Guest: yea Dave, my friends stayed at your resort and they said they preferred this one complex. Why do they prefer that area and not one of these other places?

Me: I'm not sure, you may want to ask them

Guest: I am asking you, arent you the expert?

Me: well I dont know what your friends liked about where they stayed

Guest: ok well I see all these properties but dont you have competitors?

Me: yes sir

Guest: now be honest, Dave.......am I better off renting through one of them?

Me: no sir

Guest: now dont BS me here, Dave. You live there, I dont.

Me: sir, I work for this company. I am not going to recommend a competitor

Guest: what if they can offer me a better deal?

Me: well thats for you to find out

Guest: dont you know?

Me: I have no idea what they are offering

Guest: well can you research it and call me back

Me: no sir

Guest: well how am I to know I am getting the best deal?

Me: you'll have to shop around, I cant do it for you

Guest: oh ok....thanks anyway CLICK

You should have told him you have to charge him for acting as his personal shopper.

This!!

I'm pretty lazy, but I'm not going to make the customer service guy do what I ought to be doing.

Especially since personal shoppers usually get 25% of the total bill :P

That happened to me once at the computer store I worked at in College. A lady didn't like our price on something and then asked me to call around to our competitors to see if I could find her a better price. WTF?

I'd be tempted to call back in an hour (after doing nothing) and saying. "Ma'am, I called 4 places and we definitely have the lowest rates."

I just hate when they expect you to do the legwork for them.

Totally do that. "I called the competitor and not only do they charge more but they have roaving gangs of organ harvesters on their property. Better stay with us"

I assume this is an adult you were speaking too?

He sure doesn't act like one. That sounds like the kind of stuff School kids would pull.

It's the Reverse Used Car Salesman. Customers try to use it on me all the time. It's the buddy buddy you hate your job and want to help me out so tell me something I can use against your company.

Some customers want me to make promises that are fricking nuts or to say our company sucks and is ripping them off.
