Product Description

Retailers, restaurants, and tech support providers believe service is king, but in The Customer Is Not Always Right, A.J. Adams proves that customers will do anything they can to put that motto to the test.

Readers get a collection of insights and stories from the popular Web site NotAlwaysRight.com. The book and site showcase customer-relations horror stories everyone can relate to. No matter what side of the counter you're on, there are hilarious tales about everything that can go wrong between the customer and retail or service provider. Whether it's a confrontation in the drive-through over not enough fries or arguing over a one-cent price difference on milk, this book proves the principle of "the customer is always right" can be dead wrong.

From groaning, to intense complaining, to situations that leave workers asking, "Are you serious?," readers will enjoy these hilarious tales of customers gone wrong.



About the Author

A. J. Adams is no stranger to dealing with customers; he was born and raised in Las Vegas, a city well-known for its thriving service industry. Although he now designs Web sites for a living, he has also worked in restaurants, bookstores, and coffee shops. It was after one particularly frustrating run-in with a customer that he decided to create NotAlwaysRight.com, a Web site devoted to sharing funny and stupid customer quotes.

5.0 out of 5 stars You will be amazed at the idiocy of people and brain freezes, October 26, 2009
By B. Hunter (atlanta ga) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
You will find gems like these in the book:
Person who thinks all the US maps are wrong because they only show 50 states.
Person who is allergic to tomatoes but uses ketchup.
Person trying to find donuts in the chips and nuts aisle in a grocery store (because they are Do - nuts).
Person who calls vet to find out why her new cat is spraying everything in the house and it really smells ("cat" is all black with two white stripes down back)
Person who wants to know the difference between the 2-piece chicken meal and the 4-piece chicken meal and does not understand the only thing different is two pieces of chicken. (What does two more pieces of chicken mean?)
Ahh, the fun of questions about "how much does a $4 car wash cost".
Person who cannot get to a New England resort in time for the leaves changing colors on the trees and asks the resort owner to turn them back when they are planning a visit.
Person who calls the cable company because the television is not working correctly - and finally reveals that all the electric items are having a problem because the town has a tornado passing through

And gee, I wish the above examples were unusual. Glad to say - they are not. You will laugh, you will cry, you will shake your head as you read the pages.

With this book, you will be amazed at what people think they know, what people say, and instances of brain freeze.

Hopefully you may even learn not to be a "customer who is always right".
