Situation with m & s

I wrote to m & s executive office recently as I contacted the brand on social media to give an explanation regarding an incident in store. They said that this matter needs to go to executive team and they will pass it on I said don't worry and I just wrote to them myself. However I am a little upset with their response it seems they just trying to fob me off with a £50 giftcard rather than trying to thoroughly investigating the incident and making sure there is the right outcome as one of the staff member job could be under threat who did nothing wrong. I just seemed to recieve a quite robotic response "that feedback and comments will be passed to the store manager" and as a goodwill gesture and to say sorry to your daughter they sent a £50 voucher.

But the thing is i didn't make a complaint I'm not asking for an "outcome to a complaint" it's more complicated than that.

Never going to happen. You need to let this go what ever it was.

They can't and won't tell you anything beyond they've noted your complaint and passed your feedback on. They won't tell you what they are doing re.investigaring.

What's gdpr I sort of need to know, I feel like they have an obligation to assure me that this has been dropped and nothing has come of it.

They probably can’t or don’t want to assure you of that though.

There's no power on this earth that would have me telling a customer the outcome of an investigation. It's just inviting opinion and a perception that customers have anything to do with HR with they don't.

How do you know they're not investigating tho? When in retail if I had a serious incident involving the customer I couldn't tell the customer that's Mary she's off her meds, or she's got political views that mean she's cantankerous, or that she's on a stage 4 sanction or she's been sacked. That's private.

You say we will investigate and report back with the outcome. Its not difficult but of course its easier and cheaper to give a £50 spent in store anyway to fob people off. It's really common and all about money.

They can't tell you for gdpr reasons

Bethany34w · 02/09/2024 18:32

They didn't say they were looking it specifically they just said comments have been passed on
