The following comments have been added:
I had a customer complaint the other day for a major supermarket. When a product is unavailable we we send the next best thing. The woman who rang in to complain had ordered a batch of strawberry jelly, and we did not have that in stock. When the products arrived at her door she discovered that the item they had replaced the jelly with was KY Jelly!!! (posted by Roy)

  • I work for a Premier League Football Club, and a few seasons ago, we had a number of pre season friendlies abroad. In addition to being able to arrange tickets, we also organise Travel for fans.

    We advertised that we had 2 packages which included not only match tickets but flights as well. We thought that the descriptions of the packages were self explanatory;

    Package 1 – Includes flight – standing ticket
    Package 2 – Includes flight – seated ticket

    Yes, you’ve guessed it, we were inundated with calls asking whether it was safe to stand on a flight and could they book to stand next to the window!!

  • I work for tech support for a networking devices manufacturing. One day had a call from a guy who was trying to install a wireless usb adaptor on his PC.
    The adaptor was installed correctly, and no networks were shown in range, so the customer became a little irate.
    Tech support: make sure your router is on and has the wireless light on.
    Customer: I have no router.
    Tech support: OK. Are you on a Wi-Fi or hotspot area?
    Customer: I don’t know what is that.
    Tech support: Do you know the name of the wireless network you’re trying to connect to?
    Customer: listen, I’ve been told that with this device I could get wireless internet, now how do I do that?

  • I have a friend who is a remote call-center agent for a couple different call centers. One is an appliance technician, one is a suicide hotline, and the other is for a collection agency.

    Line 1 (appliance tech)-
    Agent: You’ve reached xxxxxxx Appliances, how may I help you today?
    Customer: I’m having an issue with my new toaster.
    Agent: Alright, sir! I’d be happy to assist you. What is the model number of the toaster you purchased?
    Customer: xxxxxxxxxx
    (Line 2 beeps)
    Agent: Ok, sir! Give me one moment to look up your product. I need to put you on hold for just one moment.
    (Picks up Line 2)
    Agent: Suicide Hotline. What seems to be the problem?
    Caller: I hate everyone and I have no friends and my family disowned me. Is there really a reason to live right any more?
    Agent: Ma’am, where are you right now?
    Caller: I’m in my bathtub.
    (Line 3 beeps)
    Agent: Ma’am. I’m here to listen, and I really do want to help you, but I need you to hang on the line for just one moment. Can you do that for me?
    Caller: I guess….what’s a few more seconds.
    Agent: Thank you, ma’am. I will be right back.

  • I remember one time, taking a call, the customer requested to be transferred to someone in the US (I am located in Argentina). Sadly, we did not have a way to directly transfer a customer to the US… now, for me (and just about anyone else here, in the phillipines, india or elsewhere) its quite annoying that customers request to speak to someone from the US… I actually can speak english. So what I did was, I told him that I was located in America. when he asked me where exactly, I said I was in Argentina, South America :p hehe. The customer was angry at my response and he said that he wanted to be transferred to someone in North America… so I said (even though i could not do so) that I was going to transfer him to someone y french-speaking Canada :p even angrier he said that wanted to be transferred to someone in the United States! To which I replied that I was going to transfer him to the United States of Mexico (Mexico’s official name is Estados Unidos Mexicanos – Mexican United States)… all of the sudden cust hung up :p

  • True story:

    HR-Rep to me: Raising her voice over the partitions “Hey Junkie,,, could you come over here for a sec and show me how to take these words in this document and put it in an email?”

    Me: – With a perplexed look on my face – You want me to do what? Show you how to cut and paste words in a document into an email?

    HR-Rep: Yes I have this newsletter that marketing gave me and I need to send it in the body of an email. Hurry up and come over here…

    Me: Wait,,, you don’t know how to cut & paste words in a document? I’m sorry I cant help right now but I will when I’m done working on a mission critical issue for our call center ok?

    HR-Rep: (Raising her voice even louder like it’s going to make a difference)- It will only take a second and I need to get this out now, Marketing gave this to me and it needed to go out 60 days ago… Now get over here…

    Me: Seriously? You needed to do this for 60 days and you couldn’t figure out how to cut & paste into an email in that amount of time… Sorry, I’m not coming over there – (raising my voice like it would make a difference)Heres how you do it – Select the text, right click – copy. Open a new email & in the body of the email- Right click – paste. There, I just gave you the answer if you have any further questions put in a service ticket.

    Hr-Rep – In all my tenure here I’ve never had to put in a service ticket, if you don’t want to help me then I’ll just get your boss to help me.

    Me: If you insist – go right ahead, I have 300 people in a call center who cant take calls right now because you don’t know how to cut and paste. Tell you what, send it to me and I’ll see what I can do.

    (This starts the beginning of an epic email battle resulting in me actually doing what she requested and all I did was “Cut & Paste” from the document into an email… After I did her work for her she immediately tells me over email that I didn’t “space the words correctly in one paragraph”, some Font wasn’t bolded, and she wanted the words to say this instead of that”)

    Long story short – I told the Fat Whiny Big Boobied COW that I’m not going to do her work for her and that she needed to learn how to cut & paste because I’m sure you needed those skills to get hired for her job in the first place.

    She got my boss involved, I got her boss involved. They both told us we were being childish, she apologized via email but included in the email how she was absolutely certain that it was my job to assist her in completing her task then took digs at me thinking her boss was going to back her because she pointed out that it was such a simple thing that my boss took 5 minutes to do for her.

    Next day – she was fired… They didn’t even have her come in, fired her over the phone… After careful review of course of her exceptional skills, awesome talent and Godlike prowess – she must have been hiding in her boobs. – Minus the ability to “Cut & Paste”

    Enjoy…

  • Just had a thing with a credit card call center agent a moment ago. Thought I should browse and relax before I file a complaint against her. These jokes helped me to take things lightly. I realized we customers should give these agents a break. Glad to stumble upon this page. 🙂
