[QUOTE="Yancey_Slide, post: 2335712, member: 33285"] [color=#cccccc]Wow! I have to say that I'm amazed by the tolerance of bad customer service here. I read the responses and could only think that this is a person that really could care less what his buying customer thinks of his business and in reality was quite flippant about the entire exchange. I also saw someone that had an overt desire to be "right" with a customer and no matter how right you, it's a losing battle to pick a fight with your customer. I’m not saying that customers are always right, but you don’t go about telling them so blatantly. It just makes for bad business.[/color] [color=#cccccc] [/color] [color=#cccccc]I’ve been running customer service operations for large companies for many years and I can tell you that I wouldn’t for a moment stand for that kind of response to any sort of customer from anyone on my staff.
