but that repair on show is (in my mind) a trainees repair. someone who is taking on more than they know!

even hibs aint that bad! =D>

sorry little to add.

 

mr t - sometimes sends trainees with very little experience to some of his shops i know our local recently had a holiday and they sent one, great for us as they dont know even how to cut a key.

repairs very basic knowledge.

this is what these shoes look like.

I agree k4mrc, what a massive generalisation to make. I was a relief manager for a good few years, and some of the work I had to give out was outragous. This wasn't just one company either.

 

But just to add, Yes there are some fantastic tradesmen working for multiples, Probably some of the best.

I know quite a few myself.

Well put Planet, may I also add that there are many hundreds of Independant repairers capable of work standards of the highest form, as was proven at the recent Rendenbach competition.

Just as there are substandard workfolk in both the Multiples and Independants.Personally I dont think we should be taking the moral ground but noting that some are better than others.
