Firstly which queue?? transactions or admin.I was told to go to transactions then given a form to complete myself .I completed the form on a corner table & returned to the counter to then be advised that they were unable to complete & that the book would be posted as they were so busy!My frustration was the fact that there was nobody else in the branch & whilst I was completing my form the staff had time to talk about their weekend antics .In the background I heard a gentleman talking about the fact there would be more complaints from customers about something.My husband had rushed from work so had made a special effort to go into the branch to sort this account that day so I wasn’t happy how we were treated.I did however insist that this be done there & then so the staff member in the admin section reluctantly agreed to complete it as the other member of staff now only did transactions. This used to be such a happy place to visit & customer service was always the best so I really don’t know what has happened!The Dudley always had such high standards.If this is the way forward then I feel sorry for people who struggle with form filling etc as the Dudley used to be the place where one could always rely on help & excellent customer service.
