I agree with richw. I used Madam thinking it the female equivalent of Sir when I started out in retail and had several people take offence. I never use it.

Personal preference. I tend to tailor my service to the sort of customer I think they are. I work in retail. Older people, those in suits etc I tend to be more formal as in my experience that's what they prefer. But I do also use 'buddy' or similar if it feels right. It can be a bit of a...

My biggest worry over renationalisation is that I simply don't trust a government enough.
Suppose labour won the next general election and Corbyn became pm. He might do a fine job of nationalisation of the railways. But what of the governments that followed? I think that you only have to look...
Not sure I can pm yet here. Sorry you didn't get through. But do hit me up if you can. They said I wouldn't hear anything until next week.
I'm coming from a retail management background myself so I think I was strong on those aspects of the role, think my answer on decision making was good...
Can you describe a time when you had to defend a decision you made?
Presume this is new st with LM. I'm applying too. Good luck, hopefully we're two of the six they're after.
