    When I first used banks in the early 70's the service was much better than it is now.I also know one or two people who have made a career in banking and they say the job is nothing like it was when they started 25 years ago,much worse.They say that working as a teller is the pits and you are treated like dirt.They also agree with me that good customer service is now virtually non existant.I know one girl who did it for quite a while then left to have a family and then went back.She lasted for about two years it was so awful.It was a constant sell to the customer sell to the customer sell to the customer,get them to buy our products. The customer is thought of as a zombie to generate profits for the shareholder,nothing more.

    I would agree with virtually every word in your post - my banking career started in the late 70's/early 80's and I have seen massive changes since then ( the people I've stayed in touch with since I left think I'm the lucky one:o ). Given this knowledge, why are you surprised at the treatment you have had from Nationwide?

    I naively thought they were always anxious to get new customers.

    Silly me. :p
