Must admit I kept my cool and my smile quite well.
My wife however did not and lambasted them without mercy.

Better leave it for a few days before going back

Just to say that IMO my wife was right ........of course
Damned right she was ... there's absolutely NO excuse for anyone engaged in serving the public - be they government officials, shopkeepers or whatever - being lackadaisical, unhelpful or [worse!] rude towards their customers in ANY circumstances ... IMO too!

Interestingly, with us ... I'm generally the one who's liable to tear strips off such people - whenever I feel it's justified - much to poor Myrna's embarrassment.
