Customer Service Skit Highlights Cancellation Fee Disputes and Policy Adherence
In a hypothetical scenario highlighting common customer service challenges, a representative named Veronica recently navigated a contentious call regarding a reservation cancellation. The customer sought to cancel a booking for three individuals but objected to the standard $150 per person cancellation fee, citing illness as the reason for their inability to travel. Veronica, adhering to company policy, informed the customer that the reason for cancellation does not exempt them from the fee. She further noted that the customer had previously received a fee waiver as a courtesy and was advised at that time to consider purchasing travel insurance for future bookings, an option they reportedly declined. Despite the customer's insistence and threat to call back for a different agent, Veronica maintained that detailed notes on the account would ensure consistent information from any subsequent representative. This interaction underscores the complexities faced by customer service professionals in upholding company policies while managing customer expectations and frustrations.
