Ensuring customer satisfaction

He must’ve Photo-shopped his picture – one half then the other to counteract the ever-shifting cast in his eye.  The foetid crosswind of his minted smokey-bacon breath was another thing you couldn’t check online.

Likewise voice.  His, attempting to cajole, was whining, ‘Sorry, Doll, body on the line at Bakerloo...’
I could check that later.  Maybe.  Nodded to Dave the barman;  he’d’ve known this one would need swift intervention. 
‘Gotta take a slash...’
Dave returned, unsmiling.  ‘I still say it’s a bit drastic...’
‘But if your Dating Agency guarantees client vetting, it’s essential to deliver...’
‘Even if it’s client into sewer?’

[This week's entry for Prediction Fiction, using 'crosswind', intervene', and 'cajole'.]
