I noticed something whenever I call an American office.

When the person on reception says 'they will transfer you'

If you say thank you they can not help but reply saying You're welcome/have a nice day.

I wonder how long you could keep it going.

Knee-jerk customer service standards. We could teach them a thing or two about curmudgeonly cynicism. :nod:

I am glad to see our EU immigrants have added a new dimension to bad customer service in the UK.

If you call a hotel in London you are often answered by angry sounding eastern European type who says the name and how can i help you so quickly you don't even know if you have called the right place.

Hello mumble mumble mumble mumble mumble you?

Can I speak to the general manager.
He's not here. call back later please.

and that's it.

Going back to the US, It's not all of the US though. If you call the South you get some great people answering the phone.

How can I help you honey. WHERE YOU CALLING FROM AGAIN?

Bet you used to say it to your whores on Adultwork after you'd filled them with your man fat ?

I know! You wouldve thought they'd be good at it, given all the practice they got queuing for bread behind the iron curtain. :sirc:

[Pat Vegas]

I saw people queueing for all sorts behind the Iron Curtain. Your refusal to accept there were any flaws in the post-war socialist utopia doesn't change historical fact :shrug:

Of course there were flaws, there were flaws this side of the iron curtain too. And what's more there are also flaws in the capitalist hegemony now.

This is the thanks I get for trying to keep your end up during nap times, eh? Honestly, some people
