Tips from
Calvin & Hobbes
on How to be a good customer
Not All Customers Are Always Right.
IN FACT, This might surprise you, but some
of them can be tyrants.
Some Make Unreasonable Requests.
Others Are Rude.
Yet Others Assume They’re Entitled.
Don’t Be Like Calvin. Here’s How You
Can Be A Good Customer…
Good Customers Respect Company Policies.
GOOD CUSTOMERS Trust support reps. they
know they’re just trying to help.
good customers remember that
support reps are people too.
GOOD CUSTOMERS try to help the
support rep solve the problem.
Good Customers Aren’t Stingy
With Compliments.
Good Customers Share The Good Times.
Oft Times, Support Reps Get Annoyed
With The Way Customers React To The
Support Process…
but the truth is…
Also, customer support makes the
universe a better place.
The End!
Now Go Be The Good Customer
And Spread Joy.
