Service counter satisfaction: conceptualized
Article Abstract:
A three-stage model is developed to assess customer satisfaction with service counters. Customer evaluations in the first stage are based on passive expectations about the service such as server attitudes or cleanliness of the environment. The second stage involves the evaluation of the actual service. In the third stage, the expected and actual services are compared and the customer makes a decision on the quality of the total service.
