Wait, wait, wait equals frustrated customer

On pick up in Burbank CA they did not have a car for us although we reserved one over a month before the trip. After about 25 minutes inside we were told to go upstairs and they would help us there. The problem is that for 15 minutes we could not find anyone to assist us and when they did we had to wait for the car to be washed. Never before had we had this much trouble with a car rental.
