I Can't Believe They're Still Trying
I got a call today from none other than the American Express company.
Apparently one of our customers told them to contact us and see if we could be set up to accept AmEx.
Yup. AssClown Company strikes again.
I politely told the AmEx rep that our boss has made it quite plain that we are *never* going take their card.
She did ask why and I explained that it went back to the way he felt the AmEx company treated him a number of years ago and, unfortunately, there really is nothing that could be done to salvage it now.
[Aside: Unlike a lot of folks, when my boss says he's never doing business with someone again, he actually means it. So I'm not going to play games and waste the rep's time by pretending they have a chance with us.]
The rep said she was sorry to hear that. I thanked her for her time and we both wished each other good weekends.
But needless to say, I'm not going to be shocked to find out that AssClown Company has won another bid listing our product by name and we go another round where they try to dictate the terms of doing business with us by acting like schoolyard bullies.
And Mark's away at a trade show, so I can't send them packing until I've heard back from him. [sigh]
