RECORDED DELIVERY
COMPLAINT
At about 07:40 this morning, I politely asked a woman whose name I do not know standing, writing; in front of the tills whether a till was open. She curtly replied that the self-service tills were - as if I were stupid for asking.
I asked because I saw no staff manning any till and because I am not confident in using self-service. For some reason, this common problem with the idea of self-service was not obvious to her, so I was offered no help in the use of such machines.
This rudeness and lack of helpfulness - and, given that I am Black, potential White racism - shocked me in coming from an organization that offers unusually-high standards of customer service. More surprising than it was offensive.
Kind Regards,
PS: If it helps, I attach a copy of my till receipt for the date and time in question.
