could the people in NJ please chime in and tell me that this guy is NOT typical and just a douche (well, actually he's just the most recent)
These calls are coming in from Tom's River way too often
me- everyone's favorite CRS slave
sc- racist bastard
cw- really big black dude
me- reservation desk, this is smileyeagle speaking, how may I help you
sc- yes, it's been a while sense I've been down to Toms River, can you tell me what has changed in the last 10 years? (that's actually not sucky, if I'm doing my job right he'd never know that I was in CRS, and that does seem to be a valid question)
me- I'm sorry, I'm probably not the best person to ask, I only moved here 2 years ago, in the last 2 years not much has changed, there's more people living here than 2 years ago, but that's about it.
sc- is it still a good area? (once again, not that sucky, but is starting to lead to the suck)
me- yes, Toms River is still a pretty upscale area, we are right by the beach so I don't think it's possible for us to go downhill.
sc- oh, and is it becoming more diverse? (odd, but I could see it being legit with the way he phrased it)
me- sure, I don't think there's anywhere in the country that isn't getting more diverse.
sc- are you black? (whiskey tango foxtrot)
me- I'm sorry, what?
sc- are there black people working there? (omg, I did hear him right)
me- yes, there's at least one black person who works here, a few hispanics too if you must know.
sc- oh, I guess I'll have to reconsider staying there.
me- and was there anything else I can assist with?
sc- you never answered my question
me- no sir, if you must know I'm not black.
sc- oh, i'm so sorry you have to work with them, maybe next time you'll get a better job *click*
me- *quickly removes myself from the call rotation, somewhat visibly shaking*
cw- what happened
me- you won't believe that jackass
cw- what did he do
me- he basically hung up because I told him black people worked here.
cw- next time you get someone like that, transfer them to me... I don't care if I get fired, I'll put them in their place.
I love my coworkers... I hate my callers.
