So ok here is the quick version of the story.

I have been with O2 for like 6 years and the service you get from them is brill.

There will be some folk who disagree, these people are probably on the Joe cole and are angry that there account got stopped when they didn't pay it.

So today I went into a O2 shop and asked the smoking hot lady what my options are when I come to upgrade. She was all happy that as a platinum customer I can basically get any phone I like.

She even took the time to tell a chav to shut up when he was trying to push in to the queue.

Feeling happy I left the shop and decided to have look in phone 4 poo as they did have a new shiny in their window.

Feeling brave that all the horrible sales people looked busy I entered, which is brave to do but I did it anyway.

Sliding my way up to the new shiny phone I started reading the features

Tea making facilities
5000 mega pixel camera
Apps that make apps
Holo projector screen
And the the emergency sleeping bag compartment

While looking though one of the sales rats had became available. The wall of chinese fresh uni students who need a way to call home had infact vanished

Dammit

The salesman however having missed " don't *swear warning* me off school " had his own fresh tactic.

Stand away from me to my rear. Then loudly say " are you aright there"

Me still looking at the shiny thing, wondering if it really could change a car tyre. Thought he was talking to some body else. Carried on looking

"I said are you alright there"

Fu ck it must be me he was talking to, maybe if I ignore him he will see a butterfly and try to sell it some air time.

Now normally if your a salesman. Take this time to go away. I aint here for a chat. Leave me be with shiny.

"HELLO" oh no you didn't

So I look over my shoulder at a angle that is now uncomfortable.

"I was till you appeared" was the polite answer I came up with.

(really he should have gave up)

" well I don't like being ignored" said the salesman very smug

" then don't try and talk to me like I am your naughty puppy" by now all argument and answers in my my mind would follow with the words you are a tosser.

Which I might have been able to control if the answer from his mouth hadn't been

" well I don t like being ignored in my own store, now please leave"

Oh dear. And oh no you didn't just try and end this convo by answering that phone.

So he now has a problem, the customer on the phone and all his sales team who are trying to get people to sign contracts in the store, have now got a 6'2 angry male swearing at the store manager. Who is fuming because some of the hard core words are making him blush.

Anywho. Even if I was allowed I would not go back.

I will never have a nice thing to say about them.


And to the Irish manager who may think his technique works I say this.

" you are a f u c k nugget, just because your job involves selling a product you don't have to be a complete *swear warning* about it.

Learn some manners and how to talk with people.

Let people come in and browse.

I am sure that there is a course you can go on. Or maybe ask your boyfriend to give you more head to bring your excitement levels down . You know maybe even ask Him to be generous and reach around and make sure you finish with him. Its probably not fair that you have to carry his little present around in your but. Specially since you have all your pent up man excitment in your loin

Or if you still feel all christy about having made the top of the ladder in a business that prides it self on filling its adverts with retards. Hey good for you. Guess being top of the window licking pile is the top of some pile.

But I have some other jobs you can try when you get fired from there.


1 traffic warden. Your alrady a cun t so you will fit right in

2 go and run for the bnp. Be head *swear warning*

3 if you have allegies go and work for kp


There are more but hopefully these will do the trick

Anywho please post in here if you have any hate for the manager of Newcastles phone for his boyfriend gives crap head store

And feel free to say just how you feel. To often are unhappy customers not heard and made to feel they are In the wrong.


Thanks

Go Razor....consumer power at it's best. They think they can get away with it because people are usually too embarrassed to pipe up, unless you're a 6'2" angry man!! Let's hope he doesn't think "Mmmm...this airsoft thing looks like fun!"

I once had a spotty. snot nosed youth turn up on my doorstep wearing a British Gas ID card (looked like someone had inserted a digit up his rectum on the photo).

"Mr Waldock...I see you used to be BG customer"

"Not interested pal, I switched years ago"

Goes to shut door

"Are you not interested in saving money then?"

Pregnant pause as I digested his arrogant tone

"Yes, I am, that's why I did my research, dumped your over expensive company with it's useless customer service and went with someone else. NOW GET THE F**K OFF MY PROPERTY BEFORE I THROW YOU OFF!"

Funny thing is, they still ring me once a week to try and get me back...it's a great stress reliever!

I agree with your post Razor.

Reminds me of a guy here in York who works at Games Workshop. (Ok, OK I know its sad I go in there but I don't buy the paints to paint crappy GW figures.)

Every time I go in its a huge "HI!" when i'm trying to concentrate on which colour is more appropriate.


"HI THERE CAN I HELP YOU?"

ignore

"HI, ARE YOU INTERESTED IN THOSE PAINTS?"

"yes, I'm looking for a darkish khaki green colour."

"OH! ARE YOU PAINTING KATAWANGA ALIENS FROM THE PLANET ZOG LED BY THEIR MASTER FINGLEWANKYDOODLE?"

"no .. World War II Russian infantry."

(BLANK EXPRESSION)

"OH .. SO ITS NOT GAMES WORKSHOP THEN?"

"no"

(TAKES NO INTEREST IN ME AT ALL AFTER. INSTEAD HE GLARES AT ME AND KEEPS SAYING TO OTHER CUSTOMERS THAT THE PAINTS ARE SUITED TO PAINTING OFFICIAL GW FIGURES AS OPPOSED TO THESE HEATHEN MANUFACTURERS DECENT FIGURES.)
