Well a lot of people recommended me a lot of jobs for when I made a thread asking about good employment. Recently I got a Girl-friend and have spent a lot of time on the phone, thus increasing my skills 10 fold from the old 'yeah, yeah please hang up now', attitude I had.

So I decided to try a job at telemarketing as I looked around for jobs, unfortunately both Coles a Pet store and the Telemarketing place are willing to look at me. I decided in the end to first try the phone place as it is for the Child charity Make a Wish which would be a lot better then serving customers without a soul for some large company.

Anyway I would like to create this thread saying don't be jerks to a kid phoning you up calling himself Matthew Boevink... But the main reason I started this is I wanted to know about other people who have a job where people tell you to gtfo most of the time...

Yeh Im in my teens and work at a sports retail store.
One customer asked for a certain item and I said oh we have sold out on that maybe 1-2 months.
He got so angry he started swearing at me.
And my bosses didnt do anything.
So decided to turn away and serve other customers and then he got majorly angry.
But I didnt care.
People that treat us bad dont deserve to be served seriously.

I'm all for charity, but if it's anyone telling me to spend money over the phone, I usually hang-up straight away.

why would you tell someone your last name in a cold call? that is just asking for trouble. i used to do tech support and they only got my first name. if they wanted to put in a complaint about me (happens from time to time when working in IT support) there was no way in hell i would tell them my last name. People have been threatened and there are some people out there who do make good on their threats. i remember one of our sister stores got a cinder block thrown through the shop window.

because I like being personal plus it's all logged on a time keeper so I could say I'm the 4chan pedo bear and they'll still get me .

lol this is mydaily life... i work for an isp in the disconnections queue at a call centre.... all i get is every customer that had had something go wrong... ughh... what makes it worse is that when the customer wants to make a complaint the consultant will transfer them to us like a complaints area - idiots. Anyway you can immagine the crap i have to deal with.

Easy. Just don't care. If they tell you "GTFO" you say "That's cool, I at least get paid to piss artards like you off. Betcha wish you were me now, eh?"

Then **** on his lawn.

Erm, well I'm a bartender so u get sht for not serving people drinks when they've CLEARLY had too much to drink. Oh, not to mention regulars who just don't stop asking for free stuff. But yeah, most the time u get OK customers, it's just the rare idiots that screw up the whole night, or when the food comes out late then customers get nasty.

money means more to my bosses than staff. customers can be rude, abusive & irrational. it doesn't matter coz they spend so much. one customer rang to order. our policy is to get orders faxed (in writing). he said no. i asked why. he said coz he wants to be a d ick. i asked why would he say that. he said coz he can! he said he'll start counting down from 10 & if i don't take the order over the phone by 1 he's hanging up. he hung up. i later got a call from my boss asking why i'm upsetting customers! we're door mats! by bosses are pencil d icks!
