Mr Condescending

I met the ultimate Mr Condescending Yesterday In the bank He spoke to us like we were complete morons Who’s brains had shrivelled and shrank In order to excuse the banks obvious mistakes He waffled a complete load of tripe In a very condescending manner And nonsensical hype I do not anger quickly or often But l could feel my anger rise I felt the steam steadily blowing Out of my ears, nose and eyes! I retaliated with tone and attitude As l could no longer hear his words Once realising our brains were still in full working order He shut-up and we were heard!!

Ha! Ha! Ha! Perhaps, he will be less condescending to others that come into the bank after you leave, Deb. Maybe he needs to read something that clarifies what customer service means etc. Good one, Deb . XX

How many wasted hours sitting thru meetings like this. How many sheep lead the team of wolves thru the fog. Why do we have to suffer fools wisely? Because they are always with us!!! ;o/

Sounds like you handled it well. I have met my fair share of know-it-alls on both sides of the counter.

It takes a lot to get me cross but he managed it….l think it was just his manner in general….not much personality there !! Thanks Tom! Debx

No tip for him? Companies are desperate for hires these days. Customer service is slowly becoming a thing of the past. Maybe AI not too bad?

I've known a few people like that. Having a know-it-all attitude is rude. Check your email, Deb.
