Although it doesn't affect the falsehood of the story, I can confirm that Odessa is a shitheap.

I always order my burgers with "No Salad". I drink at my local pub way too much and in pretty close with all the staff. There was indeed a time i asked for a burger with no salad, the ticket went to the kitchen with the comment "no healthy poo poo", given i was the only person ordering food at the time the kitchen staff knew it was for me, a plate with a single tomato was brought to my table as a joke (the burger followed shortly after). That's a true story, it's boring, and probably what would be submitted to NAR before being turned into that garbage STDH.

I don't even understand how the tracker played any part in this beyond reminding him someone was on their way. The delivery guy would've shown up either way.

Also, depending on various factors, the pizza tracker may be total bullshit. Corporate expects to see certain numbers in the performance audit, so most managers, at least in the area I used to work at, would fudge the pizza tracker by flagging orders as "out for delivery" when they were 15 minutes old, even if they were still in the oven/waiting to be put in the oven, and marking them as "delivered" when they were approaching 30 minutes. If they weren't doing this, it was because we were getting destroyed, and morale was decimated. Probably the pizza tracker works fine for actual Corporate stores that have state of the art equipment and enough drivers, but the franchisee Dominos are a major crapshoot. I've seen one really nice one and like 5 that are understaffed holes in the ground, all owned by like 3 different people. The tracker itself is just an egg timer informed by 4 points in time. Order enters the system, order flagged as "in the oven", order flagged as "out for delivery", order flagged as "complete". The last one is supposed to be entered when the driver returns to the store, but we were always told to do it 15 minutes after they leave, or when the total age of the order is almost at 30 minutes, at our discretion. If somebody was actually watching the Pizza Tracker, and called to complain about how it says his nonexistent pizza was delivered, we were just supposed to be like, "Oh, yeah, sorry. That thing's an automated estimate, that gets thrown off when we're really busy." I'm so glad I write software now

It showed him that the pizza was nowhere near ready, so he checked who was at the door before opening it and realized it was his crazy violent ex? Oh wait.

I think that the Dominos pizza tracker story was some kind of weird search engine optimization thing or writing assignment. There's so many weird details thrown in. It's like someone told him to use the words "ninja turtle, dominos, Pizza Hut, banking, honda accord, parks and rec" and he came up with this.

It's so sad that a person's revenge fantasy, not to mention days of planning, culminated in a plan from a lovely 80s movie involving marbles and a fake spider in his 'Loki Trickster Jacket.' I feel bad for dumb nerds because there's really nowhere for them to go. It's the worst of all worlds.

Khazar-khum posted:Sports are universal. The only STDH part of this is the rep engaging with the abusive customer's bullshit instead of giving boilerplate responses. Also I don't know how it works in the UK but in the US, customer support is almost never allowed to hang up on a customer. They can be calling you a dyke oval office whore and threatening to make sure you never work again and you're required to be courteous and stick to the pre-approved responses (e.g. "If you'd like to make a payment...", etc.). The most you can do is transfer them to a supervisor if they ask for it.

Bertrand Hustle posted:The only STDH part of this is the rep engaging with the abusive customer's bullshit instead of giving boilerplate responses. Yeah, we don't put up with that kinda poo poo in the UK. Most companies have a "3 strike rule" where you warn the customer about their conduct and disconnect them on the third time if they chose to continue being a oval office. I used to warn the customer once and if they continued I'd disconnect. Was never pulled up about it. But I work for a government non profit subsidiary so I dunno how that applies to places driven by profit.

Man I don't know what lovely rear end places you've worked, but anywhere I've done customer service in the US, if the customer starts getting abusive or swears at you, you can pretty much give them a warning that you will hang up and then hang up if they continue carrying on. Customer service in the US is pretty loving dumb in how much they expect you to take from people, but there are still limits, in my experience.

I've worked at quite a few places and as soon as a person was abusive we were allowed to disconnect. I'd usually keep them on because it was more entertaining than the usual prattle and you could usually get them to calm down after a minute and then they'd usually apologize non-stop. Customer service was still the absolute worst job I've ever had and I used to dig ditches with a shovel in a subtropical environment and clean up animal waste.

Plus I have never in my life seen an insurance claim form where they want the patient and not the doctor to fill out the diagnosis. Patients never fill out these forms. The insurance company would deny coverage if they heard the patient was being asked to diagnose themselves. It's true that companies won't pay for treatment without a diagnosis, but insurance doesn't care about context - they look at diagnosis, consult their tables which determine length of treatment required, and allocate a specific amount of funding for x number of sessions. It's a very mechanical process and the patient is not heavily involved unless coverage is denied, when you encourage them to call and plead their case. Besides, she's multiple sessions in? Did the therapist not want to get paid for their previous work? All that paperwork is done during the assessment phase.

I'm a mental health counselor myself and I agree the insurance system is hosed but you're not doing yourself any favors by being flippant to the therapist about it.

Thing was, if he got a woman on the line, he'd hang up. Haggis Heed posted:Yeah, we don't put up with that kinda poo poo in the UK. I had a few people kicking off at the last place I worked (UK call centre working for a certain energy company). Generally, if you let them have a rant, they'd eventually say 'look, I know it's not your fault, I'm sorry to take it out on you'. A couple of times though, I had people say 'well, it's your job, that's what you're there for'. I've had one or two guys get seriously threatening at me, and the first time, my reaction was in fact to laugh. Any other time though, you warn them. If they step up or start shouting and swearing, either they get a final warning or I cut the call there and then, depending on how bad it is. Any time I've been asked about it, I've explained my reasoning and been told 'fair enough, if it happens again, give me a shout'.
