She Uses The Google, Part 3
Me: “Thank you for calling the [Company] Festival. How can I help you?”
Caller: “Oh, thank God! I need help! Your website is terrible. I can’t do anything on it! All I want to do is book my damn tickets. This is f***ing disgusting.”
Me: “I’m sorry you’re having so much trouble! I can help you book your seats. What show are you interested in?”
Caller: “I just can’t do anything on it. I can’t even find the calendar. You really need to be more accessible. This is the worst website I have ever seen! Who the h*** made this trash?”
Me: “I’m sorry, miss. If you are having this much trouble, I would be more than happy to help you order over the phone. It will only take a—”
Caller: “NO!”
Me: “No?”
Caller: “Tell me how to do this. I’m not a stupid old crone.”

Caller: “Login?”
Me: “At the very top of the page it should say ‘Welcome, please login.’ I want you to click that message.”
Caller: “I don’t see it.”
Me: “It should be in big bold red letters, right above our logo.”
Caller: “Don’t be stupid. All it says is ‘Google!'”
(As you can imagine, the call went on for quite some time before I finally convinced her to let me book her order over the phone!)
