I am watching this programme and it is uncomfortable viewing.The things they confess to doing to holidaymakers makes my blood boil.
Thank goodness I dont have much contact with the Reps when I am on holiday!
I caught the last 5 mins as I was heading for bed. Wonder if it will be repeated? Will have to check Catch Up on ITV.com.
I think the best thing to do is be very very nice to your Rep or else
The next few days we always were given the worst rooms in the hotels we stayed in.
As Jay says be nice to your rep.
I'll keep my eye out for it on ITV2 as well.
We go DIY now so don't have a rep, but it sounds like it would make interesting viewing.
I think it was called "Confessions".
Thanks Luci.
Come on we all want to know.
hi, i just managed to catch a couple of minutes of that programme so not sure if i got all of this entirely right, but it's where the young girl rep had lots of men old enough to be her father coming on to her, so on one occasion what she did was took their half finished pint into the loos with her and filled it up with her wee and let him drink it unknowingly - dotty
took their half finished pint into the loos with her and filled it up with her wee and let him drink it unknowingly
Just shows how bad that foreign beer can get - they never noticed
Now some may think it a laugh, but then considering all the complaints we receive here on HT about reps, perhaps it also shows how immature some of them are and how unsuited for the job.
fwh
I agree fwh.
does anyone ever seems to write up when they were good .... and if people were #### to me, then yes, i might well be #### to them. But thats a WHOLE new thread.........
Two girls who were the kiddies reps - they were just wonderul, infact my two broke their hearts when they had to say goodbye to them!
Our rep (the main one for the apartments) was a bloke who was engaged to one of the kiddies reps.
They really were brilliant. We'd never had reps like them before, and to get three that were so fab - well - we were just so lucky.
I felt sorry for any that worked there after them because they had such hard acts to follow.
Just browsing through youtube while in the holiday mood and it come to me i remember watching a programme on reps sometime last year it was called "Trust me im a holiday rep." you can catch up on them on youtube.
like neil says no one writes up when a rep is good! plus these programs are like reading a tabloid and expecting it not to be over exagarrated! the week before was chefs...does that mean all chefs are bad? if it was on care workers what do you think would be said? robbin money? abusing old people? would you think all care workers are like that?
id also like to point out that on the program there was a kiddy rep, a cruise ship steward or waiter, a club rep and a reporter no actual holiday rep!
the comedian was speaking about thinks that went on 10 to 15 years ago and they couldnt be done now! the kiddy rep was lying ( drinking someone elses urine makes you vomit immediatly its a natural reaction ) and the others were exagarating.
i will say that some reps are terrible and that some customers get treated badly but so do some reps by customers. yes theyre pushy with trips thats their job and their wages ( look at a adverty for a rep job and they want sales people). but any rep that says hes sent a bag on a different flight is lying or any other story like that. read cy floods trust me im a holiday rep and thats quite truthful.
anyways the best story ive ever heard regarding a rep was one that was getting hassle from a customer who kept saying i pay your wages, the rep then went in his pocket got out 20 cents and said there you go theyres your share back. by the way he was sacked and it would of been a lot less than 20 cents that blokes share lol!!!!
says no one writes up when a rep is good!
We did!
We wrote to Thomsons and congratulated them on the superb staff they had placed in the ---- --- apartments.
Ive never had a bad Rep, and always give them a good mention when putting a holiday review up!
no one writes up when a rep is good!
Perhaps not - but then how many people write to the council and compliment them on the guy who sweeps the road. The person at the shop who served you or even wrote to your boss?
They are employed to do a job. When they do it so your satisfaction you say thanks to them - end off. If they do not then as you are paying for that service you complain.
fwh
or even wrote to your boss?
This makes me sound big headed and I'm not but...
when I worked in a bank I regularly got thank you cards and calls from customers,
as did my boss.
Maybe because I enjoyed my job, (used to love it actually) it showed in my dealings with customers,
I don't know...
