Since the second year of the People's Choice Award launched last week over 2000 locals have logged on to let us know who they think has the best customer service in the game.
Over 100 businesses went into the barrel, although the front runners have amassed almost 10 per cent of the polling, registering 184 individual votes by Tuesday afternoon.
The leaders are being chased down by a pack of four or five businesses that are well into triple figures, with the runner-up just 40 votes behind, and third only another 15 behind them.

Last year Birrelee MACS cleaned up the People's Choice Award taking nearly 15 per cent or 296 of the 2041 votes, and are in the running to go back to back as the votes continue rolling in on the Leader's website until midday Friday.
This year, and despite businesses facing the worst drought in history, the Tamworth Business Chamber recorded an incredible 750 nominations for 434 individual businesses across 27 categories.
The Business Chamber are taking a home grown, support local approach to the gala night this year, with local food, local hosts, local music and 'supporting local' the theme of the night according to president Jye Segboer.
"In light of the ongoing effects of the drought and understanding that some businesses are struggling, chamber wanted to give the evening a real 'support local' feel," Mr Segboer said.
"Our caterers, bar operations, event décor, sound and lighting are all being delivered by expert local businesses, while we are also sourcing fantastic local produce for the three course menu.
"The ABC's Anna Moulder and 2TM's Gavin Flanagan will MC the evening, while the entertainment is being brought together by local muso Scott McIlveen."
Tickets to the August 9 event are available via the chamber website.
