job availability

It's one thing to say the economy sucks. It's another to say that and not even try to first get another job. I mean atleast try applying a few hundred times and then say the world sucks and its not your fault.

Custy Emails

When I ask for a customers email address I never am sure about what the customer is going to say back. Some don't want to give it out. Some dont have one but everynow and then you get a classic....


" Sir may I also have your email address"

" Sure it is bucketoffairies01@......."

😳

Any other good ones you guys have collected?

400 min.
50 dollar.

400/50=8

But i got that through trial and error.

Someone show me how the equation goes Please

The people here give me cancer

some of the people who are posting here now are really giving me cancer, I'm not a grammer nazi or anything, and i know you call center reps are stuck in caves most of your day working a soul numbing job, but so do I here at the store location. Get back in school, learn some simple grammer, some spelling, hell use the spell check, and read your post back to yourself if it sounds like something that would come out of the mouth of a special Olympics contestant then you might want to go back and edit your post, also read the entire thread before posting, and most of all drink lots of tab and mountain dew.

apparently they renamed my kiosk....

you know its gonna be a bad day when.....

you've only had four people visit your kiosk in two hours.

1. 14 yr old girl with an env2 "warranty problem" that we can neither duplicate nor do a warranty swap for.

2. an aging older gentleman who is a verizon customer but wants to know where the nearest sprint store is.

3. an older woman who comes up, glares at you for not walking over fast enough, and blurts out "where's macy's?"

4. a guy in his 30's who wants to know if they put an apple store in the mall.



did they put a huge "MALL DIRECTORY" sign up on my kiosk? cuz apparently i'm the only one who can't see it....

CSR: can i have the address where you want the phone to be shipped...

customer: uhmmmmmmmmmmmm
can i pick it up at the store

CSR: NO, we only mail the phones..

customer: mmm, can you mail it at the store that i purchase the phone at??

CSR: no but we can mail it to a business or a family member if you wont be home...

customer: can you mail it to my job???

I just dont get this questions. you explain a simple process and the customer repeats it again... i understand it may be the first time, but come on...

really.

So one of our regular old dude customers comes in with a bag from our store and 5 car chargers, none that were bought at our store.
He tells me that none of them work and he needs to return them.
I tell him first that none of them were bought here.
Then I ask him if they all slowly died or what he means by they don't work.
He tells me that all of a sudden one day he tried one and it was broken.
So he tried another one that he had.
It was also broken.
He went through all 5, all broken.

I tell him that the odds of them all breaking in one day is pretty slim and maybe it's the fuse in the cigarette lighter in his car.

He tells me that it is impossible because he has a Cadillac.
And everything else in his car is working.
