Has the word “experience” been devalued recently? I pay my council tax online every month. On one occasion, after paying it, I had a survey request pop up asking me to rate my ‘experience’ of paying council tax. It’s a tax. That’s it. There’s nothing more to say. I have had similar requests to rate my ‘experience’ of shopping in Asda, or having a repair done. To me, an experience would be visiting the Grand Canyon, climbing Mount Everest, riding an advanced motorcycle, parachuting, visiting NASA HQ, etc. Those would be experiences, not simple mundane things like paying council tax. In the same vein, I have never once had a survey ask about my experience filling out a survey.

I should add, the survey request about my paying council tax was not about the tax itself, but about the payment method. They use Worldpay to facilitate such things, and I really don’t see how that is an “experience”. I’d love to visit the Grand Canyon, I’d love to take a parachute jump, and I’d love to eat out in New York City. Those would be experiences. I’m not sure how indifferently using Worldpay to pay my council tax is an experience, I doubt it’d make any tourist brochures.
