133 Hilarious Posts About Working In Customer Service You Shouldn’t Be Reading At Work

That's the result of generations overly spoilt customers who demand royal service. Because the store chains have taught them that way. No, the customer is not always right. And no, employees are not your slaves

Just last week I walked all over the local hardware store looking for something. I then stopped and asked and as I asked I said "and nevermind because it's right there".

I used to sell Volvo spare parts many years ago. One day this man comes in and sez he wants to buy that bolt. What bold, sez I. The bolt underneath, sez he. What car model have you got is my next question as I think we have to start somewhere. A Volvo is the customers answer. Yes, of course, otherwise you would not have come to the Volvo dealer, is my response. But what model. It's an ordinary Volvo, is his reply. Well, all Volvos are rather ordinary sez I. We contined playing word ping-pong for a while when he finally said that he didn't want to buy the whole bolt, only the threads that were worn out. Curtains.

must thank him for prompt service

Give her what she's asking for. Strangle her right there on the floor.

Just don't let Starbucks see this post. They don't screw around with CS. You'll be wearing that frown at the unemployment line.

this is why I'm glad in Canada we've got the option of going to Tim Hortons. All the hubby wanted was a cookie. He started talking about fishing. Another employee overheard just the word pike and he gets a coffee. Asks why and apparently small pikes are not fish anymore there coffee types. Starbucks is ridiculous.

she is adorable,positively beautiful.

YAY!

hahahahahahaah

i was under the impression that customers are above all else

HAHAHAHA! All the bloody time! Customers just like a person that's got high "authority" because the customer thinks that you're an idiot, and that they know everything about your role that they try to belittle you. If only they knew what we knew, they would start listening to us, for once!

I have a great manager, and every single time someone says they want to talk to her I just get her, because every single time I know what the answer is going to be. It's fun watching people get shut down after they think you're going to cave in just be asking for the manager.

I hate when they take they're sweet time 2 minutes to close. Asshats.

I used to work at a Timmies in a mall. At closing we would close the shop and draw the metal sliding doors (we couldn't lock them until we were outside the store). But because we still have most of the lights on, you know, to be able to see what we're doing during clean up, people think it's their God-given right to slip through the doors and demand service, arguing that it's not a problem for us because we're still here working. Good thing we had mall security to charge their arses with trespassing.

Two words, inconsiderate m*rons

Those are the people who get food poisoning because there burgers are old and sitting there all day. Ordered food at 9pm. They close at 11 and had to go to the hospital.

That's too funny!!

I'm a owner of a new Company and I would like 90 of these for my employees please (JK)

That just looks really painful to me

Visiting VP: "Wow, this is great! I'd like you to work with Engineering on creating these as a "Morale Booster" kit, that we can distribute to every single employee. Fantastic work!"

This is bloody hilarious! I laughed at this more than I probably should have.

This would work well for those customers who think you have to have a smile on your face for 8 straight hours. Yeah, I bet they'd have a hard time doing it themselves!

Our "back" was literally just a break room and bathroom with a door to the dumpster. "Sure, I'll go look" *goes and gets a coke*

Walk out the back and look at the 1000 pallets out there and say , " Yes we have it, can you wait 2 hours?"

Yeah, we keep everything in the back. That's how the store makes money.....

If the computer says we have "zero", the wherehouse has "zero", O/O for wherehouse is "zero", other stores have "zero", then no, we don't have it, we're not getting it, and NO, there are no rainchecks!!! Yet, a manager will fix it they think! We do our best, but when the odds are stacked like that!! It's best to get a manager, and by God stay there so you are part of the conversation!!

I had a customer ask me this. I checked the back, scanned to verify and she still insisted I have a manager check the back.

Better show that place already as part of the guided tour after the job interview.

Me. Every day.

To add a little cycnism: when you work for a company that is so unorganized that you can sit iddle in the office without anyone noticing, expect it to be organized enough to not issue any holidays.

This has happened to me at almost all my jobs.

My girlfriend and I user to get into the same argument everytime we went to or were going to go somewhere around the time they were going to close. I would say they are closing in 10 minutes and she would say but they aren't closed yet. To which I would reply "No! We are not going to be those people!"

Not fair to the workers!!

Just so rude to go at closing time. These employees would like to go home, too!!

That door closes 5 to
