  • This is very inconvenient!

    Here is a quick one....

    Woman calls in with an issue on an HP all-in-one machine. She has a service plan, and service plans on printers have always been and are still carry in, meaning you bring them to the store for diagnosis and repair. This printer was only 1 day old, BTW.

    SC: I'm trouble with my new printer. I have installed 2 yellow cartridges and it says no yellow ink tank detected.

    Me: I'm very sorry sorry you're having this issue. Seems like the printer's cartridge sensor is defective. All you need to do is bring it back to the store and have them swap it out for another one.

    SC: Can't you troubleshoot this?

    Me: This issue is not troubleshootable, ma'am. This is a mechanical issue with the printer that although rare, does happen. As was said before, bring it back to the store so they can swap it out.

    SC: So there's nothing you can do for me?

    Me: Unfortunately there is nothing that can be done for this over the phone.

    SC: ....

    Me: Is there anything else I can do you for you today?

    SC: No and I just want to let you know this is very inconvenient!

    She hung up right when I was saying my closing lines. Seriously, the printer is one day old and is a bum unit. Just bring it back!

    ...yeah, damn.

    Sure, fine it's inconvenient... but swapping the unit is all that anyone would be able to do regardless. It's not like you have an on-call tech with an entire electronics shop PLUS a full stock of spares just hidden away in a truck somewhere, WAITING, just WAITING for her call.

      Wait you mean each customer doesn't have their own personal support team with a fleet of fully stocked truck with every item possible spread around the world ready to respond to their beck and call.
