Is this the best customer complaint ever?

This is what happens when you ask a Brit to elaborate on a complaint.

Carrots

The British are famed for being the ultimate complainers – something that supermarket giant Tesco should have perhaps considered before asking this Manchester man to elaborate on his problem.

Aaron Swift wrote to the supermarket chain to tell them he was unhappy about the state of the carrot batons he’d purchased.

He wrote: “As some may know I am somewhat a carrot aficionado and it has to be said that these Tesco batons are the WORST.”

The Manchester chap included a snap of the bag on Twitter, and Tesco were quick to respond to his complaint.

“Hi Aaron, I’m really sorry you don’t enjoy our carrots  Would you mind elaborating on the issue via DM? – Laura.”

Aaron elaborated..

Big mistake Laura.

Aaron, keen to inform the chain about the exact nature of his problem, created a cross sample of the problem carrots.

With issues such as being “hacked to bits,” “Siamese,” “mostly skin,” and being “90% water” it’s clear Aaron was not taking this lightly.

What was Tessco’s response? They’ve refunded him, sent him a new bag of carrots, and have even invited him to be part of a round table as a guest speaker on the perfect carrot stick.

Not even joking.
