So we're 1/4 way through the holiday season, more or less and I've already noticed something. Customers think we have way more power than we do. I mean sure we all get the random customer telling us "we" need to change "that". But just today I had two people tell me that I need to tell "them" they need to fix "that". At least one of those things I'm pretty sure it was something the customer was doing when making Christmas cards. The other one was about something that we don't carry anymore.
Yesterday my coworker was on the phone with a customer who was having trouble with the photo website (not our department, get help from them) and the woman wanted to talk to the person who wrote the program to fix her problem. Say what now??
I would think by now that people would understand how corporations work. The people you see have no power at all. Nor do we care. I mean I can try to help you as best I can but all I can do is change the price of something. I can't make something magically appear to fulfill all your hopes and dreams. Believe me, if I could I'd be the first person I'd help.
