GFK, ENOUGH ALREADY

December 19, 2011 03:59PM
I just got my 1000th new shops in your location e-mail,( at least it feels like that) and everytime that I go to the site there are the same old shops.
I sent them an e-mail the other day about this and haven't heard back. I don't really expect to.
I am seriously thinking of deleteing my account as i have better things to do than chase non-existing "New shops."

At one time they were a joy to work with. They have not been interesting for several years. I am unwilling to terminate my account and find the 'delete' in my email is perfectly fine for dealing with them at present. This morning when I opened my email I deleted about 20 shop announcement emails without opening them because from the header I could identify that these were 'same old same old'. Check the boxes, give it one last glance to make sure I didn't accidentally check something that might be interesting and BOOM the delete button.

Ya know what is really interesting, I keep seeing that they have cell phone shops in my area, YET, I never once got those. NOOOOO, just the lousy audits. After getting a dozen or so everyday for 2 years, that was enough for me.

I don't understand how locations hundreds of miles from me are "in my location"!

Too funny.. I know of a certain company that is under the impression that anywhere in the country is within your area and "how dare you" decline by stating its too far away. What with a "major bonus" of $2 and all!
