One of my nicer qualities is that I’m pretty nice to people working at whatever store/restaurant or whatever I’m at. I go out of my way not to be one of those troublesome customers. If a waitress brings me the wrong food, that’s ok, no biggy – it’s just food. If the customer service is so overloaded they can barely think straight, that’s ok, I’ll call back later. I’m a very Mr Nice. But now I have to ask – just how damn stupid do you have to be to work at a customer service joint? Seriously, is it like “people who can’t get any real jobs” that they place there or what? I’ve always wondered that because I’m surprised at just how stupid they are sometimes. Like the most hilarious “is guatemala a real country?”-girlS (plural!) I got when calling the three biggest mobile phone operators in sweden to check for coverage in Guatemala. But now Turkish Airlines really hit the jackpot of stupidity – when I was recently in Turkey they lost my luggage. And I’m all like “ok, that happens, no biggy I’ll just have to wear these clothes an extra day”. And no clothes day after that, no problem, I’ll just go out and buy the necessities and send them the bill. And now, four weeks later, I got a letter from Turkish Airlines telling me that… well, I wish I knew BECAUSE IT’S ALL IN TURKISH!. Seriously, I made it clear that I was swedish, I was there temporarily and it should be handled by their swedish office, but oh no. I just hope someone at their swedish office can understand it. It’s not a lot of money we’re talking about, like $60, but now it’s just the principal of “how stupid can you get!?”.
