Shame on News Corp. for sloppy reporting in the Herald Sun today with their story that a customer could not get their payout.
The reason for the store not paying on the prize was valid – they were out of cash. They could not give what they did not have. Their offer of a payment later in the day was them offering good service. The way the story reads, a Tatts rep says the store was not honourable.
The Herald Story blows it up, making the business look bad. I feel for them as customers will have read this and will think badly of them because of the News Corp. spin. Shame on you News Corp.
The editor of the Herald Sun owes an apology to the Tatts agent.
Read the comments – the HS is being trashed over that rubbish non story
First time I have ever felt the need to comment on the courier mail face book page ,it pissed me off that they get away with running such bullshit story.also yesterday about scratchys it was an overseas problem but they used a golden casket crossword for the headline
Not good for business at all
lol !
I am currently paying out on scratchies because the nearest lotto agent to me
tells customers that he doesn’t do scratchies till 9am !!!!!!! I’m not complaining ….
love the customers !
I’ve tweeted my displeasure as well:
Shame on you @theheraldsun for unreasonably beating up a small business owner: http://www.newsagencyblog.com.au/2015/01/08/herald-sun-runs-a-non-story-and-whacks-small-business-tatts-agents/ … #ethics #retail #smallbusiness
What a disgraceful article. The paper needs to understand both sides of the story. Our customers are more then happy to wait a day until I have the money in banking.
John read the comments on their own website they copped a real bagging over it .
Typical Murdochracy tabloid rubbish. Why people even buy his trashpapers is beyond me.
For such a ‘non story’ as you call it, the SH certainly achieved its aim of generating a story
Our local paper ran a story on us a few years ago saying that we wouldn’t deliver newspapers to one of the oldest residents in the area whose farm was across a floodway.
It turns out it wasn’t us but the company who delivers the free local newspaper.
Idiots!
