    Return Policies: Do Customers Want More Restrictions, or More Options

    Some of the other threads are getting clogged up with claims from The S-Angria-Troll, that consumers themselves don't actually want retailers to take things back, if the customer is genuinely unsatisfied with a product (that doesn't suit their needs, is too noisy, was poorly designed, doesn't...

    consumer relations and suggestions

    I have worked at a CT for 5 years now in western Canada, and I have seen the good service and the crappy. I musy say, the store I work at is quite good at honoring and correcting customer complaints regarding price discrepancies, flyer stock being in stock, rainchecks honored months after...

    Sign at the Customer Service desk

    Waiting in line at the customer "service" desk, my spidersence kicked in when I saw the paper posted to the back of a computer screen for customers to read: "your conversation will be recorded . . ." (I forget the rest, something about abuse, or maybe everyone's "protection") I realize now that...

    G'day

    Hello, as with everyone here, I've had an inexcusably bad experience at CT. In my case, trying to return defective goods. The clerks were treating me like a liar and a theif. I had to phone customer service on my cell while standing in front of the assistant "manager" while he was texting his...

    Bait and Switch

    Last weeks flyer (week of Feb 4) listed a 29 LED shop work light on sale for $14.95. Magnetic base, hanging strong wire cable, a nice unit. Dropped in to get it, as I now refuse to go to the Napanee store, to find NO STOCK, but instead they had an end isle display of a 17 LED work light on sale...

    Canadian Tire Sucks at Sales - Not Enough Stock - Bait & Switch?

    A common complaint across the country is that Canadian Tire stores advertise items at attractive sale prices, but those stores don't carry sufficient stock. People come for the sale items, but the can't get any. They might be tempted to just buy a similar item at a higher price. And while...

    Can I assume Canadian Tire has taken over this site?

    Posts are being moderated and there is nothing new since 2010? Why not just remove the site from the Internet. This makes C-T look really, really bad. I hope this is just someone else trying to make C-T look bad. That's jackhole behavior. If C-T deserves to be publicly burned, so be it. If...
