Redbox Customer Service is Golden
Often
companies ignore the importance of empowering staff without
"customer service" in their title. They think that the
employees who aren't formally charged with customer interaction don't
need to be customer focused. They usually don't invest much (any?) time
or money to train these people. And they nearly never give them any tools
to help ease any customer annoyance.
Imagine my surprise,
then, at the customer focus of a Redbox video
vending employee named Susan.

What Do You Consider "Above and
Beyond" Service?
The luxurous
Huis ter Duin hotel in Noordwijk, on the Netherlands' North Sea, is
known for it's location and its comforts. As you would guess, it also has
great service.
I have had the
good fortune to stay in other fine hotels around the world serving
clients. I appreciate good service. But at this conference of 200
attendees, this hotel did a few things that made it stand out above many
others.

Federal Government's Customer Service -
Oxymoron?
You say.
"The government doesn't have a clue how to treat its customers --
us!"
The USPS spent
millions a decade ago on customer service training. Generally, the clerks
I've encountered are pleasant and some go out of their way to be friendly
to their customers.
Other agencies
not so much.

I was told this
the other day after a tense conversation with a rep who made allegations
about my actions that weren't true and kept interrupting me. I thought I
was being logical, persistent and not letting her state things that were
untrue. She thought I was being rude.
Can customer
service providers be rude?
Is it ever
acceptable for a provider to tell a customer s/he is rude?
