00:00Hello.
00:01Hi, I'm calling from Alex's customer service.
00:04Is this Ryan?
00:05Yeah, this is Ryan.
00:07Hi, Ryan.
00:08I was notified that you left a complaint after visiting our bakery department.
00:13Yeah.
00:14Can you tell me what happened?
00:18Yeah, I came in to get a cake for my five-year-old's birthday party.
00:23Isn't that fun?
00:23Don't they grow up so fast?
00:25Oh, I bet it felt like just last week he was only four.
00:30Yeah, he was four just a week ago.
00:34Crazy.
00:35Yeah, sorry.
00:36Go on.
00:37Go on.
00:37What happened?
00:39Yeah, so I asked for the cake he wanted, which was the Oreo cake.
00:43And I didn't check before I left.
00:45And when we got home, it was just a regular chocolate cake.
00:50Wow.
00:51Yeah.
00:52So, I mean, it was fine.
00:54I'm going to have to tell you to stop.
00:55I'm so sorry to interrupt you, Ryan.
00:58I just need to know, is this an official complaint, Ben, that you got the wrong type
01:02of chocolate cake for, let's see here, $7.99?
01:09Yeah, but I don't think the price of the cake has anything to do with it.
01:13Right, right.
01:14I'm just confirming.
01:15I'm just confirming, Ryan, that this is an official complaint you're filing.
01:21Yeah, it's an official complaint.
01:23It kind of was a big deal for a five-year-old for his birthday.
01:26Great, great.
01:27And three, two, one.
01:31Sir, we are so, so deeply sorry.
01:34Your poor child was forced to eat a cake that wasn't quite the right flavor of chocolate.
01:41What is this?
01:42Especially for $7.99.
01:44I bet for that price, you thought you deserve the world.
01:48Oh, my God.
01:50What was that?
01:52That was our official apology.
01:54So, what?
01:56Your official apology comes with violin music and sarcastic tone?
02:02What is that?
02:02This may come across as surprising, but we get a lot of complaints here.
02:07Oh, yeah, yeah, I'm sure.
02:08Management wanted us to come across as more compassionate and understanding.
02:13That's the reason for the music.
02:14Ah, that's what that was, huh?
02:15Yeah, that's the music.
02:16You're right.
02:16That's the compassion.
02:18That seems to be like the opposite of compassion.
02:21It almost felt like you were making fun of me.
02:23Oh, I don't know where in the world you would get that from.
02:27Right there, in your voice.
02:28You sounded like you were talking to a child.
02:31Did I just hear, is that another complaint?
02:33Is that what that is?
02:35It's more like a suggestion.
02:36I'm just suggesting to you.
02:37Okay, hold on in three, two, one.
02:39Oh, my God.
02:40Because you know we would feel awful if what we said came across as sarcastic or insincere.
02:48Really?
02:49We believe every person with a complaint deserves respect and dignity.
02:53Wow.
02:53Hopefully you can tell from my tone.
02:55I am so very sorry for your suffering.
02:59Wow.
03:00That is...
03:00Right?
03:01That is...
03:01Did that make you feel better?
03:03No, yeah.
03:04It made me feel angry.
03:05It made you feel angry.
03:07Interesting.
03:07Yeah, this is kind of bizarre that you couldn't get a cake right for a kid's birthday party.
03:14Still stuck on that.
03:15And someone made a little complaint, and now you're being kind of a jerk about the whole thing.
03:20No, actually, in fact, I wanted to let you know that after I read your initial email,
03:25I cried at my desk for five minutes straight.
03:28Okay, all right, all right.
03:29Over what your family had to endure.
03:32All right, you've belittled me on this phone call.
03:35You're talking down to me.
03:36You're making me feel like I'm in the wrong here.
03:39Oh.
03:40I demand a refund.
03:41This is troubling.
03:43Oh, she's going to do it again.
03:46First, you came to us with a cake complaint that we ruined a five-year-old's birthday,
03:52even though everyone knows a five-year-old couldn't give a s*** about what type of cake they get.
03:57Oh, the language?
03:58Then you complained again that I came across insensitive.
04:02Listen to yourself.
04:04And now you're demanding a refund?
04:07On a purchase that costs less than a coffee at Starbucks.
04:11I don't even want the refund.
04:12I'd rather just get you fired at this point.
04:14Who are you?
04:14What's your name?
04:15My name is Brooke.
04:16Brooke.
04:16From the radio show, Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning.
04:20Oh, my God.
04:21It's a prank phone call.
04:26Yeah, I get it now.
04:28I should have known.
04:30Hey, your wife, Jenna, set you up for a phone tap.
04:32She said that you were overly upset about the five-year-old's cake situation.
04:37It was stressful.
04:38The kid freaked out on us.
04:40Oh.
04:41Oh, there it is again.
04:42Does that mean that you're upset about what just happened?
04:46Because we feel so, so very bad here.
04:49Oh, that is too good.
04:54Oh, that is too good.
04:54Oh, that is too good.
04:54Oh, that is too good.
04:55Oh, that is too good.
04:55Oh, that is too good.
04:56Oh, that is too good.
04:56Oh, that is too good.
04:56Oh, that is too good.
04:57Oh, that is too good.
04:57Oh, that is too good.
04:58Oh, that is too good.
04:58Oh, that is too good.
04:59Oh, that is too good.
04:59Oh, that is too good.
05:00Oh, that is too good.
05:01Oh, that is too good.
05:02Oh, that is too good.
05:03Oh, that is too good.
05:04Oh, that is too good.
05:05Oh, that is too good.
