Dude! That's one of the OLD pennies! (See the wheat sheaves instead of Lincoln's Memorial?) They were worth more, back then. THAT must be the difference! LOL!
(Actually, I'm a Math teacher, so if I don't find a way to laugh about this...I'll cry.)
so... apparently where everything went wrong here is verizon charges two tenths of one cent per kilobyte used which is .002 dollars but because both the customer and service combined dollars and cents the customer service representatives clearly got confused and misquoted .002 cents. this guy's bill is correct, two tenths of one cent is .2 cents or .002 dollars times his data usage is 70ish dollars. it sounds like when this guy called to contest the bill he was also misunderstanding the quote.
You don't have to be a mathematician! You have .002 dollars, that is equal to .2 cents! Then you have .002 cents, and that is one hundred times less than that!
Do you realize there's a difference between a dollar and a cent? "Yes." Do you realize there's a difference between half a dollar and half a cent? "Yes." Do you realize there's a difference between .002 dollars and .002 cents? "No."
I'm not very good at math so I can tell the difference between half a dollar and half a penny, but not 2 thousandths of a dollar and two thousandths of a penny. That's not even math. That's just knowing how big a number is.
It's one of those things where, if you are not an idiot, you pause, then realize the answer is obvious. In this case, of course .002 cents is FAR less.
The part that killed me "do you recognize that half a dollar and half a cent are different? Yes. Do you recognize that $0.002 and ¢0.002 are different? No."
@ukingsken "I'm not a mathematician!" "You don't have to be, but if you're in charge of my bills you better be able to figure out how much I'm supposed to pay."
I'm an customer service agent for another large U.S. mobile provider. Do any of you realize that all this d-bag manged to do was mildly inconvenience this customer service rep and his supervisor.
"I'm trying to teach math." Fuck you! Dispute the charges or get the fuck off the phone. Being condescending only made the fuck I was giving about your problem go right out the window.
"I'm going to put this on my blog." How's that new vagina you're sporting? Need help pulling your panties out of it?
@hitman036 hey, u are the type of persons that hate their job.. find one that u like and you GTF out!!
if you are in customer service your job is to know what you will need to talk about. its like if you work at mcdonalds and dont know what the fuck you are selling
@nalgasdehule - Oh, I agree. I hate my job and think the agent in this scenario is retarded. However, the customer's douche-baggery didn't get him anywhere. It usually doesn't.
@hitman036 Verizon is wrong. You customer service reps don't know what you're talking about half the time. He was trying to dispute the changes; however, Verizon's agents were too stupid to know basic math.
I do agree that that "I'm going to put this on my blog" shit was stupid.
@hitman036 I also work in Customer Service. This is a terrible job by agent and supervisor to get to the root of the issue. They deflect it by keep bringing up his usage rather than just focusing on the question. IF they had stopped to realize it's their job to HELP the customer, they would've realized their calculation error. "I'm not a mathematician???" - Any GOOD customer service would find a mathematician if it would resolve an issue. Telecommunication companies have the WORST service.
@hitman036 you should have done it because it's the right thing to do in this case. Sometimes, there are things you do to make your job easier, but it's not this time.
@petermazzucco - You are 100% correct. The supervisor, especially, was bad. She pretty much told the customer that because she wasn't competent enough to resolve the problem, he was S.O.L.
@rusty0tea Absolutely not. Both the agent and the supervisor did a terrible job of handling this call, and have no place at Verizon, or should be properly re-trained to see that this was error and make it right. I'm simply stating that the customer did himself no favors by being condescending.
@hitman036 And it's people like you who will get fired and someone who deserves the job will take your spot.
If you ever were this stupid, you deserve to be insulted.
There's a reason that you're working as a customer service agent and I'm a graduate student at my college teaching calculus to freshman who have an intelligence far beyond yours and anyone who works with you.
I'm making a living and getting educated while your insignificant life is going nowhere.
@SniperrelyT - Oh, I get it. Because I work in customer service, you're clearly better than me. I hope you get a sense of purpose from teaching a class taken solely because it's required.
And FYI, no one deserves to work in customer service and get belittled by people such as yourself. Well, except for people such as yourself.
If you only knew how many times a guy like you has been inconvenienced by a guy a like me simply because it makes me laugh. Your food's probably been spat in, too.
@hitman036 Actually, I am completely respectful of everyone I meet in my life. But, as evident by the way that everyone has disagreed with you, you deserve the disrespect I gave you.
I don't get a sense of purpose teaching the most failed class at my university because it's too difficult. But the fact that I'm 22 and doing a better job of helping people than someone who has a job centered around that is rediculous.
@hitman036 And FYI, if you have "incovenienced a guy like me" because you have no worth in your job, you deserve the disrespect I gave you. I hope you lose your job tomorrow and someone who actually needs the job takes your place.
And, yes, I am better than you because you work in customer service. But it's not that you're in customer service, it's that you are you. People like you deserve complete disrespect and nothing out of their life.
