  • A new round of Sales exploits... and hopefully the last...

    I hope I'll be in Tech Support soon... cause then, Soft skills are slightly less required.

    Customer: So, will this improve <function> over new version
    Rep: Actually, that part hasn't changed.
    Customer: Well, I can't believe it. Okay, thank you.
    Rep: Anything else I can help you with?
    Customer: No Sale! <click>

    Bad Rep! Bad Rep! No Sale! What the freak? I mean... would you have preferred that I lie to you??? I don't RECALL growing a tail, but perhaps the customer should grow a pair and not ask a question that he is not prepared to hear the answer to! No wait... that's too much to ask.

    2 minute minor for addressing me as an animal.

    --------------------

    Rep: Product A will do <Blah>, Product B will do <More blah> and Product C will do <most blah>
    Customer: How Much does it cost.
    Rep: The Price is <price, higher price, highest price>
    Customer: Wow it goes up every time.

    Yeah, because the more costly products do more, Cap'n obvious.

    2 minute minor for being stupid.
    -------------

    C: Will it do <this> I want you to guarantee it!
    R: Yes it will
    C: Can I have your name?
    R: <blah>
    C: Thank you, I'll place the order online. <click>

    So, you don't want me to profit from the information I know and have given, but you want someone to blame if something goes wrong? Thanks a lot, jackass.

    2 minute minor for robbing me not only of my time and money, but also my braincells. These things don't grow on trees, y'know.
    ---------

    Customer: Why is my card being rejected
    Rep: Because you're ordering from the UK, the system is detecting your IP address and rejecting the card.
    Customer: But this is a global economy!
    Rep: Even so, sir, this is how our system is set up. I'm sorry, but you can't place a web order from the UK.
    Customer:...
    Rep:...
    Customer: Well you're of no help <click>

    Yeah. It's called "unfixable" You know... for a reason. Stupid Id10T!!

    2 minutes for stupid, a seemingly incurable disease that I don't want to catch for you, so I'm scraping your damnable cooties off of me.

    ----------

    And my personal favorite:

    Customer wanted help with product, but tech support was closed. IT should be noticed that the customer was a "Doctor" which as most of us know here is synonomous with "Jackass"

    Customer: I know you can't help me, but I tried customer service and they aren't picking up. It would seem that your company is simply cheating the customer. I need to do <function> can you help me with this?

    Rep: I'm afraid not as I work in the sales department.

    Customer: Well, I mean what do you think? I mean customer service indicated that I could be mucking up the works.

    Rep: That is a strong possibility.

    Customer: Well, I don't know what to say... can I have you transfer me to Customer service?

    Rep: Give me one moment.

    Whaddya want me to tell you? Oh, no sir, it couldn't POSSIBLY be You, you smart little demigod you *retches* that would be OUR program being extraordinarily difficult. Bad Program! Bad Program!

    5 minute Major for being a Doctor, followed by two minutes for wasting my fraking time.

      Haven't tried ordering from the UK yet, but I kinda figured it would have been the same as when I put in my orders to Hong Kong. Guess not. Good thing I don't have anything to order from the UK.

        To be fair if you are unable to process any charges outside of a certain location, you should state it where it can be seen pretty clearly.


        If you do state it, then the guy is just being a Jackass

          Yeah. Then of course, SC don't read signs. Even those in bright, big, blinking red letters. Especially those, in fact.

            Interesting. I've ordered quite a number of items from the US from my position in the UK. I've never seen a web page that refused my card based on my IP address.
