What I've taught everyone in my family....and it works.\n\nOver the years, I've learned whether dealing in person or on the phone [I always carry a pen and small notebook]\nI always ask...\n"Hi, who am I speaking to?" {get first & last name]\n"What is your identifier number?" [if they can't give a last name....they always have a number.]\n\nIn person, I do the same thing....waiters, waitresses, nurses in emergency rooms...etc.\n\nNow I have it!!!  Their Name.  Before anything else happens.\nI have their name.....they know if they are rude, inconsiderate or hang up on me......I have their 'name'.\n\nIf....any of the above occurs.  I call back and immediately as for a supervisor [you'll get..."Oh, maybe I can help you." and you say "No.  Get me the Supervisor."\n\nThe same holds true for any 'in-person' contacts.  Any ingnorance...ask for a supervisor or manager.\n\nMind you....\n  \nI also use their "name" to call back a supervisor to tell them what "excellent" service I've had also.

I am Mr. Rude. Go suck donkey nuts! HAHAHAHAA\n\nI'm just kidding. Anyways, some people are rude just to be funny. Sometimes its funny, but when you're looking for an accurate answer, you're gonna hate the guy.

2 minutes your being very generous. I would not and do not hold on that long. They are being rude by not coming back and telling you they will call you back if they need to take the phone call. God bless

Stay polite, but don't hang around them if you don't want to.  You have the right to say no.  If they say they want to do something, say you have a previous commitment.  (Even if it's to yourself!)

Not at all.  I want them there to answer any question I have, but not to come at me and try to force a sale.\nIf they are too pushy, I generally walk out on them.

Walk away before they can say anything to you!(from My experience)

YOU CAN CANCEL A BID BUT YOU SHOULD LET THE SELLER KNOW YOUR REASONS. ALSO BE PREPARED FOR BAD FEEDBACK.

I just smile sweetly at them and say "Thank you.  Have a nice day."\n\nIt's a sly way of telling them to piss off.  The contrast between your ultra-niceness and their rudeness will point out to them how rude they're being.

just ask them in a polite way first by saying "excuse me but this is important , please allow me to finish" and if they persist then you have the right to walk away from them and continue your conversation elsewhere or if they persist you can tell them in a more angered way (in a nonviolent way of course)

Sell them on the secondary market. Complaining to management will get you nowhere.

You guys are unbelievable. I can't believe you all are answering questions in the Etiquette area.\n\nSometimes, you just have to put up with listening to stuff you don't want to hear.  Politely excuse yourself, period.  Tell them you have to go.\n\nBeing rude will net you nothing but another enemy. There's no reason for that - you never know when the person you're talking to now will appear again in your life -- maybe a boss, a co-worker, or a friend's friend, or worse, a waitress or waiter who has the ability and opportunity to spit in your food.  It's always a good idea to be polite to everyone, and it's just the right thing to do.

The question is not whether the customer is right, it is whether he thinks he is. If the customer will not listen to you try to explain something or is trying to tell you how to do your job. Allow him to continue to believe you're listening and doing as he says but really just do things the way you're supposed to.

you need to make one correction. "A follow-up sales call would be APPRECIATED". Omit "in most cases".

At least you called. And yes, she was rude. If I were you I'd talk to her face to face OR your doctor as he is the one that hired her. I mean, if you can't make it, you can't make it. If it happens again, I'd start searching for a new doctor.

If you truly feel that they are offending you with their behavior (hopefully your employer has a sign somewhere that says "We have the right to refuse service to anyone"), tell them that you just work there and wish they could be nice to you as you would like to be nice to them.  If they continue to be disrespectful and rude, I would simply walk away, go to your supervisor - explain the situation and allow them to handle the customer.  No - I do not believe that "The customer is always right".  When people are rude and inconsiderate they need to understand that is not always going to get their way.  If you are the supervisor, depending on the corporate environment - they may kiss that customer's behind or tell them they cannot help them and that perhaps they would find service elsewhere.
