customers can be a real pain. Ever worked retail?

"the sign says this orange juice is 99 cents"
"No, the sign says the small carton of milk under the OJ is 99 cents"

Last time i checked, milk and orange juice were spelled differently.

but this is a totally different circumstance

gaz8- from you post i'm sure you've never worked a day at a hobby shop.

" we'll Tower Hobbies has it for $5 less" My response was OK pay the $10 for shipping and wait a week or you can get it tommorow from them IF YOU PAY $40 shiping.

"this nitro engine is defective it doesn't run" did you read the instructions "yes" well why is the needel CLOSED?? " what needel" yeah you read the instructions "well it never worked" so how is the glow plug burned out and the piston and sleave burned out???

gaz8 do this 5-15 times a day 6 days a week and tell me that SOME customers can't be a pain

gaz8

i see your point
but isnt that what 95 percent of jobs are like,you just seem to do the samething over and over all day, lol.
sorry if it seems like im being picky but i thought this was about after sales service not initial sales??

also remember that a question is only a hard question when you dont know the answer..........and if you know the answer the question was so easy!!

i used to work in a large plant company where the manager would laugh at questions customers put forward to him.this was because he was up his own ass,and ownly saw his side of the fence.(no pun intended)
he lost the company lots of customers and this in the end lost him his job!!
when he got the sack many exsisting customers came back and the company is eventually making things right again.

thanks for the responces gaz8 and raving-monkey.


gaz , so are you saying i should get the 3 racing hinge pins or the ae ones. i have the rpm ball cups and a wide nitro tc3 setup as the bumper with the rpm plastic thingy on the bottom. i would like to get the p dub bumper to bullet proof my ride tho.

i have the irs alum diffs for a tc3 but they are shot i was gonna try to get the speedway pal ones but ill probably end up gettting the lightened steel ones thanks again guys


P.S. has anybody tried those aluminum rear hubs by square or 3racing (not sure witch one makes them) and are they any good, are they lighter?

Exactly. I find it hard to think if I'm yelling and swearing at some customer service guy theya re going to be nice to me!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah right they are going to treat meet like the ass I was at that time.

the hardensteel ones are stronger.and much heavier than the 3 racing ones,the 3 racing ones are lighter by a full gram each.but will bend much easier in the event of a big smash i guess this doesnt matter though if you order them from hong kong as there cheap as chips so just order an extra paxket or two. if you choose them to save weight this way

my customers are always wrong! Oh...do I have stories.

This is getting interesting.
I know it's not TC4, but it's worth the discussion.

I have been in business 40 years and in the model trade over 10 years. Because I am a keen racer I bend over backward to accomodate people. The problem is that they then take advantage, expect you to stop what you're doing and attend to them, leave your race car when your race is next, just so that you can give them a pair of wishbones or something there and then. And they'll complain if you don't have the bit they want in your tool box on Sunday!

I could write pages, but I won't, because at the end of the day, whatever you say, the customer is always right, and we are always wrong!

Ive been in the customer service biz for 16 years ,and if there is one thing Ive learned, you CAN NOT please everyone. Also you need to be treated with respect to give respect back.
