Notice when people give you credit card info they sound like a robot.

And since im on this topic who do people keep their wallet in their car I mean is that really safe?

I hate when they get all monotone when giving their info. Its even worse when you ask for their address and they speed through it like i can understand every word they are mumbling.

And I don't get why you would leave your wallet in the car, i constantly lock my car doors as it is but i'm not even going to leave it in there to tempt someone into breaking into my car.

My old roommate used to work with me here so I at least had her to talk to when it came to work, my bf listens but sometimes he doesn't want to hear me complain.

A job's a job but the only way to stay sane is to b!tch about those that call in and b!tch to me lol

The best thing about working in a call center: being able to mute yourself, b!tch at the cust, and get away with it. ^_^

island_chica

Sep 8, 2010, 7:02 PM
Agreed!!! 😁 I flip off my phone more than I do when I'm not at work. Not like the other person can see it, but it makes me feel better.

Sep 9, 2010, 6:15 PM
Customers are idiots... I believe that if you dont know how to use your phone, you must take it to the closest store, turn in the phone, as well as your Right-To-Breathe card, because, sir, you've officially lost it.
...
island_chica

Sep 9, 2010, 6:49 PM
đŸ¤Ŗ Agreed!
I'm so over customers thinking we owe them everything and want me to give them a free HTC Evo when they aren't even eligable for an upgrade. "Of course! I would love to since you demanded so nicely, in fact for the next 6 months I'm even going to have your bill sent to me and I will personally be paying your bill just because you are the best customer Sprint has." 🙄
...
Harlequinn23

Sep 9, 2010, 6:59 PM
đŸ¤Ŗ Wow... you wanna pay my Sprint bill? I dont mind sending it to you, granted its not a whole lot, but still. You want it? lol

Oh pretty pretty please may I? It would make my life complete and I would love nothing more than to pay the bill for you ;) lol

Sep 10, 2010, 2:59 PM
What I hate worse than the robot voice is when they spit out the numbers really fast and at the same time, they don't understand standard pauses. For example, a normal customer would read the card # this way

xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx

The horrible ones read it really fast this way

xx-xxxx-xxxx-x-xx

grrrrrrr

And I still can't figure out why they keep it in the car but most who do have horrible credit so maybe there's a correlation.

Lol. just to mess with ppl, I read the phones numbers off like xxxx-x-xx-xx-x

Sep 10, 2010, 4:11 PM
I'm good, I just hate spoiled little 12 year olds. I cant stand it when a kid is yelling at her mom because she doesnt have a memory card and is gonna lose all her photos, because she's stoopid and didnt realize dropping her phone in the pool would cause it to mess up.
...
island_chica

Sep 10, 2010, 4:37 PM
Ouch! I'm glad I don't have to deal with kids over the phone unless they are prank calling and are stoopid.
If I were that girls mom, I say tough luck. Maybe next time you won't go swimming with your phone.
How was the rest of work last night?
