For some reason, Frank Nelson's famous character has been in my mind. In honor of this patron saint of the under-appreciated customer service rep, I give you these tidbits of random sayings. Most come from my days at <government agency> but the responses are what Frank is telling me he would say:
SC: Hello? Are you there?
Frank: Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeees?
SC: Are you a real person?
Frank: Me? No. I'm a Speak N' Spell with an attitude.
SC: Why are my rates so high?
Frank: Oh! You have our lowest honor: The Jack Benny Plan. It's because I hate you.
SC: I want to speak to the president?
Frank: Tell you what, why don't you start screaming at a picture of him and I'll laugh at you? You won't know the difference!
SC: I don't think you're trying.
Frank: Of course I am! I'm trying to get you off the phone.
(At a jewelry counter in a department store I used to work at)
SC: Are these the best you have?
Frank: No, I keep the best locked in the earth in far away lands. For safe keeping, you know.
