People who run business to customer (B2C) services meet a lot of different people on a daily basis, some of whom make for memorable impressions, may they be good or bad.
Luckily for us, mobile gadget store Joe Gadget’s owner decided to keep screenshots of some of his most unforgettable interactions with his customers, and it’s hella amusing.
Awus (@Pojoo_) took to his Twitter account to showcase just some of the customers he has to deal with on a daily basis, namely those who ask hilarious questions that don’t make sense. Luckily for them, Awus has quite a sense of humour himself, as his responses reflect the customers’ texts perfectly.
