Some customers SUCK!! Tell me your story

[AlwaysBlazed]

lol no offense you to AlwaysBlazed, but I get way too many telemarketers calling my house, even after we tell them to stop calling. So now I have a tradition where I wait for them to go into one of their 5 minutes shpiels and very quietly hang up the phone so they can't hear the click, and keep talking. I only do it to the ones who keep calling after we've told them to frig off.

yeah, no offense taken i normally fuck with telemarketers also

Here is what I would love......video or audio of EVERY single interaction with a client that can be played back when they lie their FUCKING heads off about what I told them. That would be my heaven. :thumbsup:

That would be awesome. I want to confront some of our customers so badly but that is against policy because " The Customer IS Always Right" what a load of bullshit that is.

Everyone working in customer service needs to ban together and let it be known that we deserve respect. I have never been disrespectful to anyone who works with the public because I know how it feels. I always smile, leave great tips, thank them and wish them a good day. Its the least that I can do knowing how badly you can be treated.

I'm with you princess. Working customer service can be really tiring, and some people act like they're just slaves there to serve them, not human beings to be treated like.... well, human beings! After working in it myself I'm exactly like you, I always go easy on them and be friendly and understanding even when they make a big screw up. Because hey, it happens to the best of us.

I am really really glad i no longer work in retail (although i had some good times dressing up in the womens clothing and playing frisbee in the store).

Exactly!

Some people have absolutely no consideration for the feelings of others. :asskick:

I worked retail years ago and I learned to kill them with kindness since the customer is always right rule is usually true and it will always get you in trouble, even when you are right and you are trying to save your company money.

So my gift back to retail workers is to stick up for them since they can't do it without getting in trouble. If someone is being an ass to a retail worker whether at a restaurant or department store, I will tell the rude customer what an assclown they are being and I am very sharp witted so I can do it so that they not only know their behavior is unacceptable but embarrass them as well.

haha.. when i worked at sonic i worked in the kitchen... when i worked at johnny carino's i worked in the back washing dishes.. when i used to mow yards with this self employed dude... well my grandpa's been doing it for as long as i can remember so i basicly was already a professional by the time iwas 10.... not to mention most the people that have you mow their yard have 9-5 jobs... so we rarely ever even had anyone home...


however, at sonic i used to wanna go cuss out the customers... cuz i'd get bitched at when they changed their mind... by the time they bitched the order had been taken off the screen (what you use to know what to make) so i couldn't just point it out and say 'hey look it's right there, i made it just like i was supposed to'

alot of times tho the manager even knew what was going on.. but sometimes they didn't and i'd get bitched at -.-...
