Canada’s Gemini Award-winning consumer watchdog returns to CBC Television with a special one-hour edition, Friday, Jan. 6, at 8 p.m. (8:30 NT)
Just how bad is the customer service at Canada’s major retail chains? Find out as MARKETPLACE returns to CBC Television with a special one-hour edition, Friday, Jan. 6, at 8 p.m. (8:30 NT).
Canada’s premier investigative consumer program is back with Canada’s Worst Customer Service: The Store Edition, revealing frustrating shopping experiences captured on hidden camera, and the results of a national survey of Canadians asking which stores are the worst.
We also put professional secret shoppers to work across the country, documenting just how bad the customer service can be. Even host Erica Johnson can’t believe what she finds, shopping at the three stores rated worst. Experts in complaining weigh in, and stores react when we reveal which of them provides the worst customer service.
