Customers? Not Always Right [Thursday, May 30, 2013]

[professor-lyman.livejournal.com]

Today the Danger Shop was set up like a travel agency, complete with brochures for various cruises, computers for booking flights, and more poster of Disney than should be considered legal.

"Welcome to the summer travel season," Josh said, handing out button-up shirts with new nametags on them. "Today you will be assisting people plan their dream vacations or dealing with the fallout when their dream vacation has just lost their luggage."

Or when they have missed their flight on Air Force One and are now stuck in Indiana for all time. Not that Josh had ever experienced that. Cough.

"Find a spot to sit and practice your perkiest phone voices, people!" Josh said before turning the simulator on.

Perkily!

Face the customers!

The phones will ring, people will wander in looking for brochures and ideas...there's a special on going to Mongolia if you can get anyone to bite...

Or you could hide in the breakroom and drink coffee.

Talk to Josh!

He might even let you get a word in edgewise!

Last night was really, really long, so apologies in advance if I'm not all that with it today.

Jackson is so sad to be missing this because he's still at home dealing with his changed life situation. So sad.

Sia didn't do perky, but she could do pleasant just fine. Of course she had no idea half the places on this planet even existed, so she'd be taking a moment to try and familiarize herself with all that.

Phone call for you, Sia!

Re: Face the customers!

[notconflicted]

Did Sia know the name for this place? No, so she picked up and answered, "Travel agency."

"I am in Bangor, Maine," the voice informed her tightly. "Could you explain why my bags are in Bangladesh?!"

Re: Face the customers!

[notconflicted]

"I'm afraid that's a question for either Portalocity or the airline, whichever last had your bags," Sia said. "I can get you their number to call them."

Re: Face the customers!

"Oh no," the customer snapped. "I paid your company a lot of money for a perfect vacation. This is not perfect! You call them!"

Re: Face the customers!

[notconflicted]

"I'm sorry, but I can't do that." Yes, she was just going to keep it simple.

Re: Face the customers!

There was angry sputtering on the other end of the line. "WHY NOT?!"

Re: Face the customers!

[notconflicted]

"For the reason I just told you. What I can do is give you the number so you can speak to them directly, get the information faster, and not have to deal with a middleman that will probably only frustrate you further," Sia said.

Mercy was hungover. Really hungover. And as this was a first for her, she really wasn't quite sure what to do besides wish for death. Which she was. fervently.
