***WARNING WARNING WARNING*** Don't dare ever provide feedback that isn't 100% positive for this place. If you do, then read below my experience with them. Hardly a professional response by any means. I was at no point rude or inaccurate to them. This is a true account of my experience.
My initial review to their website.....
"We bought fresh oysters from George's Fruit Barn for the second time yesterday for today, Australia Day. The first time, they were delicious, but this time, they were bland and sickening to eat, as they had clearly been washed with fresh water, not sea/salt water. They were awful.
Given that I bought these from George's Fruit Barn, then I am providing this as feedback in the hope that they will question their supplier about this. I won't be purchasing them anymore from George's, not after this, which is disappointing. You pay enough for oysters and to have them unnecessarily ruined like this was such a costly disappointment".
Their response.....
Thank you Noni for your 1 star review! What a shame you didn't give us a chance to at least refund you or gave us a ring about your disappointment. So quick for you to get into the computer and slapped us with a 1 star review! What about that "first time" you said they were delicious? That deserves a 5 star right! So if I have to total your disappointment, I think we should at least get a 2.5 Star???? hehehe.
BTW, there were a lot of customers today were also disappointed NOT just you! you know what? Because WE SOLD OUT ON OYSTERS!!!
Kidding aside, your feedback is very important to us and we will be passing this to our supplier.
Happy Straya Day! Oi! Oi! Oi!
My comment......
I responded accordingly to their thoroughly nasty passive/aggressive and hostile response. To let rip with what they REALLY think of me, to then only try and soften their hate session with their BS "all jokes aside, thank you for your etc etc....." doesn't cut the mustard, not after what they said to me. Who was joking!!!? I certainly wasn't; and they certainly were not either, clearly not, after spewing their bile. I was not rude to them in my initial feedback, I simply stated the facts of the matter. If they can't handle feedback because they're too sensitve, then they need to remove the feedback option from their website, not jump down someone's throat because they dared to give some justified negative feedback due to the substandard oysters. I was clear to state the previous positive experience with the surprising negative experience in my feedback. I was fair and balanced in my feedback. For them to pathetically pass their response off as a joke with the "he he he's" while driving the insult in further, is insulting to my intelligence and only makes them look worse. Oh, and they should count themselves lucky that they ran out of the oysters on the day, as they would have received more complaints if they didn't!
I will NEVER go back to their flyblown shop after their hostile reply. read more
