It’s not just about the end user though is it? In business if you ran an organisation so wastefully, you would go bust. The NHS continues to be propped up despite disastrous management.
Just two examples from either end of the spectrum:
1) A local senior NHS manager who was provided with a car as part of her package, all costs including insurance for all family members paid for by the NHS. So she basically gave the car to her two teenage children to drive around in (and they crashed it twice, paid for by the NHS) while she continued to use her privately owned car for work.
2) In 2012 a brand new huge state of the art hospital was opened in our area. In 2016 I went to A&E with my son, and although there was not a huge queue, we waited ages. The reason was that the whole of the department was being redesigned, so most of the cubicles were under plastic sheeting while the builders knocked down walls, and staff attempted to treat people in corners. The doctor we saw was livid, and said it was all to do with a new manager not liking the way it had been laid out previously.
We are now fighting to save our stroke unit and maternity department, because apparently they can’t afford to keep them open.

I know when I worked for a retailer in their call centre years ago that if the delivery was late and it was yodel I may as well just refund delivery straight away, give them a voucher and apologise a lot.
I have had stuff delivered by yodel though that has arrived on time in recent years so maybe they are improving slowly.

It drives me absolutely INSANE when people do this. I have a few friends who like a post, then go through and click like on every comment on it – within the space of about 3 minutes, so that my phone buzzes like an angry wasp for prolonged periods of time.
I wish that it was possible to opt out of the “like” thing. I’d rather people commented, or did nothing!
