I tell you what, being in this new position, I'm finding out how freakin' stupid customers are. I firmly believe they think we squat and shit their stuff out. I'm sure all of you can relate to this post but damn, people are really pissing me off. Each customer thinks they are your only customer.

Change of subject here, has anybody else noticed we only have 9 more to join PPF to make it 3000, who's keeping an eye on the pool?

Yep, I am always getting calls from clients asking if I got "the Email" or how "That job" is coming along, then they start rattling off details and questions about pricing, shipping, availability etc.. WTF I don't deal with that shit, just the art dood!

Unfortunately I have to act like I care and "help" the idiots out..unfortunately this kind of thing always seems to occur when I can least afford the time.

Asshats....... :roll:

Wow, I still have 2 customers still working on their 2006 calendars. But since I moved to Florida I have realized that slacking is a way of life. SIGH

If you don't make the customer feel like they're number one, someone else will.

I don't give a toss about any of my suppliers other customers. I'm just interested in my jobs.

You're going to have to learn that one quickly Peon.

Customer is King - end of story.

True, customer is king, but when they think they are all kings, which one gets to be God? By the way Bart, I've known this for a long time now, I don't have to "learn" anything, I just wanted to vent, hence "Rants/ Raves/Vents" category. I sure hope you have better advice in other situations in life because this advice was pretty lame, at best. The customer with a $20 order is just as important as the customer with the $20,000 order, because you never know, the $20 order might just turn in to a $50,000 order some day.

Don't start giving me shit because I said what needed to be said!

Christ, re-read your original post and tell me how, from reading that, I could assertain that you know how the land lies when it comes to customer care.

It's only your first week in the hot seat so I'm going to forgive you. Only this once mind. Now go away!
