It's like this. Everyone gets to rant and rave via blogs and/or podcasts. Well, if you know me, you know I used to have my podcast, until my co-host died. Sad :'( Anyways, since the podcast was really nothing more than 2 dudes taking bingers on a radio show, I figured I would move on to the blog.
Now then, with all that being said here is the first blog of 'Pro Status'.
Call centers are an interesting place to work to say the least. You get a berjillion calls a day from random people who either want to buy something, yell at you, or just waste your time with stupid stories about their goddamn cats. Now, occasionally, you do get a cool ass old guy calling who's just talking about something awesome like drinking or his wife spending his money so he just buys guns to piss her off (yes I did take that call today...) anyways, mostly its just people calling to yell at you or buy something stupid and then get pissed off that they bought something stupid so they call back to yell at you to tell you its stupid or not what they ordered.
Here is what I wish. I wish, I wish.... I F'ING WISH, I could tell these people,
"Hey asshole, why in goddamn god's name would you think you're getting a fucking trampoline when you fucking paid 12 dollars for something that says 'TRAMPOLINE SPRINGS -TRAMPOLINE NOT INCLUDED' and then have the fucking balls to call me an asshole because my company sold it to you?!?!?!"
Instead, I have to tell them,
"Well I am certainly sorry to hear that a trampoline was not included. I do see that it says in big letters 'TRAMPOLINE NOT INCLUDED' but what I can do for you is set up a return on those springs. If you like, I can call you back with the return information."
After some more yelling and calling me an asshole, they agree. This is what makes it fun for me. I never call back. HAHAHAH F YOU CONSUMER! (To be fair, I do call back people I like, but like the food industry rule of 'DON'T F WITH PEOPLE WHO HANDLE YOUR FOOD' there is a call center rule too; DON'T F WITH PEOPLE WHO HANDLE YOUR MONEY! Yea you will get your cash back, but if your nice, you can get all of it back and quickly, but if you're a dick, it might be a while and it will probably be half of your money.
That is all for now.
PS - If you haven't picked up on a few things
#1 - I like to rant.
#2 - I like commas.
#3 - I do what I want. Whatever.
What about this blog exactly gives you your "pro status"?
