Well, seems our old friends at V/Line are at it again, with a display of “customer service” that one must stand back to behold!
This evening’s 17:29 Southern Cross to Marshall was cancelled. So what you ask? Well, it’s more the circumstances that caused it’s cancellation, and the subsequent “customer service” experience that’s really [...]

Hot on the heels of yesterday’s hilarious video of a Macquarie worker being sprung looking at porn on the job in the background of a live news cross, comes an even more hilarious advertising hook by rival HSBC.
