I don't like the length of them either. Lately I have been receiving surveys on how I liked the service some tech provided. You say and they present a screen asking 1 to 10 how you like the service and if you give a good rating you immediately get a longer survey. I figure this is a way to only have positive responses!


I don't like surveys that concentrate on the employees. It seems like a way to have an excuse not to give them a raise. It's usually the business that's the problem, not the employees.

Also if you notice, many of surveys appear to be generated by the same survey company...


Right! And I am sometimes offered the chance to take other surveys or create a survey of my own.

They know you're hooked and you can't stop buying from them.

How about this.

It was FINE except for all the @#$&_@# survey requests.

Maybe that would work. 😕

When I was in practice, pre Covid, we were mandated to send those surveys to our patients
As an old Doc who prided myself in stablishing close connections with my patients found it insulting, actually they grade Docs based on surveys

Many years ago I bought a lens-cap from them, in store, for five dollars. They sent me a form email a few days later asking me what I thought of it. Basically, I told them it completely changed my life. I was short, and fat, and bald, and had bad breath, and pimples, and etc, and the the lens-cap cured all that and got me a great job with a high salary and a wonderful girl.

They mail a three-month supply to me, along with about eight sheets of paper.

Several years ago the survey said that Americans were sick of surveys.

Bad Amazon reviews are a death sentence to sellers on Amazon so the seller has every motivation to use every trick in the book to squelch bad reviews. If it's a complaint against Amazon, they may very well decide your feedback is unwelcome and your business is undesirable. It sucks.

I get the same thing from my car dealer when I take it in for service. However, if you put anything less than a 10 they're not happy. This comes straight from the corporate office. The one time I put down a negative thought, they just passed it on to the service manager at the dealership. Well, I'd already told him what I thought, so what's the use in surveys?


I stayed at a Ramada Inn once ant the room was shabby and the room service was non-existent. I tried to submit a review on their website. As soon as I typed one negative word, I got bounced from the site and never could get back on to complete my review. that explains why all the reviews are good to excellent.

I hate getting these surveys about how my online buying experience was. B&H does it all the time, and it's always several pages long. I never have complaints, but they don't give up asking me until I reply. I bought an inverter for a Dell Vostro, but I haven't gotten to it yet, and they want me to do a review. It's the same for picking up an order at Home Depot. It gets to the point where I think I might order/buy from a place that doesn't harass me with surveys. They could ask if there was a problem, or maybe just ask once. That should be enough.

Anyway, that's all for now.

Just ignore them. That’s what I do if I don’t feel like answering a survey.

I don't work for any of them and life is way to short to fill out any surveys.

Oooh! Then you could send out surveys to the companies asking them to tell you how good their experience with you as a customer was! Repeatedly! 🤪 Even before you bought something! (In reaction to those pre-delivery surveys. 👹)
