Screenshots of a conversation between a Grab passenger and the Grab help center had recently emerged on Reddit’s singapore happenings thread.
From a cursory reading of the conversation, the Grab passenger had left some office equipment inside the trunk of the car and while the passenger had just alighted and was about to go and retrieve the office equipment, the Grab driver drove off, leaving her stranded there.
She then contacted Grab’s help center to seek help but instead received ‘rude’ comments from whoever was behind the other side of the conversation.
Claimed that every time she contacted help center, they treated her case like new
The Grab passenger mentioned in the conversation at 1:56 pm that she had called Grab’s help center for a few times and each time when she called, the operator treated it like it was the first time that she reported her case.
She also claimed that no follow up to her report was given and even after trying chat support, she was told that the driver could not find anything.
She then seemed to plead for help, saying that she is feeling a little frustrated because she cannot work without her equipment and now also has to cancel on the job.
Asked for an update about 5 minutes later and was rebuked by Grab
According to the screenshot, the Grab passenger then asked for an update on her case at around 2.02pm, but instead got a reply from them saying:
‘First of all, it’s whose fault that left own belonging in the car?’
That got the Grab passenger to explain the situation where she just alighted from the car and was about to go to the back trunk to retrieve her belongings but the driver just drove off.
Grab’s help center then proceeded to chide her for not being patient
According to the screenshot, the operator on Grab’s help center side then told the woman that as customer service, they have been trying to help her reach the driver for her lost belongings and they also said that they have asked the woman to stay on the chat and wait patiently but she was not being cooperative.
They then proceeded to throw the driver’s number to the woman and asked her to contact the driver herself, while at the same time recommending to the woman to reimburse the driver ($10) for coming back to her to return her items.
Woman then said she will make a Police report
The chat then ended with the woman saying that she is ‘amazed’ by Grab’s customer service and would make a Police report regarding their unacceptable standards of service.
Grab driver asked for $20 to return her items
In another screenshot which appears to be the Grab passenger’s Whatsapp conversation with the driver, the driver told the woman that the fee for returning her her items would be $20.
In a later update posted, it was mentioned that Grab had reached out to the driver involved and he had acknowledge that there was negligence on his part.
The $20 which the Grab passenger paid to the driver was also reimbursed to her.
As for the customer service operator, he/she received a prior warning before and since this incident was not his/her first warning, he/she had been let go by Grab.
Grab also apologised for the bad customer service experience received by the woman.
A Facebook user going by the alias of Guolong Lin recently posted on Complaint Singapore’s Facebook about his experience with the official Birkenstock store on the Lazada platform.
Apparently, he had thought he gotten a good deal on a pair of Birkenstock slippers during the 12/12 sale but said that Birkenstock ended up cancelling his order and refunding to him after delaying the shipment of his slippers and exceeding the deadline.
He further laments that he is disappointed as he had spent a lot of time and effort logging into Lazada to collect vouchers just for the sale but end up it is all wasted.
Here is what he said
‘I will like to complain on the bad experience with birkenstock lazada official store.
I bought the slippers on 12.12 sales and it was a great deal. However, it was not sent out on time and the customer service kept delaying to send out my slippers, and exceed the deadline and ended up refunding to us.
If birkenstock is not able fulfil the sales, they are not even qualified to be in part of lazada sales.
We are very unhappy on this and it is really disappointing as we have waited and pursued the birkenstock official store to send out the item and ask what they promised, however they just simply mentioned that is due to ninja van being overwhelmed and ignored me after the refunded process kicked in.
What is the purpose of purchasing via lazada with applied vouchers but the item was not sent out and they refused to fulfil the purchase.
My demand is to buy the slippers at the discounted rate with my vouchers which I logged in everyday to collect and yet it was came to waste.’
A Facebook user going by the alias of Syazz Hashim recently posted on her social media page about an incident which happened between a Grabfood Rider and her family at Tampines One.
Here is what she said
So yesterday, I brought 3 of my children out to Tampines 1 mall. I just changed my 21 mths baby diapers & we headed to level 5 lift area . I was pushing her on the stroller along with my 7 & 9 years old children. While waiting, a man in grab T shirt covered in a jacket came.
He was mumbling something perhaps rushing to send the food. He placed the food package on the dustbin. Once the lift arrived, he quickly dashed in. My eldest daughter pressed the lift for me to enter along with my boy.
We entered and I told my children to press level 2. She heard me wrongly and pressed 3. There was another elderly makcik who came in after us. Once it reached level 3, the man scolded my girl telling her not to press anyhow.
I told him it was a mistake, simply just close the lift back. He looked at us unhappily. We then reached level 2. My girl went out first again to press the lift from outside. I carefully made my way to exit as he was blocking the other side.
“Get out la faster”, he told us impatiently. I told him “my daughter is pressing for me, kindly wait”. He refused to press the lift door for us and chased us to get out faster.
I told him “this is my daughter & not yours so please shut up”. He raised his voice “no need to press anything la just get out! “ I couldn’t imagine If I were to bring my 9 mths baby what wld happen as there wld be 2 strollers.
Some people can be so unkind to small children including babies. I understand the need to rush but the lift is prioritized for people like us as we couldn’t take the escalator. Please manage your anger & stop venting it on women & small children.
PS: This photo was taken as he was already looking angrily when he came. Mumbled few things to himself then looked at us unhappily.
I sent this to my hubby as I was alone with 3 young kids. In any case of physical or verbal situation, I have something to prepare.
We women are not physically strong but Have to be strong mentally for the kids. Things really got ugly when he dashed in front of us into the lift and scolded us in the lift.
