To rescind a recommendation or not?
I once raved about a local business, only to have shocking service from them last week.. (the issue won't go away: it's 100% staff related)
I had my time wasted, didn't get what I wanted and was treated poorly thru' the entire process - pretty epic customer service / experience fail all round.
Thing is, I would hate for anyone else to experience what I did .. but feel a bit shite for bagging on 'em. Esp as I had previously recommended them!
What would you do in this sitch?
Hmm. Can one delete recommendations? Off to check that now ..
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
