Can’t Subscribe To Their Way Of Thinking
(Customer calls in to try and get a refund.)
Me: “Hello this is [My Name] with [Company]. How can I help you today?”
Customer: “Yes, I want a refund for my TV Weekly. I bought a subscription and I don’t like it.”
Me: “Okay, just give me one second to look into your account.”
(I access her account.)
Me: “Okay, ma’am, unfortunately we will not be able to give you a credit on your account because—”
Customer: “Why the h*** not!?”
Me: “Well, as I was saying, it looks like you received every issue of your two-year subscription and it’s been a year since we sent you a renewal letter.”
Customer: “So what? I just told you; I didn’t like your magazine and I want my money back.”
Me: “Ma’am, according to your account we never received one call or complaint in the entire three years since you ordered the magazine.”
Customer: “Well, I didn’t have the time to so I’m calling now.”
Me: “In three years you haven’t had the time?”
Customer: “Some of us have REAL jobs.”
Me: “Okay, well, then the charge shouldn’t be a problem; have a good day, ma’am.”
