Makro Pilipinas Davao Slogans..
So the inevitable happened… we had to go to Makro Davao to purchase some stuff since NCCC ran out of cup noodles… yup, the deluge of consumerism this week is just too overwhelming for their supply chain… I can’t blame them for running out since the volume of people visiting that mall was just too great… parked outside are bus loads… yup, bus loads of people from different provinces…
So eniweys, we had to go purchase the cup noodles in Makro… at around 8 PM in the evening… all in all we spent about 45 min there… 75% of which was spent lining up at the counter… usually it’s 3 counters for their multitude of customers, but today however was an all time low… only 2 counters open… talk about customer service… I’m not saying of course that the counters have to be fully manned all the time, at least they can call on additional manpower whenever they start to notice that the lines are queing already… now they can’t give me that crap that it costs to put additional people in… what they can do is cross train people from other sections to do that job in order to bolster the workforce…
And the funny thing, was when it was near 9PM closing time, they decided to open a 3rd counter in order to speed up the service to paying customers… me of course in my ever-oh-so-cynical way of thinking, thought that they only did that so that they could get the customers out of the store sooner so that they could go home already… they should have done that a little bit earlier… like at opening time… sheesh… talk about the grocery from hell…
While waiting in line my wife and I were thinking of perfect slogans for this place’s marketing campaign, here’s what we came up we.
1. Makro Pilipinas Davao - We Make You Wait.
2. Makro Pilipinas Davao - Leave no one Smiling (nobody seems to leave this place smiling, and if they did, it’s probably because they hadn’t bought anything and undergone the torture of a long line)
3. Makro Pilipinas Davao - One notch lower than Worst
