I escaped the office this afternoon to attend some customer service course. Here are some of the things I learnt…

  • DO smile at the customers – but not in a seedy way, especially at the young women.
  • DO try to help customers – but NOT if your customer is trying to kill other customers.
  • DON’T tell customers to “fuck off” – even if they are c***s.
  • DON’T throw glasses of water onto the customers – unless they’re on fire.
  • The customer is ALWAYS right – except when they’re wrong.

Some of these may not be totally true; I think I fell asleep at one point during the course, so don’t fully remember everything. Overall the afternoon was a total let down; mainly because they didn’t give out any free cake. Rule No.1 for any lecturer – if you want respect from your students, feed them cake.

  • About Me

    So you stumbled across my blog. No doubt after searching for something bizarre on Google. Before you hit that 'Back Button', why not stay and have a read for a few minutes?

    If you are after a website which gives advice on how to hack an iPhone X, download the latest Steven Seagal movie, or view nudy ladies, you've come to the wrong place and may now press 'Back'.

    However, if you would like a lifestyle blog, written by a 30-something chap, living in Bath (England), feast your eyes on this.

    You won't discover how to copy PlayStation 4 games. What you will find is a blog, covering life in the West Country, the highs and lows of supporting two unsuccessful football teams, while sharing a house with a wife and rabbit.

    All written by a man, somewhere on the sanity-scale between normal and eccentric.
