          Mrs Adebayo booked a day tour to the Cradle of Humankind with Sizwe
          Tours (a fictional tour operator). The minibus arrived 45 minutes late at her
          hotel and the air conditioner did not work, even though the temperature was
          34 °C. At the end of the tour she walks up to the guide and tells him, in front
          of the other passengers, that she is very unhappy with the service.
