This takes the cake. Pleece bosses are sending staff on 3 day, $900 a head courses to be nice to customers.
They deny that they'll send frontline troops, but a memo has been leaked showing that they're next.
So I can see it now, Spud smiling nicely at his keyboard as he tells WINJA to "kindly go fuck yourself - SIR".
Or Scummy with a shit-eating grin on his dial as he books another Jafa tourist and says "have a nice day - call again".
Or even "Good Evening driver, I'll be your apprehending Officer for the evening. Would you like a little pepper spray with that?"
Brilliant stuff Howard.

Any way its worded, a shafting is still a shafting.

The $900 is irelevant, that can be made up in 30 mins of waiting on the side of the road with a radar.
It takes 3 days to instruct someone to be polite ?

Well it took a day to teach me to make sure that there was no-one under the crane I might never use, or a half-day to make sure I dont go into a confined space that may have lethal gas in it.

I went back into the shitter after dumping my guts one morning and learned that lesson in the blink of a watery eye.

Said in best Apu voice... "Here is your ticket and thank you, come again!"

It'll be just like the MOT days again.

Their customer focus and public perception is shit, but it's not because they're rude or impolite about it. It's been a while since I've struck a particularly rude officer, usually they're just evasive and not wanting to or incapable of answering any of the questions I put to them. They should give them their discretion and balls back, not manners.

If I'm a cock I don't mind being told that. But I'd prefer they weren't insinuating that my ticket for 11k over was helping road safety.

I don't see any real problem with it. In my experience those courses are usually a waste of time, but that's another matter.

Bear in mind, the police "cuistomers" are not necessarily criminals, or even motorists getting a ticket. Lots of people go into a cop shop, to report crimes, discuss stuff, all sorts of things. No harm in having the watch officer, or whatever the dude at front desk is called, knowing how to handle public interaction in a professional manner.

Does Kiwihost promote a "regular customer discount" scheme...

One day wasn't enough for me. I guess a month wouldn't to the trick either.
