Fun call
Me: Yes, we have free phones available with a new 2 year contract.
Cust: Let me axe you somethin. Wut it mean that I gots to do a contract?
Me: The phone is free or in some cases discounted with the understanding that you'll have service with us for 2 years.
Cust: No, no, no, no, no, dis say dat I get the phone for free.
***Insert 20 minutes of explaining the cell phone industry in a way that a 4 year old would understand.
Cust: I'm gonna sue you for false advertising, you gonna be fired.
Ahh, another fun day at work. 😁
OMG!
any funny calls???
what's that you say?
you have me call customer service to dispute the bill, and you want me to tell them that you won't pay it? that you simply cannot pay them this money that they say you owe?
and you want me to tell them all this, but you also want me to tell them not to cut your service?
oh, what is that you ask? you want to know why i suddenly look a tad angry? a bit frustrated?
because. you need service but we need money for it.
i like getting my paychecks every other friday.
Here we go again, gotta love my customers.
Customer Comment: Actually I am not eligible for an upgrade until tomorrow, so I was just browsing at the phones to see if I could narrow my selection. What do you recommend?
What I wish I could say? Well what you can do is come back on tomorrow when you upgrade is up so we can actually look at the phones at your price, so you can see what they are. And what phones we offer in your price range.
But what I have to say.
I'd be happy to assist what do you need on your phone more? A flip phone, slider? Full web based phone or other?
👿 👿 😲 😲 😡 😡 Sucks so bad
esp...
me: sure thing...well lets see you have 59.99 for your rate plan 30.00 for the group messaging on the primary line & a lil bit of internet usage on that line as well as on the secondary line.

me: well thats not correct sir. you do have internet on your phone, in fact you have pay per use internet on your phone.

Customer Pet Peeves
"Why do you need my pin number?"
Because YOU set up a pin for whenever YOU call in to get info about your account.
Because YOU didn't want any old person calling in claiming to be you wanting info about your account.
Because MOST LIKELY any company you have an account with has some kind of security information that you HAVE TO verify.
BECAUSE YOU SET THE F$%@*i**@ PIN!!!!!
BECAUSE I ASKED FOR IT, F@#$ER!!!!!
and one more reason..........
because i want to steal all your account info and ruin you, and lose my job 🙄
Employee Relations
Blaming retail.
"The guy in the store said I could have a new droid for free and I don't have to sign a new contract."
Well sure he did. He told you lots of stuff and much of it was fun. If you want the infamous "guy in the store" to stop saying weird stuff to you simply stop your usual "chemical enhancement" activities before visiting our retail locations. That way two things will happen. One is that they will actually see you in the store and will be able to speak to you instead of you trying to communicate via the "spirit world" while you are at the crack house. Secondly you might begin to hear 40% of what they say and process 20% of it. Please visit a detox center before attempting this wild new experience.
Why do stupid people?
What??? NO YOUR WRONG
Please do ME a Favor
Radio Shack
He told me at Radio Shack across the street and literally just got it.
I asked him why they didn't activate it for him and he said the guy didn't know how to...
WTF really!
He said he bought it there because it was $50 and he didn't have to send in the rebate.
I told him he paid $50 up front for great customer service that he just got and they didn't even know what they were doing.
He didn't care
I told him I can't help him only Radio Shack can help you since he bought it there.
I know that is wrong but really Radio Shack really?
I Can't Beleive This Actually Just Happened!
His second problem? Whenever he's in the car and on the phone, whoever is on the other line tells him that there is too much background noise and that he should roll up his window. No matter where he's at, the other person can't hear him because his phone is picking up sounds around him...
Ummm... Dude, that's what your phone is supposed to do!
