The 5 most annoying things about food packaging

The way many food products are packaged, you'd think either the companies had contempt for their customers, or nobody at those companies actually ate their own products.

Welcome to the Cantankerous Consumer

I've been a customer for nearly all of my fifty years, and it's my habit to report experiences that deviate from expectations to the companies from whom I purchase goods and services. If I am extremely satisfied with my purchase or the service I receive, I do not hesitate to give them a positive review. At the same time, if they fail to meet expectations, by delivering poor service or an inadequate product, I make sure they're aware of that too.

The relationship companies foster with their customers is one key to their success or failure. A website or toll-free number that permits consumer complaints or reports, is the first step to demonstrating a commitment to customer satisfaction.

The purpose of this blog is to share the consumer experience - either my own or those I find on the web - with you, my visitor. Many of my posts will be about communications I've had with companies, along with their responses. I try to maintain a sense of humor about the interactions, even if customer satisfaction eludes me.

You're welcome to share your own stories on the comments form beneath each story. Reviews from you will help me learn what type of material to seek out and share.
