Useless British Airways ‘Customer Service’ experience at Gate 24b LHR this AM on BA762 to Oslo. One of our two small wheeled bags checked in because “ALL wheeled bags are being checked in due to busy flight”. Clearly NOT the case! Loads of customers carrying on. Why lie?! 😡😱

What a total shambles from British Airways! Arrived in Torp (having been to Gothenburg en route), no information from ground crew, and bags not here either as no baggage staff! 😡 And all because your gate staff decided we had to check in our hand luggage!

Still no sign of our bags after the British Airways debacle yesterday. Why on earth did the Operations team choose to fly onward from Gothenburg when they should have known Torp can’t unload an A320?! Weekend away ruined by BA incompetence 😡

Customer Service for O2 is so hard to speak to! I called this morning, answered my security question, and got through to someone… The line quality was so bad they hung up! When I tried again, the same security answer didn’t work! Now the IVR tells me to wait 30 mins… Why?! 😡

Hi Octopus Energy 👋🏻 I’ve read the rates on your Flexible Octopus tariff are dropping from 1st April, will your other tariffs (e.g. Octopus Go) also see a price per kWh reduction?

My Octopus Energy Home Mini arrived today, bringing a bright pink injection of colour amongst the grey and black dullness of network tech in the garage! 😃🐙 Oh, it’s also beaming realtime electricity usage data to my App too 🎉🤓

Arrrrgh, where are these remaining Constantines, Octopus Energy ?! I’m #OctoplusSNAP-ing mad, but Kiwi, Germany, and Shoptopus Plushie, Tee and Van just don’t appear! 😱😱😱

So O2 #O2Priority treats are getting a massive downgrade ☹️ No longer weekly free rewards from Greggs, but rather just once a month for £1! The value proposition from O2 continues to deteriorate 😩

Did somebody (Octopus Energy) say free electricity between 1pm and 2pm 👀 Oh, go on then! 😃 More targeted electricity consumption going on right now ⚡️🐙 😎 #FreeElectricity

Whilst it’s great I can return empty PerfectDraft UK kegs to my local Majestic store, it’s a shame that the credits can only be used against a purchase in store, and beer tokens for an in-store keg purchases can’t be collected on my account… 🍻 Any chance of that changing?

Massive thank you to Sophie and Ivan (and the team in the control room) from South Central Ambulance Service who were so incredibly kind and helpful when my wife collapsed on our evening walk last night. Proper #nhsheros 🤩

Hi ⁦Octopus Energy⁩, I get this message all the time in the billing section of your app… I have both a Smart Meter and one of your magic Octopus Mini devices sending you readings frequently. Why does your ‘request refund’ use case need a manual reading? 🐙⚡️

Hi @VolvoCarUK, I’m getting no response from the Volvo UK Support team via email. Can you let me have a name I can escalate to please?

If someone from @VolvoCarUK would actually get back to the customers you ask to DM, that’d at least be a start to what could be called Customer Care… 😡

Hey The O2 👋🏻 Brilliant show last night at Snow Patrol, but are there any plans to refresh the seats? They’re really uncomfortable! (lumpy, unsupportive, saggy) 😩 Pretty sure after 18 years of use, they’re in need of a bit of TLC…
