Customer Rant

Right, I have to get this off my chest. RANT!

I had the most pathetic customer on work today (PC World techie)

Firstly he comes up asking about Windows 7, and I go on to say I have been using it since July and think it is ace. All going well.

Then he says he refuses to talk to me unless I can tell him what Windows 7 Home Premium N is. So I sneek a look on the phone and told him its the one with No media player. Then he says its shocking how it can be sold as the same price as W7 HP standard. Then I explain we don't actually sell that, and the idea behind a "N" version is to keep EU happy, the same issues as the Europe version of 7 shipping without IE8.

Next he rants on about our Windows 7 bay layout, how it is not showing the "Family Pack" of W7 PH. I state it *might* not be out as;

a. we don't have it/out of stock

b. is not on the Point of Sale given to us by Microsoft.

He then speels on about how he was a Morrisons manager and that we make our own PoS.

No, Microsoft do, shut up you idiot.

He then gets in a tantrum because we sold our Windows 7 family pack, and he then demands a manager.

So I get him one, and he doesn't believe this person is the manager.

Since we cannot immediately present him with a complete list of every Windows 7 product under the sun he threatens to complain.

He then complains because none of us really know about Windows 7 to the depth he seems to think we should. I mean, it had been out for 19 hours at this point, how can I not know about the versions we will NEVER sell.

He then threatens to take legal action (some how...) and this is where he gets pathetic.

He takes a hissy fit because we won't let him buy some kids software to "test" and return is he doesn't like it. I don't do to Morrisons to "test" food and return if I don't like it, do I?

I don't ask him the ingredients of everything in his shop, then sue him because he can't.

By the end of it, we were having fun though, 4 of us against him. He is getting no where with this arguement. His posture completely changes and he goes defensive, looks rather worried and eventually walks out the shop.

If I saw him outside the shop, I really would have kicked the living day lights out of him. Why did he get so stroppy over such insignificant things?

What a tool.

Hahaha what a sad individual lol, well if thats the only thing he has to worry about in life then he is a lucky man :)
 
Theres only once place for the answers he needs: Google.

It's not your fault if you don't know EVERY single thing about W7
 
Same thing happened to me when a customer went to me wanting an item and I told her it was sold out. Said she'll complain to the Consumer Affairs because she went to other stores that said the same thing
 
How sad. Maybe he was a secret undercover operative from Microsoft testing your knowledge of Windows 7 and making sure that you was properly representing the product. Or maybe as you say he's just a tool...that probably needs to get laid.
 
Just thought it was pathetic, he could have simply asked "do you have 3 user licences, and will this software run of 7?" but no. Sad sad man.
 
haha if he knew much about win7 or pc's he wouldnt be shoppin at pc world :)

yes fair enough you pick up the odd bargain but you wont find me shoppin there!
 
Really enjoyed my day winding pc world staff up :p must get my self a more interesting hobby.

Seriously though, having worked in retail management for a number of years Currys, Dixons and yes even PC World ( with councilling I've recovered though ) you will get idiots like this every day. Why they believe managers know every thing I'm not quite sure, we generally know sod all, that's why we surround ourselves with knowledgable trained competent staff.

Chill out and be thankful that tomorrow a bigger idiot will grace you with his prescense!
