There's Ice In Our Panties

[BookstoreEscapee]

I asked my SUP if I could send this customer a Christmas card. She said no

You're SUP is so mean...

Of COURSE her cell phone won't work in a Casino! Casinos are designed to be cell-phone and radio dead zones to prevent cheating. They put scramblers in the cielings to kill signal.

I was gonna say that is probably the case...

[BlaqueKatt]

oooo I've got a +20 headset of smiting

which means:

I'm the ONLY person at the center with their original headset-presented to me by operations

my calls are never recorded

and extra bonus

I cannot be escalated on-ever-w00T!

I love my job

yes I'm technically a supervisor-all the power none of the responsibility

Better to let her cancel her contract, pay the termination fee, go to another provider, possibly pay a deposit, sign another two year contract, and then find that out.

...remind me to ask if I can send Christmas cards to a few clients when I get back to work. My managers till suspect nothing. In fact they'll encourage me to go above and beyond.... >.>

Your kitten has the perfect innocent-yet-evil expression on his face to go with that comment ...

I love it!!

Gotta love when people hang up and redial, only to get the person next to you. I work in a travel call center, and love it when I tell people "That will be x.xx to make that change to your reservation". They hang up and get someone else, who tells them the same thing.

For added fun, if the person who gets the call and I can communicate that it's the same person, we ask "Did you just call here a few minutes ago?" Of course, they stutter and stammer and ALWAYS say no.

Then to throw them off we sometimes add, "Wow, that's a coincidence, the agent in the cubicle next to me JUST HUNG UP with someone with the exact same itinerary, wanting the exact same change! Small world!" Of course, all of this is said in such a pleasant, non sarcastic manner, that management can't do a damned thing about it.

It would have been so awesome if you could have click a button that "locked" the account from everyone but the legal people. That way until legal says so everything would have to go thru her lawyer, which she would end up paying $$$$$ for because she tried to get out of a lie.

I want to join the Kara Fan Club too! Sign me up!

(Of course, if these Fan Clubs don't really exist, then just give me an honorary membership or something ...)

In case no one knows or has said it:

Of COURSE her cell phone won't work in a Casino! Casinos are designed to be cell-phone and radio dead zones to prevent cheating. They put scramblers in the cielings to kill signal. Staff and security who have radios/phones that can penetrate the interferance, but normal people can't call out. If she goes outside of the gambling areas, her signal will come back.

Doofus.

oh, and even if the signal did work, it is against every casino on the planets policy to allow people to use phones on in the gambling area. Using one would be grounds for a escorted trip out of the building.

Swordsman, you're not entirely correct in this. The casino I work at has no scrambler for cell phones, as the pit bosses, shift bosses, and other assorted management personnel all need to have phones they can be found with, no matter where they are.

But smiley is correct, in that use of a cell phone will playing on a table game is prohibited. They have to stop playing and move some distance away from the table. And I can, have, and will continue to delay the game if I see someone trying to sneak a cell phone under the table. Dude, I can see your arm moving, and see that you're looking at SOMETHING under the table. So don't lie to me that you're "just setting it on vibrate" when I know you've had it out for over a minute. And until you either move away, or put the phone away, the game will not be dealt. Capiche?

When I was playing in the Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City, I was told the casino had an arrangement with Sprint that allowed only Sprint phones to work inside the casino. My verizon phone would not work in there. It did work in the hotel rooms, just not in the casino area.

(Of course, if these Fan Clubs don't really exist

My fan club exists.... in your minds. It even has a casino (super-deluxe awesome bonus points for the reference).

I don't need a fanclub, you guys are all my buds. Unless I get some kind of tribute. But that would be more of a religion. Hmm, I wonder if dieties pay taxes....

Just a quick aside:

Kara, Love the new Icon. One of the first really strong female characters to make it onto US kiddie programming. I had a huge crush on the Princess as a little kid. Excellent choice.

[Bluenomi]

SM: I need a phone with big buttons! I like big buttons!

And I cannot lie.
