Being constantly asked to give everyone a review

Whenever I need something, I always read the reviews and most seem genuine, not written under duress.
My phone company keep asking what I think of their service. I am able to make phone calls. Isn't that what I'm paying for? Why do they want a pat on the back every time I make a call?

I hope you subsequently dropped them to 1* or none!

I agree. It drives me potty! And for ridiculous things, sometimes bought in person…. FGS, they should just do their job properly and not look for compliments all the time.
PayPal is always mailing me if I have “forgotten “ to review something.
One company telephoned me to shout at me for giving them a 3* rather than 5* review! 🤬

Can’t be bothered with most of them so I ignore them unless they have gone out of their way to be helpful or vice versa.

I delete them too - but to be fair, I often read the reviews and have more than once decided against something because of them.

Yes, they're all asking obviously not all as Tesco hasn't asked yet!!

Yes, they're all asking.
Delivery people "How was your delivery today?" (the item arrived, thank you, that's what you're paid for, delivering), books, etc. Waitrose even wants me to review my groceries, so far Tesco hasn't asked.

I bought A4 paper for my printer recently- what can one say about that?

I was out for lunch today so I will be expecting the usual request for a review. The last one asked me the waitress's name- how would I know?

I delete 99% of requests for reviews. Very occasionally I do give a review.

There's just too many requests for reviews and feedback, far too many.

Not to mention the 'reminders' from Amazon... "Dickens, we're still waiting for your feedback after your purchase of xxx".

I really don't have the time, so now I just delete all the requests...

Today I got a telephone request from the NHS to rate my visit to A&E last winter!

It gives me the pip I get asked before I ve even opened the parcel sometimes they re things I ve bought as a present I don’t know what it’s like !!!

I prefer to put reviews on trustpilot as to my knowledge, no incentives are offered by the retailers.
If I receive exceptional service I will review on the company’s website.
With Evri (Couriers) feedback they ask specific questions like “did the Courier respect your property?”. I would like to read a few of those reviews as I hear of Couriers who on occasion almost throw parcels at front doors.

I bought a second hand book via Amazon and it arrived 2 days early yesterday. The usual review today- amazingly I have not read it yet- in fact I had only disposed of the wrappings when the flipping review arrived.

I bought 2 pairs of trousers for under a tenner each and I did send a good review. They were cosy, a perfect size and were made in GB rather than Bangladesh.

Drives me nuts too, especially as the review request sometimes arrives before I've had a chance to use the item!
However, I do give reviews sometimes and I am always honest when I do. otherwise there's no point.
I wouldn't give a 5* review if I was being bribed to - I'd give one that reflected what I thought starting with 'I cannot accept your gift voucher bribe because...'

I email them back and say send me the voucher and I won’t write a bad review
It sometimes works 😉

62Granny if it is only starting to get on your nerves you are a woman with exceptional powers of endurance.

It has been driving me mad for years - you go to the DIY store, buy a paint brush and get a questionnaire worthynof the Census.

Did you find what you wanted, Was it satisfactory? Was the shop assistant helpful, did the till clerk smile. Did you use a parking place, were you happy with it, would your recommend 1) the parking place, 2) this branch of this chain, 3) this chain. 4, the shop assistant, 5 the till clerk, to your friends? Aaaaaaaaaagh!!!!!

Quite agree. I delete the requests on arrival.
