Good service in the end

Went in to open two ISAs, but were originally told we would have to make an appointment another day due to staff shortage. We had already completed the forms which we got online,and after muttering our disappointment were dealt with by the cashier. We had to leave the paperwork and our cheques, but after a couple of days our accounts were opened and our passbooks were posted to us, so all was well in the end. Reviewed on: 7th September 2019
