ORIGINAL: scott1964 Norwegians Call Center in Norway (I provide internet support over the phone. I am the only qualified technician working today. I also happen to be female.) Me: “Welcome to [company name] internet support. My name is [name]. How can I help you?” Customer: “Oh, hello sweetheart. I didn’t realize I’d reached the reception. Would you please connect me to internet support?” Me: “This is internet support. What can I do for you?” Customer: “I want help with a technical problem. I can’t talk to you. I want to talk to a man!” Me: “Sir, I can assure you that I’ll be able to help you with your technical problem. I am the qualified technician here today.” Customer: “You are a girl! You have no clue how to help me! This is man stuff. I demand to speak with a man!” (This continues for ten minutes. The customer gets more and more aggravated, and starts yelling nasty comments. I give up, and connect him to my coworker, who sits next to me. My coworker is male.) Coworker: “Welcome to [company name] internet support. My name is [name]. How can I help you?” Customer: “Finally, a man! My internet is so unstable these days; I can’t seem to stay on it! It takes forever to load and the speed is horrible!” Coworker: “Sir, I see the problem, and I’m sending a report. It will be fixed on Monday.” Customer: “What? It’s Saturday! Why do you have to wait until Monday? I want it fixed now!” Coworker: “Well, we would need a qualified technician to log into the system to fix your line. It’s Saturday, so there is only one qualified technician working.” Customer: “Get him to fix it now! I demand to speak with him!” Coworker: “Sir, you have already spoken to her.” Customer: “Wait. Her?” Coworker: “Yes. You spoke to our only qualified technician earlier today. You yelled profanities at her, and demanded to speak to a man.” Customer: “So, I’ll be lucky if my internet is up again on Monday?” Coworker: “You’ll be lucky if you have internet at all.”
