The organization currently employs 3,000 employees, each of whom receives extensive customer service training before being allowed to interact with customers. Recent issues of Booksellers Journal and Publishers Select magazine have heralded the ality service and friendly atmosphere of the organization. United Booksellers has been praised S the appearance of the facilities, helpfulness and efficiency of employees, wide selection of 28 Client Customer Service & Workplace Relations publications, and intimate coffee shops where patrons can relax and read their purchases over a hot cup of fresh cappuccino. Your Role As a new customer service professional with United Booksellers, you are excited about starting your job, which will require continual customer contact. As a child, you watched your siblings perform customer service functions at the local Burger Mania Restaurant and always thought you'd like to follow their lead. Since you like people, enjoy a challenge, don't get stressed out easily, and have hopes of moving into management, you anticipate that this job should be just right for you.

For that reason, she has instructed you and other employees that you should find a reason not to accept returns and provide refunds whenever possible (e.g., a package was opened, it has been more than seven days since purchase, a receipt is not provided, or the item is being discontinued and the manufacturer will not take it back). She has even suggested that you lie to a customer or make up an excuse rather than accept a return. Further, she instructed you that all returns and refunds must be approved by her, yet when she is paged over the intercom, she typically does not respond and leaves you and other service employees to face an escalating negative customer situation. 1. How does such a service atmosphere potentially impact customers? Employees? 2. What message does this approach to service say about the organization? 3. What are potential outcomes of such practices by the supervisor? 4. What can you and other employees do to address the situation?
