A LESSON FOR ALL EMPLOYEES WHO WORK WITH RUDE CUSTOMERS!!!

Indeed, an award should go to the Virgin Airlines gate attendant in
Sydney some months ago for being customer-focused, while making her
point, when confronted with a passenger who probably deserved to fly as
cargo.

A crowded Virgin flight was canceled after Virgin's 767s had been
withdrawn from service. A single attendant was re-booking a long line of
inconvenienced travelers. Suddenly an angry passenger pushed his way to
the desk. He slapped his ticket down on the
counter and said, I HAVE to
be on this flight and it HAS to be NOW". The attendant replied, "I'm
sorry sir. I'll be happy to try to help you, But I've got to help these
people first, and I'm sure we'll be able to work something out." The
passenger was unimpressed. He asked loudly, so that the passengers
behind him could hear,

"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I AM?"

Without hesitating, the attendant smiled and grabbed her public address
microphone: "May I have your attention please, may I have your attention
please," she began - her voice heard clearly throughout the terminal.
"We have a passenger here at Gate 14 WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS. If
anyone can help him find his identity, please come to Gate 14." With the
folks behind him in line laughing hysterically, the man glared at the
Virgin attendant, gritted his teeth and said, "F...
You!" Without
flinching, she smiled and said, "I'm sorry, sir, but you'll have to get
in line for that too.

as funny as that is, and it is funny as hell
he seems like the kind of guy who would complain and get her fired

**Thender** · 08-17-2006

Yes! Some people are just born assholes.... I have delt with a few while working with the public for over 22 years.... I need those customers so I can feed my family... I have to kiss their ass to make them happy.... But I always get that one special customer that I can tell to go FUCK OFF!!!! There is no pleasing him/her.... They walk into a business just KNOWING that they are going to get screwed.... You can't please them... If you charge them a penny, it is a penny too much!

Oh well, such is life..........
