Ever since I woke up this morning and people have been talking to me about that guy who found a metal nail inside his Tarboosh (Ras el Abed). I read the whole thread, including Gandour’s responses and claim that his story is a fabricated one.
Since they’ve decided to settle this offline, I won’t comment further on the story but honestly speaking, I seriously doubt Gandour would let such a thing happen and I would have taken this matter offline with them as it’s probably the shop’s mistake (assuming the guy’s story is not a fake one of course).
this guy is not very smart, how can he be sure that it’s Gandour fault?
its very easy to just take a tarboush and insert a needle in it
so this could have happened by accident in the store.
i remember when we were kids we used to fill the empty chocolate wrapper with cotton and place it
in the store so it appears like a real one! not cool i know
my point is that any kid could have done it
and lets suppose it was from the factory..well mistakes do happen!
i just hate how everyone wanna post any tiny problem online and make it public
many people are dying from starvation and this guy is nagging about a needle in his chocolate!
just throw it in the garbage man and buy another one and if it really did affect your life call ghandour and tell them nicely..no need for a facebook post
Yara, The worst part of the story … is that he is supposed to be a Trainer in Human Behavior !
well … this is not a human behavior … anyway shou bado yjib l dabbous 3a ma3mal chocolat … maykouno 3emlin mghara 3al filling machine ! 😀 …
I rarely comment, almost never. But here is the deal:
1- I know the person with whom it happened, it really did (I am not defending because I know him, I am just saying: it did happen)
2- Why blame it on the shop not on Gandour? I don’t get the point. Last I checked we do not have exactly the highest qualifications for safety, hygiene and excellence. And I doubt Gandour (or any other brand whatsoever) is certified or can pass the ISO 22000 (food certification) I’m not attacking, I am just stating facts. I grew up eating Tarboush, and won’t stop now probably but yes, it makes me wonder: what if my son got this nail? Or what if I swallowed it? Or what if John did?
3- PS: if “kids” put it in the shop, it makes me wonder what kind of future generation we are raising around this country… there is a HUGE difference between stuffing it with paper like the “good old days” and putting a nail in it… not to mention: IT WOULD SHOW something is wrong!
4- For those saying he shouldn’t have gone public, I ask: what would you have done if it happened to you? Called them and thanked them? Yara, yes. Mistakes happen. But you don’t just turn your back on them!
Maya,
I rarely comment, almost never. But here is the deal:
I neither blamed the guy nor Gandour nor the shop. I said it’s most probably the shop’s fault cause I know few things on how Gandour works and they would have detected such a thing. Moreover, its very easy to insert a thin metal bar into the tarboush. Anyway I will leave them to investigate this.
As for not going public, I said I wouldn’t have done and not that he should not have done. He’s free to do what he likes.
akid he wouldn’t have swallowed it , he have to shew it first :p so no big deal
PS: I rarely comment, almost never. 😛
Ps: I love blogbaladi… Cheers lebanese people, miss you all
I once had a metal screw in my chicken shawarma. I almost thought it was a bone.
I alerted the staff, who, brushed it off and joked as no big deal. They’re not paid well enough to care. I wasn’t pleased, it could have broken a tooth or pierced my mouth. They wouldn’t have paid for medical bills, and, most likely blame someone else.
They gave me another shawarma, without the metal screw, and kept my money.
