Hello Stuart, This is Maureen…

written by Stuart on February 16th, 2006

The conversation went like this:

Me: Hello?
Her: Hello Stuart, This is Maureen from apple.
Me: Really?
Her: Yes, I'm ringing to let you know that the applecare cover on your iPod has expired.
Me: I See.
Her: Would you like to renew it for another year?
Me: No thankyou.
Her: Really, because it's a great deal, you know, it covers virtually everything.
Me: Yes, I know, but I don't want to any additional cover, thank you.
Her: Really, Ok then, thank you for your time Mr Frisby.

Strange, I never had apple down as the cold calling type. That was yesterday afternoon, and I got another call from the same woman today, when I politely informed her that we had already spoke about applecare. I thought for a minute that I was going to get a sweet job offer, but nay, just a saleswoman after some more of my hard-earned.

Who cares what everyone else thinks? (RSS)

Wow, you should consider yourself lucky.

One of the reasons why Mac computers and paraphernalia are not that popular in Greece is the terrible service they got here.

We would sing in joy if anyone actually called us. :P
