I'm bewildered by the number of credit union managers and employees who rate their service as being good when it's actually borderline offensive. One of the most frequent gaffes involves ignoring members. As customers, we've all been served by an employee who stops to answer the phone or talk to a coworker. When I ask seminar participants what that behaviour is called, I hear a collective response of, "rude!" Employees assume this behaviour is acceptable because few members complain. That's because most members don't complain - they just quietly shift their banking on-line to ING.
