Wasn’t Banking On The Wrong Store
(Everyone at my branch says the name of our bank and the street we’re on when we answer the phone. Not everyone pays attention.)
Me: “Thank you for calling [Bank] on [Street]. How may I help you?”
Customer: “Yeah, where are you at?”
Me: “[Address]?”
Customer: “No, what’s the landmark?”
Me: “We’re in the [Supermarket] plaza.”
(The customer hangs up on me, only to call back half an hour later.)
Coworker: “Thank you for calling the [Street] branch of [Bank]. How may I help you?”
Customer: “Yeah I’m at [Plaza]. Do I have to go into another store to get to you or something?”
Coworker: “No. We’re right between [Store A] and [Store B].”
(The customer hangs up on her and calls back two minutes later.)
Me: “Thank you for calling [Bank] on [Street]. How may I help you?”
Customer: “Where the h*** are you?! I’m standing in front of [Two Stores Down] and I. Do. Not. See. You!”
Me: “We’re right between [Store A] and [Store B]. Look straight down.”
Customer: *seriously pissed off* “NO! The only thing between [stores A and B] IS [BANK]! WHERE ARE YOU?”
Me: “This is [Bank].”
Customer: “What. No you’re not. I called [Cell Phone Store].”
Me: “Um, no. This is definitely [Bank].”
Customer: “Oh, F*** YOU!” *click*
