Off the beaten track: Customer satisfaction

It is a common belief that private companies are better than public sector undertakings. 

A few years back, soon after buying a fully automatic washing machine for our house, I found the filter giving frequent problems, despite regular cleaning. Recently, soon after buying a brand new split AC with some advance features for our house, I came to know that there was a fault in the unit.

What makes a company customer friendly is the attitude of the customer support staff in the company more than anything else.
