Lack of Computer Customer Service

Book Guy

I write it like I mean it, but mostly they just want my money.

I recently used a link at a strip-club's web page to ask some specifics about the club. I took the time to write an intelligent, terse, two-paragraph letter. "Hi, I'm interested in finding out blah blah. The context is such-and-so. Thanks very much for your etc."

I really hate it when the response to this sort of query is, essentially, to blatantly display, "We don't give a shit if you get a decent answer or not." My response was the following: "You have written to us about Q topic. No." Or, "It will be somewhere between $20 and $50." Or, "Thanks, but you'll have to phone us."

I guess the club doesn't really need to bother with attracting people by means of decent friendly customer service. Why the fuck do they put email links on their web pages, if they aren't actually going to bother to USE EMAIL to distribute INTELLIGENT INFORMATION?

"Hey, when is dancer auditions. What day and time?" "Please come in to see us." Grr.

"Hello, how much is a taxi from the airport." "I don't know. You can call the cab company." Grr.

"Hi, would you have seating for a group of six on Friday?" "Please phone when the manager is in. I don't know when that will be." Grr.

"Is there wheelchair and other handicapped access to the main floor? The private rooms? The restrooms?" "Many of our customers enjoy their time here." Grr.

"I'm interested in finding out when my cousin will be doing the DJ work there. Can you tell me when he'll be in?" "We play hip-hop and rap on Thursdays, classic rock on Fridays, and Saturday is dancer's choice." Grr.

"Are you just north or just south of the turnpike? I can't tell from your web map page." "Please consult our web map page." Grr.

"Is there a dress code at your club? What is it? I will only have dark jeans and a clean t-shirt tomorrow night." "Please observe our dress code when visiting." Grr.

What the FFFF is with these morons?

Grr. Just venting.
