877619 2010-04-18 04:31:00 Pretty much everywhere actually.. retail, banks, government, call centres... I've had some good experiences, but mostly it's pretty poor. Just people who don't smile, aren't polite, and don't offer any help.
Two examples from the last few days... - at lunchtime, colleague of mine went into a clothes shop. Q "Do you sell (whatever type) shorts?". A - No. Not a smile, not a sorry, not an alternative suggestion - just no.
I went to get a coffee on the way back from lunch. Pay first then hand the receipt to the counter where it's made in front of you. Take the receipt from you without a word, no eye contact. Give it back to you without a word again. I say thank you. No acknowledgment. I see that type of bad service every day.

But, I digress...

Chikara, I have to agree with you as far as this 'area' is concerned - it's almost similar in most 'big' cities in the world like, Hongkong, Bangkok, Taipei, Tokyo, etc.; just lack of the 'perosnal touch' in smaller cities/ towns. But in other type of services like Govt Departments, getting a job done (private sectors), etc., they are many, many times more efficient than NZ - we're in no way near them.
