Overall Experience
The reviews indicate a mixed experience with the service provided. On one hand, there are concerns about rudeness and an arrogant attitude from one of the staff members, Heather. The caller felt harassed by being asked to repeat their name and contact number multiple times, suggesting a bias or difficulty with certain accents or names. On the other hand, there is a positive review highlighting good service and a willingness to help, despite unspecified issues with government policies.
