Is your name Jordan? Otherwise im guessing that message was meant for a colleague to take a break or something
What did you have for brekky?
Gorilla snickers marketing.
He’s probably just trying to be polite and was gonna say if you hadn’t had breakfast yet you could go make it while you wait.
Did your breakfast taste funny?
He probably has a side gig as a Weetabix salesman
Well, have you? Maybe the agent is just looking out for you
Customer service agents are told to fill the void with small talk to build a rapport.
I don’t know if “speak to customers like you’re their dad” constitutes that, though.
Are they suggesting that you’re getting a bit hangry?
I imagine there was a segue into things you can do whilst you wait for the router to restart. It would be weirder if it was more like “Jordan, what’s your inside leg measurement?”
He’s trying to gauge how cranky you’re going to get when his router trick doesn’t work.
OR: Tell him you had some Fruit and Fibre Optic.
Why didn’t you respond? This is the most interesting thing anyone has ever asked on a customer service ticket
😂😂
That’s hilarious! I always get annoyed when they ask how my days going when I’m most likely pissed off I have to talk to customer service and they’re telling me things I don’t want to hear.
Well, Jordan? Did you have your breakfast?
…was it Jordans?
They’re just looking out for your health.
“I couldn’t afford it because my talktalk bill was too high”
Name check to see how you react to what they did.
I had a conversation with a Talk Talk agent last week and I definitely felt like I was talking to an AI because they kept asking questions I had already answered and getting information wrong. It was highly frustrating
For some reason I read this in HALs voice.
‘Have you eaten?’ is a common question in some Asian cultures, essentially like ‘How are you?’ is for us.
Found this out in China where I was confused why people were asking me if I’d eaten and they were equally confused by me asking them how they were.
New chatup lines unlocked 🔥🔥
Classic Umair.
OP they were probably making a joke linked to your name.. ie: Jordan’s Cereals
I hope you told him you’d had cereal 🤣
Well, have you?
You weren’t being a right diva, were you?
Well, Jordan? Have you?
Were you getting antsy? Maybe they thought you were hangry.
Jordan seek sustenance
