    She would have to get a name change if she really wanted more clients. Such irresponsible action for a supposedly responsible person who deals with people whose lives can only get better with her help. I might get an appointment with a fear of shopping trolleys, that would fix her!!

    'Rampant issue': Author exposes ‘mediocre customer service’ as technology advances

    I absolutely hate getting my change with the notes first, then a bundle of coins balancing precariously on top. This is not the way to give change. You count the change from the coins up, so coins go in hand first, then your fingers tighten the coins, and your forefinger and thumb grab the...
