Kid's probably been divorced 3 times by now and has never been able to hold down a job, but mommy & daddy told her those aren't her fault either.

A few years back I stopped at a Mcdonalds and while I was eating, the manager was conducting an job interview a few tables away. I could hear everything. A young woman, probably around 19 0r 20 was being interviewed with her father sitting next to her. The father was answering all the managers questions while the girl just sat there. The manager hired her but at the end of the interview as they were all shaking hands, the father said," Now she lives with her kids in her apartment, but Ill be driving her here. So if she is late for work, its my fault not hers"

I was floored. This girl wasn't "challenged" in anyway I could tell. And when she DID speak she barely spoke up. So the impression I got was here was this young woman, living on her own with more than one kid ( cause the father said "kids" ) she couldnt drive and before she had even started her first shift the father was starting to shift any blame for her being late from her to him.

And, back on topic, people do need to be held responsible for their actions.

and that brings us back to Geoff's dilemma, some people are going to order juice and not like it, then demand a refund. Others are not going to get desired results due to clogged attys, low batteries and a hundred other device related issues.

So how does a supplier, like Tasty Vapor, maintain good customer relations, while protecting itself from the people who blame the juice instead of looking at their own maintainance habits?

For example, yesterday was the first time I tried to REALLY clean my attys with alcohol. I had three attys that just weren't producing very well. I had originally chalked it up to normal wear and tear, but decided that id give this a try to see who theyd perform after a good soak. I have only tried two of the three so far and both of those are performing like new again. I saw a thread last week saying that TV tobacco juice was clogging someones atomizers, and while the juice may be thick, my shake test of new juice shows TV juice allows the bubbles to rise much faster than another vendor I get juice from. So TV juice isnt as think as that juice even though they have the same advertised pg/vg ratio...so theres alot more to it than just that ratio. Also, I find that when I "finish a cart" and I pull my filler, the filler is clearer and dryer when using TV juice than other brands. In other words, I can actually vaoe my cart dry on TV juice where I cant on other juices. I dont know the proper vocabulary for that but Im gonna guess its wicking better?

I dont know why people feel the need to let Geoff's employees "have it" but folks really need to understand that supplying juice from across the country isnt the same as getting a burger at McDonalds.

The customer is NOT always right.

I'm a lawyer in private practice. On occasion, I've had clients being rude to my legal assistant for some reason. In those cases, I let the client know, in no uncertain terms, that if it happens again, they can find a new lawyer. So far, that's always cured the problem.

I have a thick skin, so I don't mind if they vent at me. But my employees don't need that crap.

You're also the one calculating how many hours you spent on their case. (Not saying you'd cheat them but it's only human nature to have rounding work for the people we like and against those we don't. :D )

bornagainst, your avatar looks so... normal. I don't think I'll be able to get used to that.

Good grief...I just don't undstandt people. Tasty Vapor goes above and beyond in the arena of customer service. You sell a product and if you don't carry something someone wants, its up to them to just find it elsewhere instead of giving you guys a hard time. Its one thing to make a request, but once the "no" is conveyed, that should be the end to it. I have never once had anything other than professional service and great customer service from you or your staff. Thank you and shame on those who abuse that.

I guess some people think it's a cute idea to get on the phone, or Live Help and be downright nasty with our folks here because we don't sell a flavor you like (RY4), call our employees names, etc. Or just feel that because we offer customer service that this is a free arena to just be abusive.

We're here to help people and we don't believe for a second that it's conducive to help to be a punching bag for people with a stick in their derriere.

Our banning features have been programmed and put in place.

We're not casual about the idea of banning people. But we will consider banning people who are blatantly and unnecessarily abusive, disruptive to our operation, etc.

I kind of dreaded the day to feel like I'd have to pay my programmer to do something like employ a banning feature, but as we grow, this is always an open door for scam artists and scheisters to wander in and try to get away with their antics. And so we have to take action.

You should hire me. I'll take care of those chodes for you for free. :D

Well, i called about a week ago and tried to make an order over the phone because my shop computer was acting funny. Rather than taking my order, she said "You've never made an online purchase before?" Then i was put on hold, and hung up on shortly after. That was rude and uncalled for Tasty Vapor. Still, i went home and placed the order anyway.

She seemed overwhelmed... As a small business owner myself, i understand. No big deal.

*For the record, i am NOT the person MR. Tasty Vapor is referring to.

I'm sure she didn't hang up the phone on purpose. On occasion, I've accidently hung up on people on hold.