@SniperrelyT - I'm tomorrow off, so I don't think I'll be fired. I actually won't be fired at all because I'm extremely good at my job. It's talking to smug pricks, like yourself, that make the job difficult. We're usually very pleasant and will go out of our way to help you (at least I will), when you can treat us like human beings... something you've displayed an inability to do during this conversation. So I leave you now. Thank you for your business and have a great day.
What's so smug about telling a fucker like you that you need to get over yourself and help the customer? To quote someone below, "You are what is wrong with this country. Don't breed."
@hitman036 He needs to put this on his blog because it's hilarious. And no he doesnt need to be considerate when the rep and his supervisor clearly showed no sign of consideration for the customer's problem. You only need to show respect to others the way they respect you.
@hitman036 I get it that people need to be considerate of other people's jobs. Sometimes, it's not the rep's fault that you get charged wrongly (well most of the time it's not), but when you politely explained your situation and the rep is being too incompetent to solve your problem and act like they are all that then yes it is the rep's fault!
My Sprint contract is up and I was thinking of a switch to Verizon. Not anymore. Any bill disputes I've had were rough to handle, but at least they knew basic math. I am nerd raging so hard right now.
@sittal Don't worry, this was fixed long ago. (note the video was released in 2007). Occasionally some stupid people exist (but that's always true). This is a user error (reading .002 as .002 cents because they don't know math). As a carrier, though, Verizon is great.
the funniest part of it all (i listen to this vid for a good laugh) but the whole time they are talking dollars and at the end she says "we are not quoting .002 dollars sir we are quoting .002 cents, man i love this video, just the pause in the answers they say just give me the time to laugh and for friends that has not heard it i see there expression to know they don't know the difference lol tmobile/att is gonna tear them open
On first listen, I 100% agreed with the customer's point of view that Verizon is not reading the price correctly. After some thinking, I can see how Verizon has a valid point of view. It's the representatives' opinions that $0.002 is read as "point zero zero two" cents, which is actually valid merely because that's how many (most?) people would read it. The problem arises because one would read "0.002 cents" in the exact same way, despite it having a different value. That confuses customers.
@fuzzyboy50 That's wrong. Saying "two cents" would be $0.02 not $0.002. To avoid the ambiguity, they should say "point zero zero two DOLLARS" or "two tenths of a cent" or "two thousandths of a dollar".
"It's the representatives' opinions that $0.002 is read as "point zero zero two" cents, which is actually valid merely because that's how many (most?) people would read it."
Is totally wrong. Most people would read $.002 as "point zero zero 2 dollars"as that is the notation.
Only an ignorant child would read a dollarsigned number with the word "cents" at the end.
@JRBeaman Actually everyone reads dollar-signed numbers with the word "cents" at the end. For example, $0.02 would nearly always be read as "two cents" instead of "point zero two dollars". That's kinda my whole point. People are used to reading the part after the decimal point as "cents".
The problem the guy had is everyone at Verizon reads this number $0.002 as "point zero zero two cents". That is not the right way to read the number. They should say "point zero zero two DOLLARS" or "point two cents" or "two tenths of a cent" or "two thousandths of a dollar". When talking about money, people are simply used to calling the part after the decimal point "cents", but that doesn't work when reading the decimal point, like reading $1.23 as "one dollar and POINT two three cents"!
@Red62 I don't know what to tell you. You're simply wrong. Wikipedia, Encyclopedia Britannica, and generally everyone who knows what they're talking about will tell you that Mexico is part of North America. In fact, Wikipedia and Britannica both include all of Central America in North America.
Have you ever heard of NAFTA? You might want to look it up.
@Red62 I like how you got owned three straight times. Having nothing left because you're completely stupid, you tell him he has no life. So, going around to videos and bullshitting about "Only in America..... only in America......." means that you HAVE a life? Ha!
@Wonton118 Hey: I studied for robotics, not geography. You wanna talk idiots, I can talk idiots for you, but to be honest, I do'nt understand why the other guy is trying to use such a big demeaner and ego on me: all I said is that i've seen waaaaaayyy too many idiots in my life time and they're all in around the north americas (sone living very close to me), that's it.
I wouldn't pay, and when they would try to land me in trouble because of it I would take them to court under Canada Trademarks Act. Yes, it's sounds like a bit much over 71 dollars but I could try and sue them for lolz.
Or 0.71792 dollars. The problem here is they automatically assume that when it has no number before the decimal they think it's in cents, yet when they see the number they were hoping to expect you to pay they assume it's dollars. It's a either really cheap deal they're working out wrong or they're given the quote in wrong units.
@Charmolution Sorry, but the results of 2+2 is not an opinion, it is a mathamatical fact to be 4,
And not what ever you want it to be, or some number that makes yu feel good. Putting it on paper or not does not change the correct answer, are you really that stupid, or is this a joke?
Dude! That's one of the OLD pennies! (See the wheat sheaves instead of Lincoln's Memorial?) They were worth more, back then. THAT must be the difference! LOL!

