I am used to the constant email requests for feedback or reviews after purchasing anything online or receiving deliveries, but this one beggars belief: “Based on your recent experience of using the cash deposit machine, how likely are you to recommend the NatWest Didsbury Wilmslow Road to a friend or family member?” Do Natwest seriously think I have time to review a machine?
