What I am about to say in the following post is racist, then you seriously have never worked in a service industry or customer support position.

Does anyone else on these forums deal with Indian customers on a semi-regular basis at their job? I've worked for 20 years in different areas of customer support/service. And 9 times out of 10, Indian customers are always a nightmare to deal with.

They make simple problems that can easily be resolved more complicated than they need to be. They ask for help, then get upset when you try to do so, because they just want to keep ranting. In 1% of my time working, have I had a positive experience in dealing with them.

Just the other day an indian guy was holding everyone up at the check out line yelling at the clerk that the special was for 50 cents off when the clerk showed him it was for 25 cents. He then yelled and berated him more after that. I came up to the counter and dropped 50 cents on it.

I told the guy i would pay for his item as he was holding up a long line of people and that I had to get somewhere. Then the guy said very angrily "never mind", paid for it and walked off in a huff

I hate generalizing, but it seems like their culture encourages rudeness, disrespect, and being difficult. What's going on here?

I agree totally - when in Rome do as the Romans do - whatever happened to that - if I am in another country, I expect and respect their customs and practices - I would never want to bring what the natives call rude behavior to the table

look at what happens when some father kills his daughter because she got too Americanized and is not following his radicalized wishes ? he is arrested and charged with murder just like any other person in this country. This is America. Learn to live in it with us side by side - I'm not expecting perfection and can appreciate diversity but not rude bad behavior - if you just can't accustom yourself, then go back to your country

i'm just annoyed whenever they call me asking about a client's insurance, asking the dumbest questions that makes you wonder if they even KNOW how to do their jobs. even munching on a mouthful of snacks while talking over the phone.

maybe i just don't like hearing saliva over the phone.

STILL nothing quite depletes the brain cells like talking to pakistani men.
