She smiles at you in return for the gesture and has a seat as you return to your work with the new customer. As you finish his paper work in walks his teenage son. As he sits down next to him he lays money on the desk and states that he wants to open an account there also. He tells you that he is on his lunch break and has very little time. By then the regular customer is getting restless and looking at her watch and glancing at you every few moments. Shortly after this she gets up and leaves abruptly. When you come to work the next day you find that she has sent a complaint letter about you concerning your lack of customer service for her and she states that you have an uncaring attitude.
