Do they have the employees try it first so they can say it is good?

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Probably. But...if they try it and don't like it and tell customers it's good...then would be kinda lying, don't you think?

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

They would be salespeople. Many times salespeople must sell things they do not believe in. And if they can convince you that they really liked them, then they are great actors.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

That's all true.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Certainly you have been faced with such a dilemna. Even though your job is mostly repair, you have to convince people not to turn back in products you may not think work well.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Not as much. I tend to let people know which models work better than others.

I do admit, if someone wants to return something because it's not working right, I will try to convince them I can fix it so they won't have to return it.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

That is a good thing. You sell more things if you believe in the product. A lot of customers sense when you do not believe in the product.

Still, it must be hard to do it when you know it is the same kind of repair for the same product, so that it is an obvious flaw in the product.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

That's why I'm a bit more honest with customers. Cuz they'll ask, "Hey I'm looking for a nice digital camera. Is the such-and-such model any good?" And with them I'm honest whether it is or not.

Oh yeah. Certain products have a flaw that's basically shows up nearly all the time for customers. One guy tried to return a flawed product without a receipt and store policy is we can't except opened packages without one. So he was giving Casey a hard time and...well, let's just say Casey almost decked the guy one.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

I think that is the best way to be. Even if they spend less, they will ultimately be happier and more likely to shop at your store.

Yes, I can see Casey having little patience with such a person.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Exactly. And return customers are good for business.

I kinda thought so.

[johncasey.livejournal.com]

Well, he did deserve it.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

And they will tell their friends.

Did you see it happen? Did he do the scary face?

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Yup.

He was glaring at the guy and started to make a fist. I stood in front of Casey and quickly offered to fix the guy's camera. The guy accepted the offer and headed over to the Nerd Herd desk.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

A fist? Not good. It was good that you managed to distract the man so he would not suffer such a fate.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Yeah...the guy would have been out cold...

And probably when he woke up he would have sued the store or something...

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, which would not be good for any of you.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Uh, no. Definitely not.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Is it true that people sue for stupid things like the coffee being hot?

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Yeah, somebody did that and then they had to put the label on the coffee. Real stupid.

But there was another law suit over hot coffee that kinda made sense. Cuz something like there was this worker at a McDonald's that threw a hot coffee at a lady when the lady said she got the wrong food or something. And the lady got burnt all over. I dunno if the lady was being rude. I kinda forgot. But still...

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

That person should be in jail. That is assault, is it not? She should also be forced to pay all her medical bills.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

I think that's what the judge ended up ruling. I'd have to look it up though.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

If I was that angry at a customer, I would get my supervisor to talk to them. I would be worried about saying or doing something I would regret.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

That's the right thing to do, I think.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

*Hiro nods.* That is part of the reason they are the supervisor. They handle the difficult people.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Yeah, very true.
