CS gets mentioned

[celticgrl]

I was headed to the lovely (Ugh) Mart of Wals the other night and listening to the Jon Tesh radio show when he started talking about Rant websites and how they are not good for you to read or be on when he starts naming off sites Rant.com Notalwaysright and Customers Suck.

I don't know about anybody else on here but I know for me reading that others have been through some of the same crap I have been through and people to commiserate with helps me it doesn't harm me. I say maybe he needs to go work a CS job for a couple of weeks then see if he doesn't need places like Customers Suck.

He's obviously never checked out the site then. This is more than just a venting site. You can come here to get advice on things, talk about your life, your family, your hobbies, your achievements, your favourite shows...

[celticgrl]

That also and IMHO we are a little online family. When something bad or good is going on in your life you can come here for help, hugs, or congrats.

There is another very vile vile place that is also called CS.

The opinions of talk-show hosts are worth exactly nothing, for the simple fact that those people will do or say anything to generate an audience. Controversy and confrontation are king in that particular genre of radio and television.

This. Absolutely. I avoid talk shows, regardless of medium, because they're worthless. (For that matter, I only listen to the radio if the cab I'm driving can't accept MP3 input, and no longer watch television at all.)

Ignoring the online family aspect of this site, and ignoring the non-venting aspects of this site, and only focusing on the vents about customers here....even then, John Tesh is a fucking tool.

The dude's spent his life in the entertainment field. He's been a customer, but he's never had to deal with customers in order to make a living. So he needs to just shut the fuck up about shit he knows nothing about and stick to asking Lindsay Lohan about her latest drug-induced orgython, until such time as he bothers to find out what it's like to work in customer service. For now, I value his opinion on this and other websites about as much as I value a coked up rat's blood-laced vomit. (Sorry...didn't mean to bring up Lindsay Lohan twice...)

You know, this gives me a damned good idea for a TV show. "Celebrities In Retail." Let's put John Tesh and others of his ilk on the front lines at Wal Mart, McDonalds, etc. With HIDDEN cameras, so it will be a REAL reality show.

The rules:

1. Like many of us, they're not allowed to quit.
2. They're not allowed to acknowledge or announce their 'celebrity' status.
3. They get no preferential treatment from management.

I'd love to see how they handle real life.

Don't even need to turn the tables that much.

Sadly, I guess the thought never occurs to Tesh and his ilk: what would we be like if we didn't have someplace to vent? A few weeks of being waited on by retailers and waitrons who haven't been blowing off steam somewhere would change their minds in a hurry. If they lived.

[Silvercat]

Oh god, John Tesh. I can't stand his voice. And the stuff he spouts is either completely banal or stupid or both.

I didn't know that glad I haven't found it only found here and am very happy don't need to search for anyplace else

That is a really great idea wonder if we can find a producer and production company that would help us get this on the air.

LOVE this idea!!!!

Too bad it wouldn't sell in Hollywood, though.

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

Must've read something of mine then.

Hasn't it been established that John Tesh is, in fact, an alien?

Works for me. And not sanitized like that show about the CEOs working in their own corporations as peons.
