Whisper & P&G Update

Last Saturday, I received a package from SYKES ASIA - I was wondering what it was, and when I opened it - it was the replacement pack of the Whisper Napkins. It came with a letter dated April 12, 2007 where it was written that I was supposed to receive the same kind of napkin I complained about. Well - unfortunately, with they didn't have it on stock or it was deliberate - I got another kind of napkin AND there's a price tag!

Unbelievable - the least they could do was give me the same pack I complained of, instead they gave me one that - maybe fit the description. What was worse was that it was sent out - April 28, 2007.

Hmmm.. Nice customer service eh?

Here's the copy of the letter, the replacement napkin and the waybill, click on the images to have a closer look:

    Ahahaha. Mukhang binili lang sa grocery sa Robinson's ah. The least P&G could have done is to send the replacement from their warehouse, directly from P&G instead of sending an outsourced customer service rep to the supermarket to send the replacement. Wow.

    u truly are a complaint connoiseur. wot a fancy term for a whiner. i read this whole "ants in an unopened whisper pack" thingy. girl, you write to whine don't you? i wouldn't want to have crawling ants in my pads, if that had happened to me i would've called the customer service hotline as well but you should feel important as a customer because they sent out a replacement. nobody wanted, nor told those ants to live in your pads. the best P&G could do was to send out replacement and instead of feeling special, here you are bitching about service. i read the rep told you it would take 10-15 WORKING DAYS for the replacement? girl... saturdays and sundays aren't working days are they? the package reached you within the 15 working days promised no matter where it came from (though the price tag was a bit off i agree)but honestly, if i had been that rep i wouldn't have sent out a replacement... buhsides the ants could have come from anywhere. people like you never appreciate things. you just live to complain.

    i'm a whiner, too. i write to whine about bitches who never stop whining.

    i could send the link of your blog to p&g to sort this out. i'm thinking of calling their hotline too to complain.

    Hello Anonymous thanks for your comment! I appreciate your honesty. But you see, this is MY blog and I can whine all I want, if I wanted to. I can't believe that what I wrote struck you enough to make a comment like this - Hmmm...

    Yes, they gave me a replacement pack - but I was hoping they'd give me the exact same one I complained about. I think one should not accept mediocrity when it comes to customer service.

    Thanks again!

    Wow, you are one hell of a whiner.
    I have no recollection anymore how I came about your blog, but geee this is definitely the first-ever time I've read two or three posts about someone complaining about antsy napkins.

    You should be awarded Queen Bee of all consumers.
    Queen Bee, as in, one who feels like she's the most important consumer there is.

    If I were you I would've called the hotline or written, that's it. Surely wouldn't blog about antsies in the panties...whoops, napkins. =p

    Goodluck on your quest to find ant-free napkins
    (and i hope they didn't get as far as in THERE.)

    Hello Anonymous! Firstly - thanks for dropping by my blog! Secondly, I gather from your tone that - you're a guy! :) Because females won't respond violently to the way you did. Thirdly - why place Anonymous, you could have been BRAVE and put your name or whatever. Tsk.. Tsk..

    I would LOVE to be the Queen Bee of consumers! I think all of us would LOVE to feel that way!! :) We have the RIGHT you know?

    Why would I stop with the call and writing? Why won't I blog about it? Its a free country - and its my blog, remember?

    Yes, good luck to me and good luck to you as well!

    May the ladies in your life have ant free napkins and if ever they do - may the ants go further up THERE than you would have! Bwahahahahaha!!! :)

    Would have been nice to know who you are - cowardly remarks like this

ANSON SUPERMARKET - Grocery delivery!!

Sharing is caring, so we can't keep it a secret any longer.  THIS is where we get out groceries!  Well, Anson Supermarket has been where we have been purchasing all of our kids' diapers!  From Kailee to Connor to Shobe!  Yes, yes, yes! A week into the lockdown, it just occurred to us that we can get our groceries from them - but then we thought, we didn't want to force them to do it - after all it's a different time now.  But when we asked and they said yes, it was like we won the lottery.  We sent out our list - a very VERY SPECIFIC list and voila after a day or two (we weren't in a rush) they told us to schedule a pick up.  Please remember that I am sharing this with you guys because I believe so much in the saying 'sharing is caring'.  Please be mindful of your language and respect those who will call or message you about your orders.  Also note that some items might NOT be available - so manage your expectations.   They're a ...

#CookingQuest: Winter Melon Soup ala Didi #EnhancedCommunity

One of the things that gets ooohs and aaaahs in a chinese restaurant is the #WinterMelonSoup.   You may ask why?  Well because with this soup, restaurants use the winter melon itself as a huge bowl to serve the soup!  It's a sight to see as you'll be amazed how they were able to pull it off.  You'll see the whole winter melon, and then suddenly they're take out the top part and when you peek in, the soup is inside together with meat bits and other veggies!  My mom has tried it at home, and I remember her being nervous that the winter melon doesn't break apart, kunde sira ang presentation! So during this #EnhancedCommunityQuarantine, I chanced upon Theo's Farm that they have winter melon, so I ordered.  When I saw it - I knew I wouldn't be able to pull off the carving and serving the winter melon.  It actually made the preparation easier.  I had to ask my mom, and she told me to steam the winter melon to soften it.  Honestly, I don't t...

#CookingQuest: Chicken Stir Fry

When I was little, I used to see my mom, guama and aunt cook in the kitchen.  I found it amazing, that they have this idea in their heads on what to cook for us.  I remember my guama had small bits of plastic that when opened contained shirmp and cooked pork fat.  I asked her what it was for, and she told me that it was to add 'flavor' to the dish whatever it was.  I don't remember seeing her look at any cook book or a paper with recipe.  She just whipped them all up! When I got older, I became interested in baking - baking because I was afraid of splattering oil.  So I stuck to baking for a while.  It was only when I got married that I had to dive in and cook.  When my Panget and I were newly married, we didn't have a helper during the weekend, so I had to step up.  There were times that we didn't have a helper at all (we borrowed my mom's helper to clean), so I had to do all the cooking.  It was there that I learned to whip s...
