They Need a Survey about Surveys

After filling out a survey about my shopping experience, they forgot one question.

’Rate your opinion of this survey.’ They’d be getting a 1, if I couldn’t give a zero.

Too many petty questions. I’ve already told them I was totally satisfied and why.

This one just reminded me why I never answer surveys.
 

Reminds me of a quiz (oh, okay it's off topic but bear with me, it's kinda funny) I had Huzz take; a quiz to see how much of a "real man" he was. So okay I read the quiz off to him and he answers verbally and we get to the last question which was something like, "How much of a 'real man' do you think you are?" And he of course answers that he's totally a real man; welp, the correct answer to that question was, "You're not a 'real man' at all, 'real men' don't take quizzes." 😄
 

Some of the surveys I take have a rate the survey after the survey is done.
I so wish that I ever had one of these. If it doesn’t say this at the beginning,it’ll be a long while before I answer another survey. Now, I need confirmation that the survey company has actually relayed the info.
 
you rate it and then they ask you the same questions over and over 3 or 4 times. it's a pain in the neck. i got better things to do with my time. if they're not getting it right they'll know when i complain the way i see it.
 
The one that I think is the most ridiculous is when I buy something online, such as from Amazon, and after it is delivered, I receive an email with a picture of the package laying right outside my door, with a choice of how the delivery was. One was "Great" or "Awesome!" something like that, and the other one was "Not great," and then you get to state your grievance.

I understand they want to check up on their drivers for quality control or whatever, but please. Give me a break.
 
I have been doing the online surveys for quite a few years now. You got points for filling out the survey, and then you can cash in the points for rewards like gift cards. I enjoy doing this in my spare time, and also I enjoy spending the gift cards on Amazon when I have enough points for a gift card.
It does get tiresome answering the same demographic questions over and over, and it would be nice if they had some sort of a base with each survey program that already had the answers supplied from when I signed up.

The one question that I can see no possible reason for is to ask what my sexual preferences are. Why do they care about who I do or don’t sleep with ?
I can even understand all of the crazy gender questions somewhat, because we have people who think they actually fit in some other gender besides male or female; but what my sex life has to do with my grocery shopping habits, is beyond me.
 
Three years ago, I bought some stuff online, and they sent it to the wrong address. I filled out the survey. Then about a year ago, i bought stuff from the same place. The package had my name on it, but my nextdoor neighbor's address.???? I filled out the survey. About a month ago, I ordered some stuff, and the sent it to a "PRIOR" address. Why in the hell would they ship it to a "PRIOR" address,? I told them what to do with their survey. I don't think they really want feedback, I think it's a psychological ploy to make your feel good about the company. How much does an email cost, and you're focusing customers' minds on your company.
 
I never do surveys. They are a complete waste of my time and give me absolutely no benefit. Statistics can really suck so I don't know why so many people waste their time with them. Look here:

Three men are sitting in a bar. One guy stocks shelves working at Wally Mart; another guy is unemployed and the 3rd guy works for Amazon delivering parcels. Their average yearly income is around $35,000.
Bill Gates walks in this same bar and orders a drink. Suddenly, the average income of those 4 men are some where in the area of $50 million dollars.
 
Most surveys are meaningless. You either got the product or service at the agree upon price or you didn't. Binary! My favorite was about a dog treat that I purchased. Yes I got it, and yes it was what I expected to get, and yes my credit card was charged accordingly. Pretty simple, cut and dried. What more is there to say?
