[QUOTE="DevillEars, post: 20731"] @Anton: There is another overriding factor in this equation and that is a South African failing - we are far too tolerant of crappy service and don't do enough - individually and collectively - to help stamp out the sphincters that rely on this trait and continue to shaft "Jan Publiek" at every turn. It's almost as if they view the general public as "fair game" and it's "open season" all year 'round.... We used to have vehicles that offered the consumer some form of recourse - I refer to "Star Line" (in Jhb) and "Argus Action" (in Ctn) - but pressure from advertisers (who were also the culprits and targets) saw both discontinued. The Carte Blanche "exposes" are too limited in terms of how many instances they can address. It's almost time for "consumer vigilantes" to start stringing up these "Richards" from the nearest lampposts.... >:( [/QUOTE]
