We’ve all been subjected to that mounting frustration when customer care services do not put their best foot forward and we have to suffer as a result.

A weary, sweaty and dissatisfied customer Somak Ghosh in Chennai had a bone to pick with UrbanClap after his air conditioner broke down even after the repair man had apparently ‘fixed’ it.

Another UrbanClap employee was promptly sent to fix Somak’s AC to resolve the problem. After which three more stanzas of eloquent poetry were fired off to appease the dissatisfied customer. 

Somak replied in a similar fashion, assuring them that he was no longer angry at them and ended things on a note of goodwill.
