#1353 – annoyance

This was posted over 23 years ago; my opinions, thoughts, attitude, and writing style may have evolved since then, and this post might have been different if it were to be posted today.

with the way some customers are acting (and their attitudes), it’s

really testing my patience today. *sigh*

at least after one complete asshole was rude to me and left the store, one

of the customer that as in here said to me that that guy was a real jerk.

(he told me accusingly that i was the “wal-mart greeter”, refused to let me

take his name for the waiting list, and basically created a scene when i

told him that i needed his name in case other customers came in after him to

see salespeople).

we have a promotion called “new every two” where after you’ve had your phone

for two years you get a $100 credit to get a new phone. an old crotchety

lady who was complaining about her service basically wanted free stuff

because she was stupid and ignorant:

sales rep: *looking at account* “…i see that you’re not on our ‘new every

two’ plan.”

lady: “of course i’m not! i’m on the ‘old every two’ plan!”

sales rep: “but ma’am, there’s no such thing as an ‘old every two’

plan!”

lady: “but i’ve always been on 2 year plans!”

sales rep: “uh, no ma’am, you’ve always done 1 year plans…”

lady: “how far back can you see on my account?”

sales rep: “back to ’98.”

lady: “… oh.”

lady: “i want to disconnect!”

sales rep: “why do you want to disconnect when we provide you good service?”

lady: “i hate it! i never get good reception anywhere!”

sales rep: *looking at account* “and yet you still use 3,000 minutes a

month?!”

so yeah, today’s been crazy like that. at least lunchtime is coming up

soon…
