Actually a very honest Advert - after all the fakes are really fakes!
Would be nice to see this because adopted in the UK - "Useless Retailer of the Year", "We don't try at all", and "We are 100% committed to treating out customers with contempt" has a certain honesty! |

We all ought to name and shame those companies etc that we come across who provide truely abysmal service.....
Then present them with the "Golden Turkey award for Customer Service"
