So I ordered flowers for my mother and grandmother to decorate their homes for the holidays, like you do. And everything went great! At first..
My grandmother recieved her order and called to thank me and we chatted, it was nice. But then my mother didn't recieve her arrangement at the expected time, so I called FTD.
As I was calling FTD, my phone decided that now was the time to flip out and die. Because apparently, it wasn't the droid I was looking for. I immediately called back because the young lady I was talking to was calling local florists to find one still open to deliver her arrangement by that night so they could be seen by her friends at their before-xmas party to prove I'm not a bad daughter!
Instead, I got asked the same question over and over again instead of connecting me to the young lady I was speaking to, was asked for my credit card information to place a new order, and was yelled at and told I was spelling my own last name wrong (what?!). In the meantime, two exact same arrangements arrived at my mothers house because another florist had been contacted.
So then this pops up on Ms. You Can't Spell Your Own Name's screen and she starts demanding for a credit card to pay for the second arrangement that would not have been delivered had she just directed my call to where I asked it to go and not argued with me about my name, address and recipient info (all which no one else had a problem with.)
Is it just me, or has customer service in general just gone down the tubes? I just wanted to send some dang flowers!
