I'm getting sick of customer service in general being substandard and I really wonder how some people stay in business up here!
Three of my personal 'best' are;
- "Oh, I thought someone else rang you to tell you that your tennants are moving out next week. Thier notice of vacating is here in front of me." -From my 'property manager' (loosly termed, highly overpaid) last week.



- "We cant align the spotlights cause its too hard to do in daylight" - From a well known 4x4 shop in town, also last week. Apparently they havent thought of a whiteboard on wheels like the MVR or they are just too lazy to shut the roller door for 15 minutes. Still charged full price though...

- "Had to clean dirt out of the carby's" - From some sales c*%t a few years ago at a well known boat dealer in the territory when i picked my mates boat up after weeks in the workshop cause he was out of town... it was an EFI outboard... WTF??

I reckon it would be interesting to hear what some of the other excuses are that are getting thrown around out there, surely i'm not copping them all. Fair enough, the Territory's reknowned for its laid back lifestyle but this is rediculous! Maybe its why we drink so much!
