Customer service, what customer service?
There was the metro station staff member, who was too busy checking out the female passengers to let me through when my ticket stopped working, and who was very pissed off when I finally got his attention.
There was another metro staff member, who I needed to let me through the ticket barrier (my pass till not working), who said not one word to me, but just jerked her head in the vague direction of the ticket gate.
There was the man in the local coffee shop who forgot to give me my croissant and who got very shirty when, after waiting for 3 or 4 minutes, I actually asked for it.
Then there was the man in Starbucks, who, when I started counting out my change to pay him for my overpriced coffee drink and dry croissant, swore at me for taking longer than 2 seconds to hand over my money.
Really not loving the 'service culture' over here.
Campaign news:
Sarah Palin did not, in fact, sell the Alaskan Governors plane on ebay
After a pre-weekend lead for Obama, the polls are neck-a-neck, or even showing a McCain lead
But really, who cares about elections when there's tennis to be watched
