We'll Call You - Morrisons

We'll Call You - Morrisons

Our culinary skills have been likened to poetry in motion, so Morrisons' introduction of recipes in rhyming form seemed an apt thing for us to try out.

Morrisons - Good afternoon, Morrisons customer service, You're speaking to [name].

Mtkg - Hi there. I was wondering if I could talk to someone about the rhyming recipes.

Morrisons - How can I help?

Mtkg - I've tried to make the Curry in a Hurry, but I'm confused because it doesn't say how much chicken to put in or how to make the marinade.

Morrisons - Where did you get the recipe?

Mtkg - A friend gave it to me.

Morrisons - OK. [Pauses.] Can I take your name and number and give you a call back when I've found out about the recipe?

Mtkg - Yeah, sure. [Gives details.] How long will it take you to call me back?

Morrisons - It will just take a few minutes.

Mtkg - Thanks. [Mtkg hangs up. Phone rings after one minute.] Hello?

Morrisons - Hi, it's [name] from Morrisons. You can find the full recipes along with the poems on the website.

Mtkg - Oh, that's annoying as I don't have the internet. Is there anywhere else I can get the full recipe?

Morrisons - Well, you can get all the recipes on printed cards in-store, but I can tell you the quantities now if you like?

Mtkg - Yes that'd be great.

Morrisons - [Pauses.] Actually, I could print off a copy and post it to you. You'd get it by tomorrow morning.

Mtkg - That'll be fine. I've had a ready meal now instead, anyway.

Morrisons - Right, so if you give me your address, I'll get it sent off.

Mtkg - It's [gives address]. So is it cheaper cooking from scratch? I'm usually really busy so I just have ready meals.

Morrisons - Yes, if you're cooking for a few people then buying all the ingredients can save you money.

Mtkg - Great. Is there anywhere else where I can get recipe ideas?

Morrisons - Yes, all the recipes, with the quantities, are available from your nearest store.

Mtkg - That's great. Thanks for your help.

Morrisons - No problem. Goodbye.


Verdict:

The call-handler got off to a worrying start when she didn't seem to know much about the rhyming recipes, but recovered by promptly calling back once she had investigated. After taking my address, she offered to send me recipes in the post, which was helpful. She was a touch abrupt initially, but went on to be friendly and courteous.
