It's funny because it's bullshit.

I don't think I'm supposed to see those "Whatever happened to customer service?" DHL commercials and derisively laugh so hard I throw out my back, accidentally slam my head against the desk, and spontaneously eject my spleen.

I see those, think of your posts about working there, and laugh hysterically.

You know, when I see those I think of you and your 'interesting' stories from work.

Also, I'm amused by the bag boy putting the gallon of milk on top of the bag of groceries.

The first time I saw them, I thought, "Hey, that's a funny commercial -- hee, I do that all the time -- hey, that's a good idea to do to the annoying -- OH MY GOD THIS IS A DHL COMMERCIAL?! BWAHAHAHAHA!!!"

The first time I saw that ad, I just had to look at it and think, "Wait... DHL, talking about customer service? Ain't what I heard...". And then proceed to laugh my ass off.

As for whether your reaction was supposed to happen... no, you probably don't want to know what was really supposed to happen...

Oh, I laugh good and hard too. One company we worked at made us use DHL cause they were the cheapest.

With good reason.

They lost so many checks and important papers. We got sued over a few of those...

Ever notice how it's always somehow spleens?

I think of you every time I see that insanely happy customer service chyk in the DHL polo shirt. The story it always reminds me of is the lady who came in to DHL wanting her UPS package, and she wouldn't leave until you said, "Uh, WHO sent you here?" Hahahaha oops my spleen.

Every time I see her, I think of the fact that the more customers were pissing me off, the perkier I got, until the end of the night when I was as cute and sweet as a puppy but probably would have bitten the head off of one if given the chance.

See, this makes me think of Airplane, with the heart transplant girl's new heart bouncing around. That doesn't make me less of a sensitive human being, right...?

This is why we always use Fedex. Whenever we called DHL, we'd be given contrary information to what we thought was true, and never the same info twice. A package to Ireland that we were told would cost $58 (and my boss went with DHL for the lower cost) for some odd reason ballooned to $198 by the time it was actually delivered, for instance. Fedex had said they would have done it for $100.

Oh, that drove those of us who worked the front counter insane. The customer service number would quote people a cheaper amount than was in our price guide, and people kept having fits over it.

[corruptedjasper.livejournal.com]

Not unreasonable to have fits over that really.

Word. I laugh very hard at them, and then I think, "Hmm. If Trollprincess ever winds up at the same convention I'm at, I'll buy her a drink for putting up with whoever came up with...that."
