Entry 3 of 132 | show all | print this entry

Eine kulturelle Beobachtung muss ich noch mit erwaehnen. Damit ich auch hier zu vernuenfigen Preisen erreichbar bin habe ich mir bei Tesco eine SIM Karte holen wollen. Die guenstigste und mir am sympatischste Variante wurde in etwa so beschrieben: "You can call every UK number for 15 pence per minute, you will not be able to make calls when you are abroad". So weit so gut. Nur um sicher zu sein fragte ich den "Service Desk" ("We'll be happy to help you any time!" auf dem Schild) ob man mich denn von, z. B. Deutschland aus, anrufen koennte, bzw. ich nach Deutschland telefonieren kann. Hm, das war eine ueberraschende Frage. Er lass sich also kurz die Rueckseite durch (als ob ich nicht schon mal selber gelesen haette) und kam dann zu dem Schluss "I think not". "Well, do you think or do you know? Or do you think you know?" "I am just a contract employee..." Okay, ganz gross. Nach kurzem hin und her kam auch die zweite Kollegin auf "It probably won't work..." Naja, ich fragt ob es denn niemanden gebe der es wuesste und daraufhin kam der erste, der arme contract employee, auf die hervorragende Idee doch mal in seinem Contract Employee's Handbook die Nummer des Service Centers herauszusuchen und dort anzurufen. Und siehe da, man kann doch aus Deutschland angerufen werden! Und beim oeffnen und durchlesen des Handbuchs spaeter zu Hause sah ich dann, dass Deutschland, zusammen mit u.a. Pakistan, Kuwait und Simbabwe, sogar zu der Gruppe der Hauptlaender gehoert.

Soviel zum Thema Grundausbildung der Mitarbeiter...
