I’ve previously blogged about poor customer service, notably my experiences with Lloyds TSB (Lloyds TSB Customer Dissatisfaction Guaranteed), the letting agent I used (Remain A Customer Or We’ll Sue You) and an organisation that will remain nameless (We Solemnly Promise To Let You Down). I’m suffered countless other instances of bad service, including yet another […]

Good Customer Service Is A Waste Of Time And Money
Dealing With Rude And Angry Customers
Did you see The Restaurant this week? One of the diners at True Provenance truly excelled at being rude, obnoxious and aggressive, watch the video below to see how: If you can stand to watch more you’ll find the full display on YouTube. As a result of watching it I decided to review a post […]

Lloyds TSB Customer Dissatisfaction Guaranteed
Since the birth of our son a number of family and friends have given us presents for him, often clothes, but sometimes money, so we’d decided to open a bank account for him. We intend to deposit into the account the money he has recieved along with future money he may recieve for birthdays and […]
