My dad got a piece of mail about Google Tags, and I had some questions. The brochure they sent had a phone number, so I decided to call. The first thing I wanted to know was if the businesses at his outlet mall could somehow share a tag, since they’re all at the same address.
She spent about 45 seconds telling me why this couldn’t possibly happen. I listened to her whole spiel, then in what I thought was a friendly tone, said “Thanks, that answers my question.” I had a few other questions I was going to ask, but she responded to this by sarcastically saying “ooooooooKAY!” and proceeded to hang up on me.
I should probably be offended, but I found it hilarious. It’s one thing to be rude to angry or otherwise difficult customers, but someone who’s genuinely interested in purchasing your product? That’s a sales tactic I had never considered.
