seriously? pathetic.

really now? are people getting this pathetic?


i have a guy come up to me at my kiosk today. he was walking with two girls. they go over to look at phone displays and he starts asking me questions about phones he could get and still keep his plan that verizon made for surewest changeovers.

all this time he's making extended eye contact, looking me up and down really obviously, telling me he likes my smile, etc, etc, etc. i'm like dude, whatever. just ask your questions and leave or give me your number so i can never call you.

after he leaves my coworker and i figure out that he saw his gf and her friend hitting on some other guy by my kiosk and started hitting on me really obviously in front of her just to "get back at her".

The dreaded ETF

This call more then any other really is the most entertaining.

You have to figure, this is where almost every single excuse comes out, this I think tops the "there ain't no way I used that many minutes" excuses.

I say this because despite how many times it's noted on an account, how many contract confirmation letters are mailed and how virtually every single ad out there has that note "with 2 year agreement", customer's still think that if they port out first and feign ignorance second that somehow it will just go away.

How in anyway can someone pretend they didn't know they had a contract on their account, I know for a fact coming up in Novemeber of this year, Sprint/Nextel will officially have expired all contracts for anything o...

how should i react

when i explain something to the customer and she ask me what i took time and detail to explain, just a simple process, it's not that i have to repeat myself because the customer didnt hear me, it's that she was not paying attention of my assistance ( i do know how to solve their problem) but then they ask me a question that i already answered...

one thing is to rephrase what i said to make sure that the customer understand... but have no clue after explaining thoroughly?

Me: And there will be a $50 non-refundable deductible applied to your monthly bill

CX: $50? isn't this covered under warranty?

ME: No sir, the warranty dept advised me before I spoke to you that your warranty was voided do to damage

CX: well when was I gonna be told what my warranty covers.

ME: warranty coverage information is included in your user manual from the manufacturer

CX: you expect us to read that?

ME: * head desk*

crazy old lady

i have this return customer, shes old and not all there anymore. when she first came in she was asking me how people could be bugging her phone, just to fuel the fire i told her that anyone with a digital scanner can listen in on a cellular conversation. then she proceeded to ask my how to get a radio talk show on her phone, it was for one of those southern baptist "god will heal this person for $5000" talk shows, i told her that you couldn't do that with a razor. so she left now she returns asking me the number for 911 and if i could add it to her contacts list, i did. then she asks if there was a way to use the phone to scare off attackers, like some siren that i could attach to the phone.

she makes me laugh a little bit every time she ...

I can't believe this just happened

A customer just came in to return/exchange a phone he bought... one year and 3 weeks ago.

According to the receipt, it was for a new line of service, activated on 9/3/2008.

it was a Motorola W490 - Black & orange for T-Mobile. He wanted to return it for the same phone- different color.

That's all well and good, but.. he's been getting billed for this phone line for a year now, and he never even cracked the box open?! What the #$%&??! 😕 😕 😕

I told him since we are an indirect dealer, we can't do anything here, he would have to go to a corporate T-Mobile store and there he can do a partial upgrade for a new phone, but little did he know he would have to pay out the nose for a new phone on a partial upgrade.

If he di...
