Not sure how many of you readers out there are Bell customers, but I was just going through my bills and found this idiotic comment on the back of the telecommunications company envelope.
Trying to explain why it still had the old Bell logo, it read:
" 'Hey, didn't Bell change its logo?' You're right, we did. But since part of making today better means not wasting paper, we're using up the old stationery first. (Help save even more trees: sign up for paperless billing at bell.ca/mybell) "
That's laughable. Hogwash. Are you kidding me? The reason I say this? Just as I suspected, in the envelope with my statement, was a junk newsletter--which I have no issue with even though I never read that stuff; companies want to advertise their products; fine, no prob. However, also included in the envelope was a return envelope.
Now, I've been a customer for years, and I've never used the return envelope since I've always paid by telephone or online banking. Yet every single month, I receive this return envelope without fail. Why Bell does not keep track of how customers pay bills is beyond me. Why keep sending me these envelopes when my past history shows I've never had to use one?
In fact, why not be the leader of the pack by not sending this stuff to customers, period? Granted, there are still many who prefer snail mail, but in this day and age, if those people still want to do that, make them sign up for paper billing. After all, since they are in a way not helping to "save even more trees", make it inconvenient for them. Just assume everyone will go the paperless route instead, and don't send it anymore! Isn't that going to encourage more people not to use paper?
Geez--even Bell can't get it right. Whenever you hear companies say they care about the environment and stuff, I just say 'hogwash.'
