RE: Stupid Questions
oh, and back on topic, lmao.
Yes, there is such a thing as stupid questions."On this page this part says it fits 84-99 HD Softails, so will it fit my 2001?" Or worse... "will it fit my 1993?"
I mean seriously, I've been in Customer Service for nearly 5 years, and I will tell you theangrycustomer is maybe right 40% of the time, if that. If the customer IS right... they're usuallynot calling in to complain, they're calling in to buy more...
Unfortunately, you have to take the good with the bad, and when they're bad you just deal w/it. If there were no idiots making their mistake ours, parts would be a heck of a lot cheaper. If you're lucky, pleasing that customer isn't going to cost more than losing the customers he will turn away. If ur not lucky... well, the prices go up and all the other good customers lose.
My mainfrustration w/emis READ... if you don't know a blue harley ultra classic.from a blue harley sportster.... DONT OWN ONE, if you do for some insane reason... DONT BUY AFTERMARKET PARTS, that's why there's a stealer.... errrr I mean dealership that can sell and even install the parts for you!
(seriously, ppl will, and have called in, and not known the model of their bike)
But, my stories could go on an on...

I found this little cartoon on the web years ago.
Of course I don't really agree with it, but it was funny none the less.

I agree..that is funny, Taz.
But, like you, I don't really agree with it.
And, yet ... isn't that relationship between customer and business an odd one? I mean ... it might be considered a love/hate type relationship.... Neither can exist without the other; yet, they can't stand either other at times ... lol.

RE: Stupid Questions
Buddy just got a good one from a snowmobile customer the other night.
"How can you tell if the thumb warmers are working?"
"Umm sir, not to be rude, but do your thumbs get warm."
Love it.

RE: Stupid Questions
LOL!
I might've replied something like:
"Well, to test them ... you need to find a glass and put ice in it. Then, place the thumb warmers in the glass. If the ice melts, they are working."

RE: Stupid Questions
SERIOUSLY NOW! I've always said that the ONLY stupid question is the one you don't ask.
HOWEVER, that rule doesn't apply when you are dealing with STUPID PEOPLE! Kinda like trying to soar with eagles when you work with turkeys (or turkey buzzards).
