Customers Fight Back (on YouTube) - a guitar (or anti-airline) anorak special

Here is a wonderful example of the customer fighting back (over 6 million views of the original video).


I am a bit of a guitar geek. Good guitars cost several thousand pounds and have tremendous sentimental value. So if they are mishandled you get a little up tight.



United (and many other companies) just don't seem to get how poor customer service can make us wild with anger. And then they respond 'with too little too late'.
(And the song's not bad either.
)




see the video below






and of course there's a public statement from Dave Carroll



who got some kind of 'result' because United did make a reply.



and then the next video, Song #2

The big boys have got it coming to them. They can not stop people venting their rage. And boy are we angry about crap service.

Long live the revolution.

As an owner of several 'valuable' guitars I just love this example of the people getting their own back.

A contact is currently fighting with the Isle of Man government over the collapsed Kaupthing Singer and Friedlander bank and there’s a bunch of videos on the subject including Manx Alchemy..
