Fun with Gift Subscriptions
a rough transcript from actual conversations…for your reading pleasure:
Dude (on the phone): Is this Clamor Magazine?
Me: You got it.
Dude: Someone sent me a subscription to your magazine and I want it stopped now. It’s the lousiest piece of garbage I’ve ever read.
Me: Sure thing. We’ll cancel that right away and transfer the remaining issues to the person who sent you the gift…
Dude: I mean, where do you get off calling Bush a killer? What the hell’s the matter with you?
Me: Well…we, um..
Dude: Just make sure I don’t have to see it again.
Me: Okay, Thanks for calling.
—minutes later—
Me (on the email): Dude, that guy you sent a gift subscription called flaming pissed about his subscription. What would you like me to do?
Dude #2: Ha! Mission Accomplished. Just transfer the rest of the issues to my subscription. Thanks!
Me: You got it. Glad to oblige!
