We’re Sure Apple Is Working On An Update For That

(I work for a major cell phone retailer as their national sales support; basically, I am a care agent for the store reps. For this particular call from a store, I was assisting the rep in fixing a customer’s bill because it was sitting at about $2,000 which is much higher than it should have been.)

Me: “All right, so I can see that the bill is looking much better now. I’ve got those activation fees waived, the access charges adjusted, and the accelerated charges are being adjusted right now. Okay?”

Store Rep: “Thank you so much. You are the best. I would hug you if you were a real person! I mean, wait… You are a real person, but you know…”

Me: *whilst laughing uncontrollably* “I know exactly what you mean. No worries. You just meant if I was there in person, since you can’t hug me through the phone.”

Store Rep: *laughing* “Exactly, you know what I mean. It would look pretty weird if I hugged the phone in the store.”

Me: “Well, everything is taken care of here now. The customer’s bill is now [amount much lower] and we have all incorrect charges adjusted. Is there anything else I can help you with today?”

Store Rep: “No, that is everything. You are the greatest. Thank you so much!”

Me: “Thank you for calling and have a great rest of your shift!”

(That call had me smiling for the rest of the day. To that store rep, you really helped me smile bright after the terrible week I had been having!)
