    I just got seriously scolded by a lady from New Zealand because the stroller she purchased from our vending kiosks was dirty.

    The stroller was slightly dirty ( some dust and what appears to be white paint stains on the basket at the bottom.)
    And I apologized for that.
    ( Although I sometimes get very weary of apologizing for things that are not my fault. I know that is customer service, but still.)

    The lady did not want the stroller cleaned off and when I tried to give her money back, made that process difficult as well.
    She eventually calmed down but not until she had totally stressed me out over a -gasp- icky stroller.
    This lady only uses organic items ( she told me this as she pulled out her organic hand sanitizer) so I am shocked she even considered using a public stroller to begin with.

    I don't have a problem with clients making their concerns known but please, people, some perspective.
    I can only help people within the confines of my company's policy and as much as the individual will let me.
    And just because I am here to help find solutions, does not make me a sounding board for all peoples' phobias and preferences.

    Ugh! I don't even want my candy bar now.
    Or my blueberries either.

    That sucks Angel. I worked customer service in retail back in the day for 3 years and I remember getting very frustrated. It makes you realize just how many rude, stupid, and thoughtless people there are in this world.

    Stay calm and remember it's just a job. I became an expert at the "in one ear out the other" mentality.

    Usually people do not bother me.

    I am just somewhat stressed about moving this weekend and so am more sensitive today, probably even less desirious to be helpful- which is my bad.

    You should've pegged her in the back of the head with the cady bar.

    And hints are for the taking. And text messages are for answering.

    Amazing what the difference a prayer, a moment's peace, a piece of chocolate and a big bottle of water makes.

    I no longer want to kick anyone in the shins.

    The lady who had been mad left the stroller here.

    Some other family, a nice one, just stopped by to ask about renting a stroller. I showed them the abandoned one and explained why the lady had left it.

    They looked at it and laughed saying it looked fine to them and so I let them have it.

    Today's lady was not all out crazy. She is a regular client whom is normally very nice. She just tends to be a little dramatic- and also to not have sufficient funds immediately available on the card she wants to use.

    Today I had to call for verification on a purchase she was making. The process of talking to the credit card people was a pain, so I understand the lady's frustration.
    However, I was doing all I could as fast as I could.

    I was in the middle of one of many of the conversations I made on her behalf while the lady stood there ranting and raving, demanding to know a play by play of the conversation.

    Without thinking about it, I looker her square in the face and said calmly and not unkindly but firmly: " I need you to stop yelling so I can hear."

    She was flabbergasted and demanded to see my manager. I ignored the request and continued on making the calls I needed to make for her transaction.

    It all worked out in the end and she appreciated my effort.
    After telling her to stop yelling, I did make a concentrated effort to keep her up to date on the progress of each call and to sympathize with her plight.

    It wasn't at all that I didn't want to help the lady ( I actually like her most days) I just needed her to let me do my job.

    Thank God it went through- that's all I have to say.

    I wish I could eat a candy bar or blueberries to calm down, usually I gotta go take a smoke.
