word choice - “Suggestion card” vs. “comment card”: Which is more common?

In my mind, a "suggestion" form sounds more like what an employee would fill out to suggest a process improvement or something. A "comment" card sounds more like what a customer might fill out, especially if there's a prominent free-form field where they can write whatever they want to tell you. I would disagree with stuxnetting about the use of "survey": it may have a technical meaning but it's widely used to mean "getting customer feedback".



A "Customer Feedback Card" might be appropriate. Ten questions sounds like too much work to me as a restaurant patron, and I wouldn't fill it out. Make it four questions, with a fifth field to write whatever I want to tell you and call it a customer feedback card.
