He strives to keep the crime rate low, nearly killing a few in the process. His cyber alias “A Boy Named Goo”, is still being researched upon and scholors are divided on its origin. Known for his dry sarcasm, the public knows him as a very rude man. He loves cream, cherries and books. He lives in northern Singapore and tries to clean his room regularly.” *The following entry is an excerpt from the author’s private blog.

Its been a while since I wrote in … its been about a year in fact … like I’ve said .. I’m never the type to stick to something for long … but something weird happened today … something nobody could EVER imagine … something that MUST be written in black and white (or whatever coloured font of your preference).. yes .. boys and girls … today .. on the 8th April 2006 .. I received good customer service in Singapore.!!! That’s right … it exists … like the supernatural … it appears to you when you least expect it … Therefore .. like any other government brain washed citizen … I felt compelled to give her the “GEMS” card .. (u know the little pink cards placed on dining tables that I initially thought were only useful, if you wanna pass your phone number to some cute waitress) Anyways … the place I’m talking about took place at a quaint little Pizza Hut in Marina Square … (just in case you’d be interested to go phenomenon hunting) .. Don’t go for the food though .. that darn place was so quaint .. they can’t fit a salad bar in it. Hey … before you service-line people start shooting me hate comments … let me say for the record … I worked in the service-line before … and in a way .. I still am right now .. and I know that some … no .. most people out there don’t deserve to be served nicely … they’re rude … obnoxious … demanding … spoilt … and they definitely do not deserve a glimpse of my yellow, coffee-stained smile .. but hey … nobody ever said life was fair … I know of people … myself included .. who say things like … “excuse me”, “thank you”, “sorry” so easily to service staffs .. but never to the people who really mattered … our loved ones … Do we say thank you to our mom when she cooks a warm meal or when that laundry gets done? I bet to most … it’d be easier to thank that cook .. or that Laundromat … yes, the one you paid for too … how bout when your dad gave you pocket money when you were younger? I bet you’d readily say thank you to the bank teller that just cashed in YOUR money … I’d go on … but you get the picture … It’s so easy to take our loved ones for granted … So maybe next time when someone you cared for had been waiting for hours while you finish your tons of work … and he suddenly missed your calls coz his phone sucked … before you screamed his ears off … don’t forget those ears were your faithful listeners while he rubs your stinky feet … The North Westerner Technorati tags: Archtomato, Guest Bloggers, Boy Named Goo, Return of the Rambling Fool Main | Previous Article « Which is Which | Next Article » The De-facto Idiot Box This entry was posted on Saturday, April 8th, 2006 at 4:26 pm and is filed under Guest Bloggers.

Now, why are there squigly thingeys in this post? It’s kinda hard to read.
Problem with encoding. Rectified
the customer is ALWAYS right. And since the customer is paying money, ought to receive his/her money’s worth. and please, I was in the service line too. I still think customer is right. bottomline is the most impt for the company and bad service is bad bad bad. anyway, glad to see the guest blogger back!
I agree with Liza that bad CS is bad for the company. But not always as most people presume. If one is skilled in bullshit then one would be able to slap customers with Bad service, and still walk away smiling.
Boils down to the situation and the skills of diplomacy u possess.
