Customer Service

A passenger boarded a taxi to work. He took the front seat and placed his hand somewhere close to the driver’s seat, making the driver very uncomfortable to drive. This is a conversation that ensued between them.

Passenger (P): Ohh!! (removing his hand) I'm sorry. This is making you uncomfortable…

Driver (D): Ohh don’t remove your hand…you are the customer and are supposed to be comfortable over me…

P: No. You are the driver and need all the comfort and room to drive safely…

D: Not at all. Would I drive an empty car? You are most paramount to this car and your comfort to the end of the journey is my concern as well…

P: Your customer service gestures are most admirable. However, if it means putting your own life and other lives in danger, it is no customer service at all..
