desert_rhino 10087 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 02-22-05, 12:28 PM (EST) "Is it just my dumb luck..." ...or does Target routinely staff their "Service Desk" with the most idiotic partially-house-trained short-bus monkey on their payroll? Today's fun and excitement: (and if anything, I'm toning down the idiocy of this exchange) It: Hello, can I help you? Me: I hope so; I have a $20 service fee for a check that didn't clear, and I'd like to pay it. It: Well, do you have the letter they sent you? Me: No, actually, that was misplaced. Is there any way to look that up? It: No. All the information is right there on the letter, though. Me: I... don't... have... the... letter. Can you give me the number to the credit department, so I can call them and get it cleared up that way? It: I don't think so. {looks through binder with phone numbers in an "I can't read, but I do want to look like I'm trying" manner} No, I think there are just store numbers in here. Me: Okay, do you have a general customer service number that I can call? It: Well, sir, it's all right there on the letter... Me: I. Do Not. Have. The. Letter. All I want is a general customer service phone number so that I can call and find out if there is ANYONE who can tell me how to take care of this without waiting for a second letter from a collection agency. Do you have a customer service phone number I can call? It: That number is right on the letter. Me: Okay, I guess I'll try to look it up online or something. {walks away} It: I'm sorry... It was literally all I could do to keep the "No, you're STUPID" as an under-the-breath mutter, rather than screaming it out loud. It took me about 10 seconds to find it online, thank goodness. Maybe someday I'll tell you my previous exciting encounter with complete idiocy at our lovely Boulder Target.   Top

Your restraint is admirable. Has occasionally rubber checkbook, too. Seems to be a single parent thing.   Top

desert_rhino 10087 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 02-22-05, 12:34 PM (EST) 4. "RE: Is it just my dumb luck..." Said clerk was a she, or else I would probably have been unable to restrain my impulse to take trophies. Best part is, they resubmitted the check and it cleared. So it's only the fee for resubmitting that I'm trying to pay. And yeah, I was covering a few $$$ shortage for the kids on their gamecube. silly me, I should have just written the check for the difference. {sigh}   Top

volsfan 19846 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 02-22-05, 12:33 PM (EST) 2. "RE: Is it just my dumb luck..." I would have asked the person to turn around and bend over so I could look for the letter that is up his/her ass! I once had a message left on my answering machine to call a number about my home mortgage. After calling and talking to three different people they had no clue why they were calling to talk to me. They kept asking me why I was calling them. It was just strange!   Top

I would have asked the person to turn around and bend over so I could look for the letter that is up his/her #####! That makes no sense whatsoever, but is still the funniest thing I've seen in weeks. Thanks for the laugh BF!   Top

dabo 26942 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 02-22-05, 12:34 PM (EST) 3. "RE: Is it just my dumb luck..." No, not dumb luck, they just enjoy doing those things to people when they can. SMILES ARE FREE   Top

J I M B O 6839 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 02-22-05, 12:48 PM (EST) 6. "RE: Is it just my dumb luck..." Not your dumb luck. A friend of ours runs the University of Washington Primate Center, and he tells us stories all the time about Target headhunters lurking about. They were going to sign the Rally Monkey to VP of Customer Service, but the Angels offered more bananas. Gus has too many "anger" issues and didn't pass their preliminary interview process. Can you believe they'd turn anyone away? BTW - I've had similar issues at Target. Not.A.Coincidence.   Top

weltek 16936 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 02-22-05, 04:07 PM (EST) 7. "RE: Is it just my dumb luck..." But, like, they totally look cool when twirling their hair & chomping gum in their cutesy red shirts that show off their oobies. How dumb. If you misplace your receipt, they can look it up with your check number. How can they NOT fing your info on the fee? Cripes. And why does nobody ever say "let me check with my manager" anymore? It's like on training day they are told "Under no circumstances are you to contact the shift manager when you have a question." Handcrafted by RollDdice   Top

ARnutz 13937 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 02-22-05, 04:17 PM (EST) 8. "RE: Is it just my dumb luck..." It's amazing that so many morons have jobs and there are still so many intelligent people looking for work. Sheesh! ... and my kids always wonder why I never ask for help in a store.

desert_rhino 10087 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 02-22-05, 04:56 PM (EST) 10. "RE: Is it just my dumb luck..." LAST EDITED ON 02-22-05 AT 05:08 PM (EST) Yep, found that. Thanks, though. If you could call Boulder and tell them that number, it might save some number of people from early stress-related heart attacks. And you just might save a certain service desk denizen from further evil thought energy. ETAdd: And if anyone asks YOU, the Target Collections Department number is (800) 635-4713. Took all of 3 minutes to clear up once I had the Guest Relations number this morning. I was standing at the service desk longer than that. Strangely, (and the woman asked why I was laughing) they will take a check by phone to clear up a bad check fee.   Top

landruajm 6040 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 02-23-05, 08:17 AM (EST) 15. "In Dweezil's Apparent Absence..." That was you? He's claiming he gave them up for Lent, but I happen to know he's a Satanist.   Top
