Unless you KNOW what is happening behind the scenes, cut those in service to you a little slack. There is probably no one on here that would have worked (not CEO, etc.) for their living and put up with constant complaints from those who know nothing about the job or company policy. This is why when everything is satisfactory or exceptional, I always make a note saying so on my bill and mention it if paying as I/we leave. They get plenty of complaints and seldom get commendation for a job well done or going above and beyond.
Dilly, excellent post. Please cut those in service to you a little slack.
