OK trying something different..
Whenever I ask them for their number to get into their account they say "I dont know, I dont call myself" lol 😛
Mine would have to be, "how do I dial 411?"
Back in my Cingular days I got that alot due to the nature of the community that I was in.
Also I had an older couple and ask if we sold Singulair the allergy medication. 😳
It drives me bonkers.
Or
when a customer comes in and says, " I want a phone that gets great reception. Price isn't important I just want something that doesn't drop calls like my sh!tty samsung" And I say " well this motorola v9x is a great handset for reception. Its $179 after rebate with renewal. And of course they respond, "Wow thats expensive! Where's your all free phones?" And of course I say " well here's a samsung thats free after rebate" And to no suprise they say "great I'll take it."...
(continues)
Cust: My phone doesn't work
Me aftr pushing power button: There you go, it's working now.
Cust: How did you do that?
Or When they come in and say "Yeah my phones not working" and I go ok well "whats it NOT doing" and they look at me and go "I dont know" haha
But yeah i so agree with the area code thing...haha i get that everyday.
"You can't ask me that, it's illegal to ask me that."
I explain to them that their SSN is an essential key in credit verification. Some of them go as far as to give me a fake SSN. As if we don't really use it to run a credit check.
Or more likely because they know their credit is pretty bad. I have even had people come in and try to use their children's SSN. Pretty crappy parents, willing to screw up their little kid's credit.
I can think of 3 things that bug me:
1. Me: Who's the name on the account?
Girl: Bob Smith
Me: Who's that?
Girl: My cousins, husbands, sisters, daughters, boyfriends, uncle.
2. What happened to all the free phones?
3. is this a Cingular store? 😈
The real problem is that customers make this job more difficult than it really is.
