Me: “Let’s just pull up your case. Can I have your case number?”
(The client gives me their case number and I pull up the case.)
Me: “Well, it looks like you didn’t return your application. Without an application, we can’t approve welfare benefits.”
Client: “Can’t we do it over the phone?”
Me: “No, you need to come in and do an in-person interview so we can get an ID and a signature.”
Client: “So, we can’t do it over the phone?”
Me: “No, we need a face-to-face interview.”
Client: “That’s just too much work. I’ll just go get a job!” *click* " |

Customer: “When the woman called me, she said the title of my book in the message.”
Me: “I’m sorry, sir, is that a problem?”
Customer: “Well, you see, the government’s tapping my phone. I don’t want them to know that I know what they’re up to.”
Me: “Um…Ok, sir. I’m sorry about that. I’ll make sure it doesn’t happen again.”
Customer: “Thanks.”
Me: “…would you like a bag, sir?”
Customer: *starts laughing* “No thanks. I’m not that paranoid!”" |

I call b.s. on the "toxic chemicals" that disappear overnight. They were just being lazy and I wonder if the store owner knows they are turning away customers so that they can get out of there almost exactly as the store closes.1/12/2009 3:23:15 PM |

Today's are good.
Quote : | "(I overhead my coworker have this exchange while helping a patron.)
Coworker: “What can I help you find?”
Patron: “I need pictures from when they used to tie small cameras to birds to take aerial photos.”
Coworker: “Well, I don’t think that we would have any books for that - let me look online.”
Patron: “I kinda need this right away; my class starts in ten minutes.”
Coworker: “I’m looking as fast as I can.”
Patron: “Well, f***ing look faster! I am going to fail this class now, and it’s all because of you!”
Coworker: “I found your photos. I’ll send them to the printer right now; it will be 50 cents for the print.”
Patron: “What the f***? You expect me to PAY for the prints?”
Coworker: “Yes, yes I do.”
(The patron hands over the money while swearing under his breath.)
Coworker: “Enjoy.”
(She hands him the papers and he runs out, but not thirty seconds later he runs back in.)
Patron: “I need pictures of the f***ing birds, not the pictures that they took!”
Coworker: *as she turns off her computer* “Well, it looks like our system is down. You’ll have to come back at a later time.”
Patron: *storms out*" |
Quote : | "(A family group was checking in - one lady in the group started telling me about her husband’s recent death from cancer.)
Customer: “…and he was all eaten up with colon cancer, and he just died.”
Me: “Ma’am, I’m sorry, but that is really not any of my business. It seems like a very private matter….”
Customer: “What?!”
Me: “I’m not comfortable hearing–”
Customer: “Are you a Christian?”
Me: “No, ma’am.”
Customer: “I knew it! You are evil, and will burn in hell. I’ll speak to your manager in the morning!”
Me: “Ok. That’s fine.”
Customer: “I hope you liked your former job.”
Me: “…”
(The group went to their rooms. A few minutes later, one of the adult daughters came to the desk.)
Me: “Yes, Ma’am?”
Customer’s Daughter: “I just came down because I wanted to see what pure evil looks like.”
Me: “…”" |
Never mind that if the employee had just let the woman babble, there wouldn't have been the exchange.

Deserves to die:

Customer: “Yeah, I have this error stuck on my TV screen - ‘Acquiring Satellite Signal’ - how do I fix this?”
Me: “I show from your account info that your area is undergoing a hurricane. Are you having bad weather now?”
Customer: “It’s raining and windy.”
Me: “Well, the rain and cloud cover are going to block your signal until the storm passes. The weather reports show that this is a major storm; have you considered evacuating for your own safety?”
Customer: *angrily* “How do I know if I need to evacuate when the TV only shows me this ERROR?!”" |

Quote : | "(A customer had already ordered, picked up, and drank most of his drink. He then walked up to the counter and was very angry.)
Me: “How can I help you?”
Customer: “What the f*** is this?!” *points to his cup*
Me: “It looks like the drink I made you, and you seem to have already enjoyed it.”
Customer: “No smart-a**…this!” *pours the drink onto the counter and a key bounces out* “What the f*** is going on here?!”
Me: *alarmed* “I am SO sorry sir! When I made the drink, I know there wasn’t a key in it. Let me make you a new one.”
Customer: “Yeah! You f***in’ better make me a new f***in’ drink. This is complete bulls***! You’re lucky I don’t sue you and this coffee company!”
(I take the key and make him a new drink, and he goes and sits outside with his friends. The key wasn’t mine, so I started asking coworkers and customers. No one was claiming it. The customer walked up about 5 minutes later, bright red and embarrassed.)
Customer: “Yeah, uh…I’m going to need my car key back so I can go home….”" |

Flight Attendant: “What can I help you with?”
Passenger #1: “The plane seems to be shaking a lot, and I almost spilled my bottle of water.”
Passenger #2: “Yeah, and it’s also really noisy. We can barely hear each other talk.”
Flight Attendant: “Well, the shaking is the turbulence that the plane is flying through, and the noise is coming from the engines.”
Passenger #2: “Can’t you turn off the engines?”" |

Caller: “Yeah, my cable box in my bed room is not working.”
Me: “Okay, I can talk a look at that for you. How is it not working?”
Caller: “Look, I just want to watch Eragon in my room…”
(I finally figure out that the box will not take the signal we are sending.)
Me: “It looks like we will need to get a tech out there to replace the box.”
Caller: “Why”?
(I try to explain that the box is refusing the signal and that we need to switch the box. This goes on for five minutes before I give up and try an alternative answer…)
Me: “Um… the box has gone rogue and is no longer taking instructions from us. We need to bring it back in for training.”
Caller: “Oh, that makes sense! Why didn’t you just say that?”
Me: “…" |
