By the end of the call I had a very nice sale from her that nobody else would have gotten because she was annoyed and upset by them. She left a super nice review on my supervisor's inbox and she couldn't stop thanking me. The only thing I did was google the box and explain to her how it worked and act like a decent human being.
Really that last bit is all it takes. Be a decent human being.
That's my rage. I work for a huge company that puts a ton of effort into taking good care of their employees and gives us -fantastic- tools to take care of our customers too, and our month and a half of training (or longer, depending on your position) repeatedly emphasizes good customer service. You can get fired for being a jerk if you get caught.
And yet. People are still constantly idiots and jerks to customers. Jeez. I get paid too well not to take an extra 30 seconds to google something outside of my particular set of job duties.

I could get two egg rolls and a massive pile of orange chicken and fried rice for four bucks!
Edited to add: one is forced to wonder if these two statements are somehow correlated.

My favorite chart for explaining radiation doses
The reason for me posting: Dude I've worked a shitload of construction, and if there was ever a sign saying some shit like that to me, even if it just showed up with you and your crew after I came back from lunch and wasn't there before... I would definitely ask a foreman if I should run some wire to one of the other rooms on site or something haha. And I am by no means the sharpest crayon in the toolshed, if you feel what I'm saying, I'm no rocket surgeon. We'll go with room temperature IQ, and I'll be gracious to m'self and call it in Farenheit.
The guy won't get cancer and die just because of one dose but if he does it routinely, then gets some xrays, flies overseas etc. etc. it just keeps rising. Just the paperwork and the royal hiding you get when an incident like this happens even when it's not your fault is irksome since general public don't get their doses routinely recorded.
To put it in perspective with that chart I'll tell two stories. The first is one of our technicians having an MRI and had an isotope injected into his system. He came to work afterwards and as he would walk past other people their personal alarms would go off. Second is a guy who had his thyriod examined, he went to work afterwards and a tech taped a paperclip to his throat then a film over it. Twenty minutes later it got developed and there was this perfect little paperclip on the film. It was pretty cool.

Tracphone. And smart phones. I'm smart, but I don't want a smart phone anymore they're a headache and a half to figure out! I miss the old Nokia I had for seven years. That thing was a tank. I dropped it a few times accidentally, and pieces flew off in precisely 5 chunks that were easy to put together again.
I hate not being able to see how many airtime minutes I have left. They need to put them back on the stupid phone interface, not make you download a stupid app to see it. I can't get it to work. It just makes me feel dumber.

I generally like the way the forums work, but it would be nice if the rules were consistent with how they do work.

Still in the rumor stages of the story so these are the supposed facts:
-A pair of techs was shooting last night.
-During set up, they didn't check the area for 'members of the general public'.
-There was a 'member of the general public' in a crane doing maintenance 7m from the source when the shots were being taken.
-Three shots were taken about 15 minutes each.
-When the workers in the morning arrived on site all barricades and warning lights were still in place.
-Incident wasn't reported by the technicians. Incident was reported by the worksite (big no).
-Both techs are MIA at the current time.
I swear these sort of incidents don't happen often! Just the last week seems exceptionally bad. As you can probably predict, these techs are in trouble.
