"eligibility". i can never figure out how many i's are in that word, i have to slow down while i'm notating and really think about it. "shortcode". premium texting. ugh. "there's no way i went over my minutes!" yes, there is, and yes, you did. "they didn't tell me that getting the free phone would extend my contract!". yes, they did.

Nice ๐Ÿ™‚
I like asking questions after their questions
ex:

me: Do you want to enter what you typed?

If the customer is rude my goal is to make them feel stupid for everything they ask ๐Ÿ™‚

I hear ya my wompwomp. Required just ticks me off! And when they say well I don't know what I want my phone to do. I just want a phone.

Best one today. Customer: How do I add the phone to the cart?

Me: Do you see a red tab that says, add to cart?

Customer: Yes.


Me: Great. Click on add to cart. ๐Ÿ™„

When it says required data or messaging plan, is it really required?

I don't need the internet on my blackberry, I just like if for the calendar.

I also hate the word IPhone.

Why is your dept's number on the website if you can't match their prices?

Well (insert any other wireless provider) won't make me pay for the internet on my new smartphone.

So, what kind of deal can you offer me to get me to stay with your company?

"what happened?"

Frequently said when I give a customer a set of instructions that they weren't paying attention to. A more appropriate response would be, "excuse me?" "pardon me?" or "I'm sorry, can you repeat that?".

But "what happened?" NOTHING HAPPENED BECAUSE YOU WEREN'T F'ING LISTENING! ๐Ÿ‘ฟ

Words I hate hearing over the phone:

*I've been with your company for like, GOD, YEARS, ๐Ÿ™„ (and when I check the account, the start of service is 2007 or 2008 ๐Ÿ™„ ) I deserve to get this $500 phone for free!

If we say no, there's a follow-up to that:

*Then I might as well cancel my account and go somewhere else who can give this for free!!!

Pfft.

"Let me talk to your supervisor."

"I didn't give them permission to charge me that!"

"How did I use up my spending limit?"

"Will the data plan be cheaper if I get rid of the internet?"

"This is my fourth replacement phone."

any words which are drowned about by children screaming, dogs barking, or domestic disagreements

"let me talk to your supervisor."

are you kidding, i LOVE hearing these words! it's usually what i've been waiting for them to say for at least 5 minutes. sometimes you can speak in code all you want, but they just don't get it. "there's nothing I PERSONALLY would be able to do to adjust these charges, I DON'T HAVE THE AUTHORITY."

Argh how I hate it when a customer interrupts me with those words!
It's either a dumb question, or a question they already know the answer to. ๐Ÿ‘ฟ

Those are good especially when you have a line of people in the store and you need a sign-in sheet.
Everyday
Cust: "I just have a quick question"
Me: Please sign in and we will be with you shortly.
Cust: but I have just a really quick question.
Me: I understand,but so does everyone else who is signed in.
Some one who is already signed in: You can't skip me to help them. Where is your manager?

Riot Starts in store over sign-in sheet.

I hate them too Wompie.

Actually the word that gets me is definitely. It grinds my gears to see it spelled with an A.
THERE IS NO A IN DEFINITELY.

here is an easy way to remember that.

IF you put an A in difinetly ...
then your definitely an A hole.

how about Cellphone

yes that would be the 5 digit number that we mail your bill to ๐Ÿ˜ณ

no, it comes after the @ and before the .com ๐Ÿ™„

ooo.... even better... YES it's the number that your home phone rings on!!!!

yeah, it's sooo not the 9 digits assigned to you at birth....


OMG, you figured it out... it's the number that makes the little phone in your hand ring!!!
Prize for the winner! ๐Ÿ˜
