In Need Of A Screen Saver
A woman comes up to the tech support counter carrying only an outdated monitor.
Customer: “I was called earlier and told to bring in another computer so you could transfer my data from my other computer.”
I check the notes that says she has an “unrepairable tower”.
Me: “Can I ask where the tower is?”
Customer: *Pointing to the monitor* “Here. I want my data put on this.”
Me: “This is just the monitor, ma’am.”
Customer: “What do you mean?”
Me: “This is only the ‘picture part’ of the computer. The actual computer, including where the data goes, is the tower — the bulky box thing?”
Customer: *Yelling* “I drove thirty minutes to get here, and I’m not leaving until you put my information on my computer!”
Me: “Bring us a computer, and we will be happy to.”
She stormed out ranting, and I don’t think she came back.
