It’s epidemic. Even vending machines want feedback these days. I’m with the OP. **** off!
[News] How did we do? We would love to hear your feedback!

I'll Teach for the day, or Wallpaper someone's house and no review is necessary. Sometimes I'll spend 50p online and be pestered half a dozen times for a review. I've tried to leave the occasional shorty review on eBay or Amazon and been told I can't leave it.
On the other hand I also hate a useless review. Trying to buy a new shower and people harp on about customer service and nothing about the actual shower, or they tell you how great the shower is and how they can't wait for it to be installed.

My doctors surgery asks you to do one of these satisfaction surveys if you have any dealings with them at all.
This is the crux of it. I'm responsible for our QS certification (and it's ongoing successful renewal) and feedback - being able to evidence that you actively seek it, and respond to it - is pretty central to it all.
BUT - You can't expect people to give up their time for free. If there's no potential prize or benefit, then I won't fill out a survey.
….or the replier is as sarcastic as I am
Usually if they piss me off I'll answer their survey out of anger. Most will try & correct the issues and if necessary dismiss employees who have multiple bad responses. Those that don't will usually fail as a business. If not too angry I will ignore the request for a survey. If really impressed I will make up great responses.

The trouble is, and I think why many of us hate them, is that they don't ask for words, just ask us stupid questions to be answered with 1 to 10.
"Would you recommend xxxx to your friends and family?" Well, no, I wouldn't. So I'll answer with a 1 then if you insist.
My friends and family are intelligent enough to make up their own minds - and anyway I seriously can't imagine in any conversation just dropping in a sentence like, "Ooh, British Gas are just wonderful" or "I think Virgin Media give such incredibly good value, don't you?" I just can't imagine what sort world the people who make up these questionnaires think I live in!

But I bet you all read reviews when considering using a company or restaurant or hotel ??
“Select option 2 if you don’t want to take part” ….. yes, every time.
Hotels yes, but I contribute to the site I use by reviewing all those I stay in…………..I don’t often check any other review sites before buying anything (although plenty now have their review scores posted on their websites anyway)
Some people's bonuses depend on good feedback.
How much would it cost you?

I think NSC should introduce feedback for its threads after members post on them.
A free clacker for every review

Nah, I'm talking proper feedback, like:Something like a thumbs up/down button perhaps
"This thread was interesting at first but quickly spiralled into several binfests as well as a load of stupid fish puns, right/left political points-scoring and some poster wanging on about how everything was '-defining'.
Would NOT recommend"
