    Exploring the dramatic shift from 'customer is always right' to defensive, confrontational service where complaints are met with pushback, security calls, and zero apologies.

    When Customer Service Fights Back

    When Customer Service Fights Back 베스트 인용

    “

    We've created a system where the most expensive problems to fix are the ones most likely to be shut down before they reach decision-makers by labeling the customer's justified frustration as 'rude' or 'difficult.'

    There’s this new phenomenon now that where you notice patterns in the inside of either price gouging price fixing HR department, rude customer service and when you get slightly defensive and get a tone with someone about it, they retort back to you instead of the old Customer Service model to say you know I’m sorry, sir. You’re right let me get my manager to fix that for you now they just retort back to you or they call the police on you or they monitor you with store security & zero apologies
