Customers get worse and worse. It is a hell on earth dealing with the screaming , swearing and childish tantrums.
My favorite customer scenarios;
Rep : hi this is ,,,,how can I help you ? ...
customer: I've been on hold for x and transferred x times.
Rep: sorry to hear that , you've got the right person to help you . what kind of service do you have ?
customer: i dont know...tee hee hee
Rep; is it for tv phone or internet ?
customer : I have at i dont know ...tee hee hee
Rep: what is your account number ?
customer:i dont know...tee hee hee
Rep: what is the phone number you gave us as a contact
customer : i dont know...tee hee hee
or my most favorite
customer: I have wi-fi
( this happens over and over everyday in customer service )
**ok people, time to be grownups here ....you don't know your account number , you don't know what kind of service you have ...really?...its in YOUR house ..you don't know if you have a SATELLITE dish on your house , seriously ( then you have bigger problems than we can help you with....you dont know your phone number ? And NO you don't have "wi-fi" ....Wi-fi means you have ~internet service~ and use it wirelessly. ***
Here s a helpful hint that as adults you should already know -
Have your BILL in front of you, or log into your account . YOU are given tons of information when you order, setup service (account number, password, monthly cost , install date and time).
We are not here to manage your disorganized lives.
WE are not psychic , the service is in YOUR home so know what the hell you have . Know ~something~
* YOU are the reason hold times are so friggin long . *
Be prepared when you call.
