    "I don't wanna!"

    Exactly the words a "grown" adult whined to me when I told her she would need to speak with out billing disputes team. Notes on her account indicated that she was told to contact them and was provided thier direct number yesterday.

    She believed that the bank owed her over $500 in credits to her account. Wrong. Dead wrong. Those credits were applied to her account and made her current balance at -$25 and some change. She didn't want to believe me so I told her she could speak with disputes and she started whining like a toddler.


    That should be automatically done!

    As spoken by a true entititled, pig. His card was involved in some sort of data compromise so, naturally, the bank issued a new account number to him. When told the standard mailing dates, he complained. I informed him of the expidited shipment and, of course, Mr. Selfish couldn't believe that he had to call and request a service that comes with a charge. It should be done automatically. $20 says he calls back and says he wasn't told of a charge for that and that he shouldn't have to pay it because he is such a "good customer".

    Suckustomer Logic...

    I get that long hold times suck. I really, really do. But, seriously, how does it make sense to hang up and get back into the waiting line at the VERY END?! Do these people think I have a magic button to jump the line?

    I can answer that last question. Yes, they do.

    As I told one grumpy caller a few weeks ago, "Everybody can't be first in line."

      I had a customer complain that she waited 30 minutes to get to fraud before she hung up and demanded that she be connected immediately. Yeah, of course, you can...right after everyone else who has been waiting has been serviced.

        When we're busy or understaffed (which is most of the time) I wish we could issue the people on the phone numbers. Like the registers would page a call for the cutting counter, and I'd just walk over, pull a number, and tell the person on the phone "you're number 74, we're serving 56 right now." Since it's fair and reasonable, it will never happen.

            I love those phone systems that actually tell you where you are in the queue, I just wish they'd wait more than 10 seconds between each notification.

              I wish we had something that told us how many calls are waiting. We had that when I was doing tech support for Big Universal phone/tv/interent. I loved it.

                But everyone is first in line, but only after they are last in line.

                  The IRD (Inland Revenue Department - think IRS) here in Kiwiland has a system like this - you can press 1 and it will keep your place in the queue and call you back when its your turn.
