Reply to Some Customer Service Reps Are Better Than others in Misc JoeUser Forums

Working in a place that deals w/ customers all day.. via the phone... I know how important it is to follow through and make sure the customer knows what I've done, and what the next step will be. I receive several calls from customers verifing the previous rep's call. Did my check go through... did they request the late fee to be credited... all kinds of things. I get frustrated at times because I know that previous rep didn't fully explain everythi

What went around came around in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

THE IRS WAS NICE! in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

As I reflect on the past few weeks, I have been able to realize a few things. The irs in person... ie.. their rep's were actually very nice. They went out of their way to help, removing the garnishment that day.. answering my questions, helping me... understanding, and actually explaing things. Now , mind you.. I wouldn't not want to go through what I went
