The process of having to Re - Register was helped by Ryan due to my slow key board skills, lots of time given. It was very useful to be able to speak to him directly later in the day to finish the process. - Outstanding Reviewed on: 27th February 2024

Horrific customer service alton branch

1
I went into the alton branch at 3.30 on the 26.2.24 and there were two customer assistants bickering and being extrely un proffessional . The male assistamt kept chipping in while the female tried to at least remain proffessional and at 1 point i said to them this is really unproffessional behavior and the male just shrugged his shoulders at me . With that the female carried on whilst the male sat spinning on his chair and shaking a water bottle. And at one point the male said to the female I got a really funny story to tell you and she said tell me later. At one point the female said to the male your just stupid. I was mortified it has always been professional in there and my family have used the service for many years. I will not be going back in there Reviewed on: 26th February 2024
