It's just counter-productive.<br /><br />My big gripe would be the excessive advertising that we all have to put up with these days ... again counter productive in many ways. Wherever we turn there's an ad for something!<br /><br />A good word here though about my local garage where people are treated like people and not ripped off .... that attitude gives people confidence and the desire to go back. <br /><br />And a word too for Sainsbury's whose customer service in a recent online shopping blip (too long to describe) was exemplary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1240236643546071370.post-71058123654524867962011-09-22T21:31:01.862+01:002011-09-22T21:31:01.862+01:00I know how you feel, they seem to do it even when ...I know how you feel, they seem to do it even when there is a massive line of people waiting in the busy lunch period.<br />Ann xAnniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10563432555240287691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1240236643546071370.post-33946224335285758062011-09-22T19:53:58.296+01:002011-09-22T19:53:58.296+01:00My friend hated working for a high street bank bec...My friend hated working for a high street bank because they were forced to harass customers trying to sell all sorts of stuff, to meet their 'targets'.
