Peeve #468: Talking to unhelpful staff at Telstra shops.

Me: [after spending months battling my anxiety to get to this point] Hi. I had a mobile account with you guys, but it got disconnected because I couldn’t pay my final bill. I was wondering if I could get the same number reconnected and under the same plan? Or a similar plan?

Telstra ponytail dude: *tsk* When numbers are disconnected, it means they’re suspended for twelve months.

Me: Ok.

Telstra ponytail dude:

Me:

Telstra ponytail dude: Ok, well I’ll check the computer… yup. So your number’s goneski.

Me: Yup… [waiting for customer service, offer to start another account, anything at all]

Telstra ponytail dude:

Me:

Telstra ponytail dude:

Me:

Telstra ponytail dude:

Me: ...

Telstra ponytail dude: ...

Me: …ok. Never mind. Bye.

Telstra ponytail dude: Bye bye!


And I backed away slowly.

Weird.
