Now I want you to all remember how you feel about those customers who are idiots... Now think of the fact thats its my job IRL to deal with the same kind of mentality in an electronics sales store.


Customer: Is this the best cell phonew you have?

Me: No, I like to sell the crappy ones, lock you into as 2 year contract and overcharge you. then youll come back and buy so much more and tell all your friends how great I am......

I used to be a lab assistant at a college computer lab. We got all kinds of good ones there too. My favorite is when people use the CD-ROM tray as a cup holder.

Well, I just got done with some online training for my job that basically said "The customer is NOT always right. And any business that adopts this attitude is doomed." Right on! So not all places believe that stupid rule.

"This rule" meaning "the customer is always right," or "the customer is NOT always right"?

Had this one a couple of times,despite being only 0-1-1-0 weaponsmith:


random guy: Hi

me: Hello there

guy: how far are u in weaponsmith?

me: only 0-1-1-0

guy: I was wondering,canu make C12's? (oh dear,he wants grenades)

me (about to attend to a guild activity): yes,I can

guy: Good,what's the damage on them?

me : a min please,have to make one (quickly makes one with the best rescources i can find)

me; expect something between 150-450 dam

guy: dude,i need 650+ (should have stopped here)

me: you would need C22's for that,or at least a good weaponsmith.

guy: oh...i'm not a commando,so i can't use C22 dude

(thinking he would stop bothering me now)

guy: where r u?

me: in my shop,close to Bestine

guy: can u meet me in the cantina?

me: sure,but why? you can't use the grenades i make,and the C12's are too bad (I doubt you can use ANY grenade if you're not commando,but oh,well)

guy: dude,i want a sample of those grenades to test em out

me: ...you can't use them

guy: just come dude

me: ...

guy: u coming?

me: bye,/addignore,goes to guild activity


Must add I altready had a few annoying customers and I had little patience with another wanna use grenades for FS grind guy

I THINK IVE FIGURED OUT THE MORAL OF THIS THREAD:

"Dont ask a weaponsmith stupid questions. Dont ask a weaponsmith reasonable questions. In fact, dont ask a weaponsmith anything. Dont talk to them. Dont even look at them. If you come across one, try to blend in with the surroundings so they dont notice you. If one does notice you, assume the duck-and-cover position and hope that they leave. In the extreme case that you accidentally /emote while tageting a weaponsmith, QUICKLY SWALLOW your "In-Case-of-Weaponsmith" Emergency Suicide Pill. When you drop dead, try not to fall in the weaponsmith's path"

Did I get it right?
