"I'M A MEDIA CONSULTANT!" (short)

[Nakajo]

So, in walks a lady with a big-screen TV that she had bought online. Broken, wanting to return it...

8 months past the 90 day return policy.

We told her no, and, of course, she threw a fit until a manager gave her the return.

She kept saying, "I'm a media consultant! I know all about TVs! There's no way to fix this, YOU BETTER RETURN IT! I'M A MEDIA CONSULTANT." Honestly, she kept saying "I'm a media consultant" over and over again to the managers trying to figure this return out between phone calls to the SM, the dot com, and corporate. It was pretty generous that they gave her this return, but all she could say in response was the media consultant crap. She was like a parrot.

So, we did the return, and after the managers had left, further ranting from her for the "inconvenience we caused her" revealed where her oh-so-important media consultant job was at...
the local library.

I just was dying to say, "I'm a digital media major, the inside marketer for this store at 21 years old, and I just finished up an editing/shooting contract on a book/video trailer for a recent New York Times Bestseller. You were saying?" so she'd shut up.





(PS: Trailer part is true, I was production assistant for the book trailer for Earth: The Sequel. Look it up. Oh yeah, and I just got promoted to that marketer job. Got a raise and no longer work a register starting in about a week or so. Yippie!)

Ugh. I find it annoying that she got the stupid return.

She got rewarded for infantile behavior.

^-.-^

That's like saying you're a graphic designer and the software you use is Corel draw. Or saying you're a photo editor and you use photoshop.

""I'm a media consultant!..."


Yeah, and my asshole's a wind instrument and a fart's a whole note.

SCs get rewarded, the rest of us have to live with the lame rules spineless managers create to deal with SCs.

A media consultant? Well, so am I, lady! Observe:

Mum: Hey, Honey, have you seen this movie?
RW: Yeah. It was pretty good, I was gonna pick up a copy.
Mum: Good, ya think your Dad will like it?
RW: It's a funny, so I don't see why not.
Mum: Okay, I'll take it.



Ta-DA~! Yes I'm aware of what a total spaz I am. Why do you ask?

"Lady, if I have to hear about your "inconvenience" one more time for something you should not get in the 1st place (refund), I will not give you your refund and you can "blow it out your ass".

So much fail on so many levels.

If she's a media consultant, am I an assistant chef?

[allniter]

What kind of idiot manager loses their spine over an excuse like that. Hope you enjoy the new position and never return to where you were.

Makes me think that the more important the SC says their job is the less important it really is, like all those people who claim that they or family members are lawyers when they're really accountants or garbage men or something. Or if they are lawyers they are extremely insignificant like Lionel Hutz or something.

I don't know who these people think they're impressing, it must be themselves becuase I know I'm not impressed (or anyone on this board).

Since when does being a marketing agent or public relations executive, hired by businesses or political candidates to obtain positive press coverage. (as that is what a media consultant is) immediateley grant you instant and irrefutable knowledge on the technical specifications of a TV

[BookstoreEscapee]

If she's a media consultant, am I an assitant chef?

Sure, why not? You should put that on your name tag.

Actually, "sous chef" sounds even better

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

Your manager approved the return that long after the return period was up? He/she/it sucks.

I was watching the People's Court last year, and although not the same situation, something like this came up.

A woman, who worked as a media consultant, rented a house out for a week during the summer.

Her friend told her that there was a tv. There wasn't. The contract nor ad never said there was a tv.

She sued for a refund.

Even though the neighbor, who had a great big tv with satellite, was and has been willing to let his temporary neighbors watch it.

She didn't take him up on it.

The judge threw the lawsuit out.

Sweet, congrats! I just got promoted out of a call center to a marketing job, so I know well the relief, the joy, the excitement...the no more dealing with customers euphoria.... Congrats again!
