YOU,
YOU GOAT HEAD!
Right
after I started with customer service, I had a customer
call who gave me her account number before I was ready.
I asked her to wait a moment, and when I was ready said,
"Go ahead." She started to give me her number
again and then stopped. "Did you just call me goat
head?" she asked. I was horrified. "Oh no,"
I sputtered. Then she started laughing, and added, "My
husband always gives me a hard time when I say 'go ahead.'
He says, 'Don't call me goat head,' and this was the
first opportunity I had to use it on someone."
WOULD
YOU LIKE PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS WITH THAT?
I
had been talking to a lady who was on her cell phone
when she said, "Hold on while I order my food."
I waited and heard her order a cheeseburger, french
fries and an orange pop. Then she came back to me and
we discussed her payment arrangements.
OH,
BROTHER CAN YOU SPARE A FLIGHT?
I
work in a call center for a travel agency. One morning
a lady called and asked for a bereavement fare as her
aunt had just passed on. Taking into consideration she
wanted to leave the following day and was asking to
travel in a very expensive market on the most expensive
day, she was extremely upset when I informed her the
fare would be over $700. "Oh that's just great!"
she exclaimed. I apologized and asked her if she would
like me to try any other dates or airports. "No,"
she answered, "this is just so ridiculous. Why
couldn't she have died at a more convenient time?"
