One great joy from being successful online has been the luxury of firing customers. If you deal with the public you know the customer isn't always right. For some reason there are people out there that assume because they've given you money they have earned the right to be rude to you.

Now don't get me wrong we go out of our way to help customers especially if they are polite but every once in a while someone will just start with an attitude and there's no helping the situation. So what do we do - we fire their asses. We cancel their order and issue a refund. We respond with something like "We choose not to deal with rude people so we have canceled your order and issued a refund". Now given the fact at how few options our customers have it's incredibly gratifying to hear them grovel afterwards about how they didn't mean to be rude or go in the other direction and spew out a message of four letter words. Either way it doesn't matter because I DON"T NEED YOUR MONEY. This is almost never an option for most employees.

10% of your customers will create 90% of your headaches - fire their asses. :hurray:
