Shop Talk

This guy just came in to pay his bill on our payment machine. It is VERY easy to use. You only need a third grade reading comprehention score to understand it. That is evidently NOT something this "gentleman" has. He turns around in the middle of his pay ment and says, and I quote; "This machine doesn't spit your money back out once you started paying? I mean I know it says that it doesn't provide change, but I didn't want to put this whole twenty in."

I explained to him that anything he paid over his balance would be credited to his next bill, but he still went and got change from the bank.(he would have paid $1.47 over his balance) He ended up only paying $.47 over. He said that he paid enough for his phone he didn't want to pay us too...

I've been here 2 1/2 hours (strip mall) and have had 2 customers.

1) car charger
2) angry her phone didn't come with a lanyard and we don't stock them 🙄

On top of that, one of the other guys is on vacation so I've been solo all week and today. I can't believe it's this slow. Anyone else busy?

No? Then dance for me! 😈

😁 Dear Cretins,

I have been an NTL customer since 9th July 2001, when I signed up for your 3-in-one deal for cable TV, cable modem, and telephone. During this three-month period I have encountered inadequacy of service which I had not previously considered possible, as well as ignorance and stupidity of monolithic proportions. Please allow me to provide specific details, so that you can either pursue your professional prerogative, and seek to rectify these difficulties - or more likely (I suspect) so that you can have some entertaining reading material as you while away the working day smoking B&H and drinking vendor-coffee on the bog in your office:

My initial installation was cancelled without warning, resulting in my spending an en...

Yes i'm sorry someone stole your phone and I understand you wanted to leave it turn on so they can call you...But if you don't tell us that your phone is stolen then that $300 bill is your responsibility. Why should we pay your bill as it's not our fault your phone was stolen. But it is your fault for not tell us untill a month later. I'm sorry that bill is a rent payment and yes i must be an a** hole for not paying that bill for you.

I swear common sense is just not all that common.

I just had a woman call...this is how it went.

Me: Thank you for calling Sprint...blah blah blah...

Woman: Yes, is this Sprint? 🙄

Me: Thanks you for calling Sprint...blah blah blah 😉 (I do that just to piss them off...)

Woman: Yeah...my bill is due tomorrow...if I come down and pay it tonight will I get charged any late fees? 😳

Now I haven't been paying bills for more than a couple years, but I quickly learned that a late fee meant you missed your due date, not paid it early...****ing wetodds.... 😛 👿

Our Bathroom has 9 stalls, only one is Handicap, I am in the one on the end, enjoying the solitude of an empty bathroom. When you walk in and realize that there are eight empty stalls available WHY DEAR GOD do you pick the only stall, the one and only stall, that is directly adjacent to mine? Could you not go down one and leave my solitude alone?

I think there should be some solid Bathroom etiquette, which includes a rule about taking a stall next to an occupied one when there are other options. And STAY OFF THE FREAKING PHONE in the bathroom. I know you're very busy but don't talk on the phone while sitting on the toilet. Lord.

My aunt came online last night after I got out of Karate and asked me how my 'house of pain' was. That's what she calls my Karate class apparently. I have a fat lip, that's what's bugging me at the moment, and apparently I got a little bit of a black eye, I don't see it but she says it's there. I got punched in the eye, it knocked my contacts out. When the instructor bowed me out to go put the darn thing back in I had to stick it in my mouth and he made faces at me but that's th eonly way to keep it moist. Ah well, I'd rather be there getting bruises and black eyes than here, this place just makes me tired.

just got my refund back from this god-forsaken job......it's the best thing to happen to me since I got sick and missed 4 days here

Dear Sir,
I am writing in response to your request for additional information. In block number 3 of the accident reporting form, I put "trying to do the job alone" as the cause of my accident. You said in your letter that I should explain more fully, and I trust that the following details will be sufficient:

I am a bricklayer by trade. On the day of the accident, I was working alone on the roof of a new six-story building. When I completed my work, I discovered that I had about 500 pounds of brick left over. Rather than carry the bricks down by hand, I decided to lower them in a barrel by using a pulley which, fortunately, was attached to the side of the building, at the sixth floor.

Securing the rope at ground level, I went up to the...

I just had a little whiner call me. She wanted to get a T809 as a handset upgrade, I seriously doubt she was even outside of contract. She had called care and they told her the pricing she could get it for as an upgrade (the price she quoted me is the same as the one I've been quoted and I have 5 months left before I'm out of contract because of a renewal I did this summer for a promo-plan) and she claimed this was a ridiculous price and she was sure some other carrier would give her that phone for free. I managed to keep from bursting out laughing at her and explained that nobody else carries that phone, it's an exclusive to our company. Then she tried to get me to agree that the pricing was ridiculous. It isn't. I explained in no sma...

was doing an insurance swap for a customer, while her child was running around the store playing w all the demos..i hear the classic "LOok Mommy" and turn around to see the kid grabbing the samsung a940 and rotating the top piece..(viewfinder)..mom says "great dear, it rotates"...so I said "no it doesn't!"
😳 the smiley there sums up the look on her face, then i told her i was just kidding!! 🤣 🤣 a customer said that wasn't very funny, but i smoothed it over, saying i could have gone on with the gag..saying that its a400 $ your kid broke...but she was nice... 🤣

🙂 😁 😲 😎 🤣 😛 😈 😉 PITTSBURGH BORN AND RAISED!!!! AND JUST HAD TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO THE BLACK AND GOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I mentioned before that we have a neighboring team who is extremely loud. They are, they're rude and I can't stand them. But apparently it's actually not just the team as a whole but the individual members of this team who have no consideration whatsoever for other people on the floor.

For whatever reason two of them have come over to sit in the corner by my desk. I wish they wouldn't. They are loud, and obnoxious. The one has a radio on her desk and I've had to ask her twice to turn the thing down, she just cranks it back up as loud as she wants and jams, meanwhile I can barely hear the person I'm trying to talk to. They giggle and yell and stamp around. They just stood next to me, the one did, yelled at her buddy, then started ...

This in-duh-vidual called in. He wanted to get set up with service. He said he wanted "Just a basic phone." Ok, so I offered him our 6010. He then said he wanted a camera phone, and a flip. Since when was a flip camera phone a 'basic phone?" It's not. We went ahead and chose his rate plan and his phone (what he wanted was a free phone) and got his credit card (I was shocked he had one) information. When we got to his address he became the world's dumbest person in my book. I was shocked by his stupidity.

He was unable to spell his own street name. Not only that, the name he was giving me wasn't the right one at all, was coming up as not existing in the zip code. They guy was my mom's age and couldn't spell his own street! He g...

Getting a phone from myself(finally) but I can't decide between an e815 and a LG 8100, any thoughts?

For those of you who are not "fortunate" enough to live in California, here is a copy of the California Driver's Exam, and for those of you who do, study really hard. This is a new exam. Since driving conditions (and culture) are unique in Los Angeles, you may not have realized that the California Department of Motor Vehicles has now issued a special application and driver's test solely for the Los Angeles Metropolitan Area.

Seriously. What The Hell. The last week has been the most terrible godawful rubbish calls coming in. It's everybody. Most of the floor is taking more calls than they've ever taken in the past and getting fewer sales...and I just got a bloody lip... FROM MY WATER BOTTLE! I have a water bottle with a pop top and it snapped on me and basically punched me in the mouth and now my lip is bleeding and puffing up. I've been good, seriously, so knock it off!
