  • Wait Until Your Corporate Gets A Load of Me

    So it's been awhile, I transferred to a new branch... I knew the goodness wouldn't last forever.

    I dealt with this customer yesterday, he first accused me of raising the rate on his foreign currency exchange so that either me, or the bank was able to skim some money off of him...

    I just let that slide off my back, whatever, it isn't the first time I've been accused of stealing money from a customer. (They always think their overdraft fees go into my pocket, if it did, I would have a nicer car and a big house instead of some hole in the wall apartment.) So, when all was said and done, he went from being a meanie to a gentleman in a second flat.

    Today, within five minutes of walking in the door, I get this call:

    SC: This is John Smith, we purchased the foreign currency off of you yesterday... I just wanted to give you a courtesy call that I'm calling your corporate office on you! I want you to know, I don't think you know at all what you're doing and you need more training.
    Me: I remember sir, I did everything exactly as asked.
    SC: Well, you couldn't tell me how you guys were raising the exchange rates to get more money off of me...
    Me: Sir, as I told you yesterday, we don't do that. I apologize if you don't agree with the way I handled your serv...
    SC: I'm not done! I then told you I didn't want you to deposit the checks and do the withdrawal! (Liar, liar, pants on fire... I told you what I was doing and you never argued the fact.) And now I have to put it in my computer system that these transactions were done! I just wanted them cashed to pay for it! (Gee, that takes about two seconds.) You're assistant manager and I don't think you know what you're doing! I don't know how long you've been with the company but I think you need more training!
    Me: I'm sorry you feel that way... But if there is anything I can do to rectify the situation, feel free to let me know. Again, I did everything the way you asked me to.
    SC: Well, like I said, this was a courtesy call to let you know I'm calling your bosses... Wait til they get a load of me. (Holy shit, I'm on the phone with The Joker.) *click*

    So, now I just sit and wait for the complaint email to come through... Though, the way this guy is, our customer service line may just blow him off since technically there is no actual account issue. This guy just has a personal problem with me for some reason... Or he's crazy.

    At least it's Friday, right... RIGHT?!!

    As I'm sure you do, just document the living sh*t out of his account.

      I agree with Barista Trav on the documentation. Though most SC's give idle threats on calling corporate to lodge a complaint, who is to say if this guy means it or not. Either way, document the hell outta his account!

        1) Woo Fridays!
        2) It sounds like he just wants to cause problems, what with the 'I'm telling on you' schtick.

            the tread title reminds me of the lady who was upset about a price today. As she was walking out she yelled "my friend would eat this place alive!!!!"

                    Update: They did call my regional office and got hold of my regional manager. She asked my manager and I gave him a quick explanation over the phone. (This was Friday afternoon, btw.)

                    He said he would talk to me on Monday (today) but he has yet to even bring it up... I think he just doesn't care because he witnessed this guy's attitude on Thursday when I first dealt with him.

                    The guy told my regional that he has Alzheimer's... Could explain why he was acting a little bi-polar.

                        I don't know. That's just the way I remember my grandfather being when he had it... Maybe it was just the way he was with it.

                        But either way, the guy did end up getting money put in his account to "cover his troubles."

                        My manager is claiming if we didn't the guy was going to keep climbing up the corporate ladder further. Needless to say, I wasn't too thrilled that the guy got his way since he tried to kind of accuse me of stealing money from him by "raising the rate of the international currency exchange so I would end up with the difference in my pocket."

                        Oh well, thems the ropes I guess.
