Post Your Pics Part XV: Volume IV: No Fat Chicks VI:Teh Database

Honestly, our company is pretty much 100% about making the customer happy.

I was just promoted and while talking to my Manager about what to do in situations he said to always make the customer happy. Basically, if I lose the company $1,000 with one decision but the customer leaves happy I will never lose my job over it. But if I ever do something the wrong way that results in a customer leaving angry I can kiss my job good bye.

You only hear bad stories because no one cares enough to tell you about their good experiences.

When your insurance doesn't pay up for a car crash, you threaten to sue, freak out online and bring it up to the paper. When they do pay, you just get a new car and move on. No one ever hears about the good things.

I'm only angry when there aren't any good customers around. If you need a router or want to build a system I'd be more than happy to help you. You know why? Because you're making me money. I'll admit that I'm a pretty selfish person when it comes to work, but I dont walk around the store with a scowl on my face. That was a particularly bad Monday.

I'll help you with what you need reguardless of whether it pays me any comission or not, but it is fairly obvious that I'll go that little extra if I'm going to get something out of it. Same for any sales person in any situation.

But the short asian guys who come in with REEKING BREATH asking for the $10 Airlink 54g wireless router in broken english (and then complain that it still costs too much) do not make my day go well.

I just don't understand why people pay money for utter trash.

"A $15 motherboard? A $5 usb wireless adapter? ARE YOU SHITTING ME? ILL TAKE IT!"

It is cheap for a reason: its a throw away, trash product that will last you 3 months.

But other than that I enjoy my job. The pay is good (except for that crap week), I get to hang out with my friends all day, and I actually do like helping people.
