The 2 days of working in roadshow have passed... This time a bit more sianz and relunctant to explain to customers because there was a speaker somewhere there and it was BLASTING loud music and voices, hard for me to speak, hard for the customer to hear...
After working for a few of such roadshows, I have decided on the few categories of customers on my HATE-list:
Customer A: "Eh, how to get the free TV? Huh only for new subscribers ah? Why liddat?? So unfair u noe? We have been customers of Cable TV for so many years liao! Then old customers get nothing ah??"
Me: Yes... nothing... so sorry... free TV only for new subscribers of Starhub Digital TV.
Customer A: (continues...) "Wah unfair leh! Then we cancel and sign on again ah! I cancel mine, then use my wife's name lor! Then new subscriber wat! Y cannot??"
Me: (In my heart:)Cannot.... CANNOT CANNOT CANNOT!!! ~raaaAAR~ Giam beng singaporeans! (From a smiling mouth:) No, cannot so sorry... they will check and verify your address... if can then everyone can do so... yeah maybe not really fair... u complain to my boss better, i only part-timer... (smilez... this is wat u call a fake smile.)
Customer B: "Excuse me what are the new features?"
Me: -demo-
Customer B: -grinz- "Haha u know, actually in other countries, they get all this for free like malaysia's astromax. Malaysians if they know about this that u muz pay to get this in sg, they will laugh! I just asking only ah, thanks ah!" -pats me on shoulder and leave-
Me: -pengz- Stupid u!
Customer C: "Excuse me, i wan to know more about Maxonline..." -Holding a sheet of Maxonline brochure...-
Me: -stops C before C can say anything more- "I'm so sorry, but i m only in charge of Digital TV. U approach that guy or lady there?" -byez!-
Nonethless it has been fun working in a roadshow. Friendly customers usually, TV to watch, goodie bag... Saw Slyvester too on the 1st day singing An Jing, dint get to see Taufik coz its lunchtime. Lotsa handphone promotions too! And i like PS coz its closer to my home than J8 or anywhere else not in the east!
