Best and Worst Industries for 2014

Based on customer reviews on WOMO.com.au, we've tallied up the ratings to bring you the best and worst industries for customer service.
Best & Worst Industries
First the good… It turns out that we're very happy with many of the businesses that provide us with personal care services – skincare, waxing (yes, really!), beauty therapists, massage therapists, and even dentists. There are also lots of trades not traditionally known for having good service, that we're really happy with. These include electricians, carpet cleaners, computer repairers, and even removalists. 

And now for the worst industries… These were overwhelmingly dining related! Whether our expectations for food and food service have increased, or these businesses are actually just performing really badly, it's difficult to tell. Needless to say, as consumers, we're disappointed in the customer service we receive from a wide variety of restaurants, cafes and bars.
