Customer Service Issues
The reviewer, Madeleine Holt, had a disappointing experience with the company, rating it only 1 star. The primary issue was with the phone staff, who were deemed to be rude and lacking in good manners and a positive attitude.
Staff Behaviour
The reviewer's negative experience centred around the staff's behaviour over the phone, which fell short of expectations. It is clear that a more courteous and welcoming approach would have made a significant difference in the reviewer's perception of the company.
