    The lady at the front desk wasn’t very friendly. I had a voucher which I used for my painting and she very reluctantly went to the manager and asked if I can redeem part of the voucher. She had a nasty attitude and then after she removed the voucher value from my bill, with a snarky attitude she said “just let me know how much you want to pay.” I was appalled. If you are going to work in services or hospitality you need to be friendly and willing to help the customer.
