Consume Alcohol After Smartlipo

Citibank is TARGOBANK, but the customer still bothers

I was almost never in my life in a bank branch. Including, since I can think can be really anything that I associate with a bank, do wonderfully at home with the PC. And social contacts I currently have enough, so I'm not interested in a friendly exchange with my bank manager per se. However, my wife

has been no online banking use, so I now - in the wake of problems with the application - have come to enjoy, they attend for appointments at Citibank (now Targobank).

Now I know long term that I have not missed.

the first appointment, we waited 15 minutes to our consultants who, although friendly, all ignorance, but has shifted to software and computers. My wife pays unnecessary since the fees for a salary account in this respect that customers (who visit the store and even grace with their presence) is not advice, hardly leaves questions unanswered.

has smooth first to register for online banking worked.

However, it was later, shortly after the name change, no more registration possible.
So we wanted to ask about this in a different branch of times.

The experiences there were amazing, who speaks of "Service desert Germany", is found here confirmed. After a long wait we are entering the switch, start the advisor (?) To explain our problem, until the phone rings. Without any apology or a statement of the consultant takes the phone babbles to us a little with colleagues. As a matter of course he comes back then to the agenda, asks us for our (already presented) concerns and explained us then that of course he could not help in this regard. Of course. Why should he know more about his employers as customers see from the outside? What a silly question from us. What we ever dared to disturb him in his phone calls? Humbly, we will therefore leave the store.

Investments in Marketing including the champagne tasting in the input branches are so well-meant gesture. No question. Customer service but certainly not replace it entirely. could

The hotline will help us the way, however - and this friendly and competent.

I find remarkable conclusion that the problem actually an operator error on our part. With a doctorate in computer science, which certainly has to do a lot with web-based applications and Web interfaces, I have been to admit that the surface is managed (only when you sign in, mind you) in terms of specific user confusion and counter-intuitive application logic in such a way that presumably are capable of sadistic urge developers of all customers in this embarrassment of the hotline call.

more surprising that the other site is well done - you have registered for the first time, the world in order and online banking works just fine. Perhaps the first jab is still selectively and symbolically to the store experience remember that the customer experienced a seamless transition to between worlds.

It would be nice if fewer jobs would be replaced by computers.
Sometimes, unfortunately, but apparently not just blame the computer, you may also need to take people to their own noses.

Servicewüste branch bank. If
disturb customers.

Belt Hairbrush Paddle

Just because you like something, you do not go blind.

I like Google. I really do not know why, but something moved me to do so. I have even T-shirts and had basically no scruples, to bear them.

consistently so that my wife and I our calendar auf Google umgezogen haben und dort - mit einigen unterschiedlichen Kalendern (Privat, Geschäftlich, Erinnerungen) unsere Zeit organisieren.



Das klappte auch ausgezeichnet und ich muss sagen, dass ich keine Sekunde diesen Schritt bereut habe.



Bis dann plötzlich seit gestern ein Kalender fehlt: die privaten Termine. Das Verhalten ist mehr als eigenwillig. Google Calendar bricht meist die Darstellung der Kalender mit einer Fehlermeldung ab, er können den Kalender nicht laden:







Der Kalender "Privat" konnte nicht geladen werden. Wenn das Problem weiterhin auftritt, besuchen Sie die Google Kalender-Hilfe.





Interessanterweise ist dies aber gelegentlich nicht der Fall - zwar dauert es sehr lange, die Anzeige kommt aber und zeigt alle Termine.Woher diese Termine dann stammen (aus einem Cache) kann ich nicht näher lokalisieren.



Schlimm ist die Hilflosigkeit: Der Export des Kalenders funktioniert nicht. Über die Ursachen kann ich nur Mutmaßen: Möglicherweise war es eine fehlgeschlagene Synchronisation mit CalenGoo. Möglicherweise. Zumindest findet man im Internet einen solchen Hinweis.



Möglicherweise ist dies ja auch nur ein subtiler Hinweis, auf private Termine zu verzichten. Oder ist es Zufall, dass dieser Kalender betroffen ist!?



Ich mag Google. Aber dies is definitely the first low blow for me in the use of web-based services from Google.

PS: Is it worth to say this? Well, maybe for security: if someone 'nen Tip added suppose I thank those opposed, of course ...
