Very quick and efficient service here.
I went to Lloyds at Sutton in Ashfield today to open a savings account for myself. I had all my ID documents with me.
The cashier looked at me as if I was an alien when I asked to open an account. I was then told I'd need an appointment with the guy who opened accounts and I was asked "Is there any time convenient for you?" When I replied that now was convenient as I was there with all my documents I could see the bewilderment in the cashier's eyes.
The cashier then asked the guy who opens accounts if he had any time available now to help me. Bearing in mind that the conversation took place right in front of me, I was stunned to hear "No, I'm going to lunch now, book him in for next Wednesday or Thursday".
When I said that I wasn't available next Wednesday or Thursday the cashier suggested I opened my account online. I'd then "just need to bring my ID documents to the branch and the account would be opened". I said I'd do that, but as I was stood there with my ID documents, could they verify and copy them there and then and I'd complete the application online later today. I was told that wasn't possible and I'd need to return to the branch at my inconvenience.
It could have been a video of how NOT to treat customers on a customer care course. Needless to say my money will be heading into a different bank.
