"How can I help you today?"

"The text on my 17 inch LCD is really grainy!"

"What resolution are you running at?"

"1024x768."

"There's your problem, the monitor's native resolution is 1280x1024. Let's switch it..."

doo doo doo doo doo doo (Think Wayne and Garth.)

"Hey, the text is much clearer now! But now it's too smallllllll....."

There is still no "kill" button on my phone. This is justice?

Maybe I can relate to the stupid people (because I am one of them), but that didn't seem too unreasonable.

LCD's have a 'native resolution'--a resolution they were designed for (for 17", it's generally 1280x1024). To display other resolutions, they have to do some funky tricks to display things correctly, and as such, things tend to look like grainy ass when not running in the native resolution.

Some people (blind people) can't read text very well at higher resolutions though.

What type of text was the customer complaining about? If it's in IE, she can hold cntrl and use the mousewheel to increase/decrease the main text size.

For everything else, tough shit.

Give them a glass of lemonade on a hot sunny day and they'll complain about the shape of the glass.

The only time I've ever been unhappy with customer service was when my DaoC account subscription ran out and they wouldn't renew it because I didn't have some secret password or something.

If there's one thing I learned from working customer service, it's that God hates me.
Once more into the breach, my friends, once more. We'll close the wall with our dead. In peace, nothing so becomes a man as modesty and humility, but when the blast of war blows in our ears, then imitate the action of the tiger, summon up the blood, disguise fair nature with rage and lend the eye a terrible aspect.

I shall now take the fence-straddling position.

On the one hand, you really do complain about your job...a lot, I mean.

But on the other, I respect your right to rant and vent every now and again.

So, in conclusion, what I'm trying to get at is: What's for dinner?

Nope I am not your supervisor be glad thats the case. when you posted your gripe that was a invatation for commentary. from the mannor you vented it sounded like you didnt do your job as well as you could have. Im sure in every other respect you are the best CSR they have. People all have their bad days and their frustrations.

so did the customer end the call feeling satisfied?

For the record, I'm very good at my job, I nicely assisted the customer with the IE font settings and stuff, and she was satisfied. I rant here because I can't rant at the customer.

When you buy a Sony product and get me on the line for technical support, THEN you can comment on how I do my job.

Back when I was a phone sex salesman, my customers all left very satisfied.

Except for that time that Somthor called in. Turns out my voice wasn't deep enough for him.

as i said i thought you were, most people here seem to be very good at what they do. my whole commentary could have been advoided if you had tacked the above to your rant.

I love Sony products btw

Parcelan, thats becuse i told you husky like Kathern Turner and you gave me squeaky castarti sounding Kate Bush. the constant suggestions on how i could make it better for you when it was my 900 call didnt help the mood either

You're the idiot. He didn't lie, he just didn't remember it properly. Nice argument though, even though, you know, it's baseless.

I doubt Somthor's claims at times as well, but atleast try and make some sense before you go shit flinging.
