When I worked at Sprint, this happened more than once! Not me, the other specialists…LOL!
Hermès has impeccable products, the top-tier of luxury goods,” said Milton Pedraza, CEO of the Luxury Institute, New York. “In terms of what customers want, they have the top design, quality and craftsmanship. What Hermès may need, however, is a refresher course in customer experience.
Restaurant Review: Reserve, Philadelphia

Ugh! Someone asked me if I only do negative reviews on this site. The answer is absolutely not; there are some AH-MAZING restaurants in the world and I always give credit where credit is due. Unfortunately, for the new steakhouse in town, Reserve Steakhouse, there will be no credits (not a single one) given in this ...
Restaurant Review: Sbraga, Philadelphia

Ladies and Gentleman, please take note: Sbraga is customer service done right…very right!
