sigh....BIG EFFING SIGH.......

[DarthRetard]

Just some one-liners that have had me almost in tears.....all today, since all my coworkers took today off, I'm open to close.

What is cell-phone?

Where can I get free TV?

Make my phone work!

Do you work here? (smash!)

Why don't cellphones have cords??? (wha...???)

How do you like your job?

Tu Speakey Spanish?

Where's the closest circuit city?

I need a charger for a Nokia phone.....(then, when asked what model?) Nokia! I just said that! jeez, I guess they dont pay you enough to listen....











Man, where's that call center Jesus when I need him???

Man, where's that call center Jesus when I need him???

He's off celebrating his birthday

[DarthRetard]

Yeah, well, I'm a customer, and I demand service!!!!!!! Just kidding, seriously. Put the guns and knives down. Please. I mean, put the marshmallows and gumdrops down.....(we can't glorify/joke about violence, sorry Ree.)

[BusBus]

Man, where's that call center Jesus when I need him???

We need the equivalent of a bat signal or somethin'....

[Deceptitech]

Man, where's that call center Jesus when I need him???

The RS call center Jesus is right here, performing technological miracles for retards who think they can plug a coax cable into a 3/4" pinkney flange.

Why don't cellphones have cords???

Oh, but they DO. They're invisible.

[Spiffy McMoron]

How do you like your job?

I suppose that would depend. How often do people ask questions that damned stupid?

[DarthRetard]

Coincidentally enough, I asked them how they liked my job, and asked them if theyd like an application. I also told them about how I hide in the breakroom and sleep over and cry myself to sleep at night speaking overloaded spanish.

[SCSlave]

I get those same questions. Most often the "I need a charger for a Nokia/Motorola/Keyocera/WTFever phone" "What model?" And they look at me as if I'M the moron.

I had one the other day ask how much we rent cell phones for. Um..we don't rent cell phones...we sell them. Duh. She acted as if that was the most absurd thing she'd ever heard. She only wanted one for a month -- her daughter's cell was broken and she could renew her contract next month for a discounted phone...just wanted a phone to 'tide her over'. Sorry, chick..doesn't work that way.

Naturally, she stormed out fuming.

[DarthRetard]

I did forget one.....the ever-so-famous......and if you work an electronics store you know this one......


I need some cables for my tv/dvd/record player/blow-up sex toy. What kind? What do you mean what kind???????

[RentalRacer]

Why don't cellphones have cords??? (wha...???)

Don't feel bad...one of my employees told me the other day that "It won't be long before everyone has a cell phone in their house".
I asked him what he meant, and he said you know, like a normal phone, mounted on the wall, but it will be a cell phone that stays in your house instead of taking it with you.

[SCSlave]

Sooooo basically he's saying.....everyone will soon have a home phone?? WOW...such technology these days. Is he blonde, per chance?

[DarthRetard]

Pfsh....home phones....yeah right.....right after we get jet packs and iphones.....

[Barefootgirl]

I had one the other day ask how much we rent cell phones for. Um..we don't rent cell phones...we sell them. Duh. She acted as if that was the most absurd thing she'd ever heard.

Actually, there are plenty of companies around that will rent you a cellphone for a day, a week, a month, a year....because I used to work for one of those companies (in the US and in the UK). However, i very much doubt that that lady in question would want to pay the rental costs that most companies of this type charge, and besides, thats not really what she was asking.

I often have customers who get confused as to why I would need to ask them what type of memory they need to upgrade their computer. Some don't even think there's a difference between desktop and notebook memory, let alone a dozen different speeds.

And my two most favorite customer questions of sheer stupidity:
- Where can I find a Wi-Fi cable?
- (Holding a CD with a Wal-Mart label) If I put this photo CD on this scanner, will it print my pictures?
