Old Testament God was just the Israelites excuse for being dicks. "God SAID we should destroy this whole city."
God's like "How many times do I have to let you fuckers get enslaved and sent into the desert for decades before you get it..."
Then he sends his hippie son down to spread the peace and love and they're like "Sure, sure, peace and love, right, FALSE PROPHET GET HIM" and back to being dicks...
wow this anti-semitism
Shameful pursuits and utterly stupid opinions

LudiousI just wanted a sandwich A temporally dislocated QuiznosRegistered Userregular
many years ago i had a customer trying to play hardball with getting credit for a returned part she hadn't actually sent back yet
and i calmly explained that i needed the part back before i could issue credit for several minutes
but she wouldn't relent and kept getting shittier
so finally i just said, "look, you fucking shithead, if you want your god damned credit you're going to have to send the fucking part back first" and hung up on her
and apparently she was just offended that i said "god damned"
they don't let me talk to customers much anymore
Sometimes you have to fire a customer. Into the sun.

Okay but
Fuck people like that
The world is full of people whose go-to phone move is "just be shittier and shittier" because they're relying on companies using phone people as sacrificial lambs until they eventually throw the angry customer some bone and it works often enough with no repercussions
Fuck 'em
oh i have no regrets for sure
i don't take shit from nobody
*brofist*
It gets jack shit from me either. If they keep making the same demand to me I just keep saying EXACTLY the same sentence to them in a progressively more and more "explaining like they're five" tone of voice and if they swear at me I'm like "I don't have to take your call byeee" and hang up on them
Basic rules of being a customer on the phone to me,
1) The customer is not always right. I'm the one doing this professionally, I'm the one that tells you how it is not the other way around.
2) You the customer is the one asking me for help, I am not obliged to give it. Speak to me like an asshole and you can find someone else to deal with your problem for you.
3) If I say I'm not going to be providing you with service for whatever reason there is a finite amount of time I'm going to spend 'splainin it to you. No I don't care what you're going to do now that's your problem not mine, I got shit to do today other than repeating the word "no" to you for an hour.
It's amazing how many people get on the phone to customer service people thinking they're the ones in complete and total control and it veeeeerrrryyy much does not work like that, you come on my turf you're playing by my rules SON.

Honestly, I really like them for a corporate account. They're funny, they interact with people, they hand out a lot of coupons, people being weird people were begging for steak umms merch so they released a bunch with all profits going to meals on wheels.
I mean I'm sure there's problematic shit there but whatever they're fun to interact with
Google had me sign in to my account yesterday on my home machine and it freaked me out. Probably some window update reset my cookies. Weird thing was it was saying authorize a machine in redmond when I live in bothell, but I remembered that for some reason the geo coding for my area (like weather apps etc) always tags us in redmond.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

I've seen some weird cert prompts in Google apps lately.
Sad truth of the matter is capitalism works exactly the way we always feared it does, businesses give zero fucks about the individual customer and that is 100% down to a vocal minority of lunatics that make it impossible to run a real complaints process.
We wouldnt keep employees longer than a week if complaints actually meant anything. Complaints and report functions are basically like the buttons on the road crossing, pushing them makes eejits feel like they're in control but really the button isn't hooked up to anything.

I'd really struggle in a position where I'd have to take a lot of calls at a desk. I'm pretty much incapable of talking on the phone without pacing around. But a body in motion is a mind in motion and all that.

I'm not allowed near spam any more.
