I used to work at a Blockbuster, I’m not sure I’d want to relive those days.
My favorite was when customers would come in with the cards we mailed out letting them know they were in collections for a late return. something like $4.25 (yes we’d send people to collections for the cost of a rental) and they’d always have the same complaint “I’M TRYING TO BUY A HOUSE AND THIS IS DESTROYING MY CREDIT, REMOVE IT!” which I always did cause man…it was $4.25.
More like, “well for just $4.25, plus my convenience fee of $100, we can resolve this problem”
I love being assholes to assholes, so the chub is just a side benefit.
Yeah, but then you give them something to complain about afterwards. Pissing them off by being kind is sooooo much more rewarding. You haven’t experienced pettiness until you’ve gotten a customer to a boiling rage by being nothing but saccharine and professional to a pissed off customer looking for a fight.
I used to work retail cell phone sales for a now defunct reseller, and we’d frequently get people in who got pissed off when they found out we couldn’t do a lot of carrier functions, and boy was it fun winding people up by being kind, courteous and professional.
I wasn’t as bad as the South Park ISP dudes, but same vibe lol
For bitching about $4 that they should have paid weeks/months ago, bothering staff like like that is going to be an easy way out. Using a bullshit excuse for pity.
If you can’t afford $4, what house are you buying? Exactly. They just expect to be treated ‘different’, because ‘they’ are ‘better’.
“I’M TRYING TO BUY A HOUSE AND THIS IS DESTROYING MY CREDIT, REMOVE IT!” which I always did cause man…it was $4.25.
I’m sure they did nothing wrong with that house once they bought it…
