            Interview

            They were highly disorganised and over capacity of interviewees. Pushed everyone into the back of their stock room and asked 2 questions... it was obvious people were being judged by their appearance, which was massively degrading and non-professional.

            Question 1

            “What is the best customer service you have received?”
