Everyone knows that old people are the ultimate SCs. They're either the sweetest people in the world or the suckiest. So imagine GGs luck when she lands a job for an agency that provides services for the elderly.
(not).
But it's a great job, pays WONDERFUL, and I don't have to take too many calls because I don't operate the main switchboard, I just do filing and data entry and talk about Medicare and AARP all day. Good experience considering I want to go into pharmaceutical sales. I transfer all the calls from our clients to the case workers usually, so this is a call from my co-worker's point of view, so it may not be exact.
CW: Co worker
OB: Old bat
CW: What seems to be the problem? Are you experiencing a medical emergency? We sent an aide to your home earlier.
OB: I'm out of milk.
CW: (this lady calls a lot and harasses CW, so she gets pretty nasty in return): Well, that's not an emergency. Tell your daughters to go get it.
OB: No, I'm experiencing an emergency and I need someone sent to my home right now to get milk!
CW: It's not an emergency and I don't think I'm going to talk to you anymore.
OB: It is if you want cereal!!!!!
I just lost it at this point. My family drank all the milk this morning, and I ate dry cereal. Tough shit! Next time I'll call 911 or something.
She finally talked to the director, who discontinued this woman's services. Go us.![Big Grin](https://www.customerssuck.com/board/core/images/smilies/biggrin.png)
PS: This lady is a real problem, and her daughters are more than capable of caring for her, they just can't stand her. So don't say I should have felt sorry for her for being senile, and blah blah blah. There are many bona fide emergencies, and trust me, this lady's milk was not one of them.