Next step
KB/.00002 dollars * 71 dollars = 71/.00002 = 3550000
so for his bill to be 71 dollars, he would have to use 3550000 KB or 3550 MB or 3.5GB of data...He was alleged to have used 35893 KB or 3.5MB.
3.5GB != 35893 KB.

On first listen, I 100% agreed with the customer's point of view that Verizon is not reading the price correctly. After some thinking, I can see how Verizon has a valid point of view. It's the representatives' opinions that $0.002 is read as "point zero zero two" cents, which is actually valid merely because that's how many (most?) people would read it. The problem arises because one would read "0.002 cents" in the exact same way, despite it having a different value. That confuses customers.

Then they should've just stuck with saying 2 cents. Thats what $0.002 is. Maybe its some marketing technique to make the numbers seem better...

No...$0.002 is 0.2¢, not 2¢.
EdWatts 10 months ago 5
@fuzzyboy50 That's wrong. Saying "two cents" would be $0.02 not $0.002. To avoid the ambiguity, they should say "point zero zero two DOLLARS" or "two tenths of a cent" or "two thousandths of a dollar".

@FishDawgX Sorry but your comment:
"It's the representatives' opinions that $0.002 is read as "point zero zero two" cents, which is actually valid merely because that's how many (most?) people would read it."
Is totally wrong. Most people would read $.002 as "point zero zero 2 dollars"as that is the notation.
Only an ignorant child would read a dollarsigned number with the word "cents" at the end.
JRBeaman 4 months ago
@JRBeaman Actually everyone reads dollar-signed numbers with the word "cents" at the end. For example, $0.02 would nearly always be read as "two cents" instead of "point zero two dollars". That's kinda my whole point. People are used to reading the part after the decimal point as "cents".
FishDawgX 4 months ago
@FishDawgX >>>"$0.02 would nearly always be read as "two cents"
This is correct. But that also means $0.002 should be read as .2 cents and that's not what they guy was quoted.
electrictroy2010 3 months ago
The problem the guy had is everyone at Verizon reads this number $0.002 as "point zero zero two cents". That is not the right way to read the number. They should say "point zero zero two DOLLARS" or "point two cents" or "two tenths of a cent" or "two thousandths of a dollar". When talking about money, people are simply used to calling the part after the decimal point "cents", but that doesn't work when reading the decimal point, like reading $1.23 as "one dollar and POINT two three cents"!

.002 U.S. cents x 35 896 = 71.792 U.S cents.
Or 0.71792 dollars. The problem here is they automatically assume that when it has no number before the decimal they think it's in cents, yet when they see the number they were hoping to expect you to pay they assume it's dollars. It's a either really cheap deal they're working out wrong or they're given the quote in wrong units.

In reality, 2 + 2 = 4, but if you put it on paperwise, 2 + 2 can equal whatever the hell you want! Don't forget, it's just a matter of opinion.
