Book Review: YUK
Summary: 1 Stars

This book was pretty awful. CONSTANT reiteration of simple topics, beaten to death, like providing excellent quality to customers and then if that werent bad enough it follows with two examples Bright Spot Laundry decided . I couldnt even finish 100 pages. It felt like the author was just trying to fill pages. Dont waste your money.
