Customer service, or what?

Hi Jason, I work in customer service industry which doesnt come under category O, A or B. Can I still apply for PR? Also my spouse is in final year of their MBA, will that also count? Can I enter their details as a post grad.?

I don't mind being asked if I need help..shoot most of the time I'm lost or can't remember what I need..I call it fine customer service and it makes me mad when I'm ignored..

There’s a few very flawed tests here. They sent the black guy into best buy, but no one else for comparison. Best Buy now tries to compete with Amazon by focusing on customer service. Everytime I go in there I have 3 employees asking me if I need help, and im white. Also the test where someone looks at a face and has to choose good or bad, is silly. They’re forcing someone to choose between two arbitrary answers. Life is not black or white. I’m not doubting the discrimination minorities face though.

Can I help you find something?\nThat is great customer service.\nIn England it's simply, buy something or leave!!

The best way to deter shoplifting from any suspicious-looking individual is great customer service.

Tipping doesn’t mean good customer service. It means they fake it, and in the end, everything becomes more expensive. North America needs to get their act together. Don’t start me on taxes!

Wow! America and Canada tip. That means sh!t customer service.

Why do you only get “excellent customer service” from a tipping culture? Sorry, don’t find customer service any better in US or Canada. Depends greatly on the individual / establishment. Think it is more important to give people a good, minimum, wage.

“You will find excellent customer service”. Living in Canada, I laughed out loud at this.

I’m not sure if the 15-20% tipping demands excellent customer service.

I believe BestBuy was not targeting the guy, they do that as great customer service. My husband who is white, BestBuy is all over him when he goes there. So ...

Brother. I hv completed my graduation and now im working as a customer service employee since 5 years. Can u please tell if i can apply for CANADA AIPP?

As a shop assistant we are actually told by bosses to approach any customers that seem to be looking for something to offer them help nothing to do with their colour all todo with customer service if they can’t find what they’re looking for

This is a great documentary! the struggle is REAL! I just visited NZ and WOW...what a surprise! they need diversity and customer service training! I didn't like NZ at all...felt so insecure and always targeted

My mother's background is ambiguous based on looks. She's actually English and Irish but she has dark brown hair and dark brown eyes and naturally tanned skin. It's very unusual for someone of British ancestry, but family photo's of Mum's family show the same colouring back to her great-great-grandfather. In Britain, as a blonde, blue-eyed daughter, I've watched my whole life as people treated her differently to other relatives. She's quiet, polite and her father was a police chief inspector, she strictly obeys the law. I've overheard people refer to her as a 'paki' and all sorts of derogatory things. When we went to the US, it wasn't better. They were rude to her until she spoke and then reacted with shock. Some admitted they thought she was Mexican. \nSo, is it any easier for her in Canada? When she visits me here, she is mistaken for an aboriginal. It isn't any easier for her here. And pettiness of it all. When they hear her accent, suddenly it's like she's their best friend. \nThe sad/funny thing is, often I can't find customer service more than half the time I'm out. When I'm with my mother, there is ALWAYS someone around to ask for help.

When i was in Vancouver i met a lot of rude Canadians....some were waiters and hotel staffers and an airport worker. Seriously im nice but next time im going to tell these people off. Actually I gave NO tips to the rude waiters and Tweeted about the bad customer service!! Twitter is helpful in many ways!!

A retail associate's job is to offer service to all customers. They are also trained that this is a key deterrent to theft. Sure, some people feel like they are being profiled, but customers complain the loudest when they have not been offered assistance.

How about good customer service. Ever think about that

Good customer service. Diligence against theft is awesome!!

Ok. Just to be fair, the stuff in the store is actually customer service. My skin is white as snow and when I go to one of these electronics stores I'm actually glad someone asks if I need help because half the time I'm so overwhelmed with choices of gadgets and computers, etc. that I do need help making the correct choice of product for my needs.

There is a study that revealed African-American shoppers are more likely to feel accused by an offer of customer service than European-Americans, too.

I'm a white guy and went to a black Barber shop. I was treated with respect and he did a very good job on the hair cut. Why can't all places treat all customers with respect? Every paying customer regardless of race should be treated with respect. It's common sense to have good customer service to all customers if you want them to return and a good reputation in the community.

The Best Buy Clip..... the worker just asked if u need help? Black man says I’m offended because I felt profiled .... so does this mean we can’t give customer service without offending someone... it’s a thin line and overly sensitive. I do believe discrimination and racism still exist but very little compared to history.

Construction is also the highest paid cash industry in Canada where most taxes are not paid. To discourage customers from using VISA where they aill also be a little protected from the massive fraud and theft in the construction industry, many construction companies also add on another 3.6 percent charge to pay for their own VISA service charges of 3 percent while skimming more fraudulent cream from clients. This is an illegal but permitted crime in the construction trade in Alberta. Many construction workers receive training in construction after going to jail which likely explains the extremely massive fraud in this field, particularly in Alberta.

I ran away from that shitty town sold my house and moved away. Such a disgusting nation with that stinky smell of kerri. They are dirty, smelly, cheap, and have The worst customer service. If you want to live in the dump somewhere in Toronto go live in that punjabi town.

I used to work in customer service and must say it is a little confronting when youre talking to somebody who is masked up.

One time I called a Mexican store (I’m Mexican) for prices of some seafood and the guy didn’t want to give me prices told me to come in twice so I got so mad and I called my husband (who’s white) to call them and ask the same and watched them give him the prices!!! I was like wowww I wanted to go in the next day and tell them why was I getting bad customer service and he got what he wanted cause he is white.

8:20 I know it's because they're racially profiling them and that's bad, of course. BUT I wish employees from Best Buy would offer to help me that fast. Every time I go, either I bug someone to help me, OR I have to figure it out for myself. Best Buy just seems to suck in the customer service department.
