Consumed By Data

I used to work for a cell phone store and provider in the 2010s. A customer is complaining about the data service he purchased.

Customer: “I was told my data would last thirty days!”

Me: “Yes, sir. Up to thirty days, but you used it in one day.”

Customer: “I was told thirty days! It lasted a day! I want a refund!”

Me: “Sir, the data wasn’t unlimited. You used it all up before the thirty-day period expired.”

Customer: “But I was told it would last thirty days!”

Me: “Sir, if you bought bread from a grocery store that said it would last up to a week before going bad, but you ate it all in one day, would you want a refund?”

Customer: “Get me a manager! You’re making no sense!”

I get my manager, who heard the customer out.

Manager: “Okay, sir, if you bought a gallon of milk from a grocery store, and it would go bad in a week—”

Customer: “—What is wrong with you people! None of you makes sense! I don’t want no bread and milk!” *Storms out.*
