You know that Toronto is a multicultural city, right?

(Truth be told, even after 10 years in Canada I still am not confident enough about my accent to do fursuit videos...)

We have a lot of international customers too and it really is the Americans that comment on the accent. Nobody else cares.

I am Canadian, I worked for a call center for a while that dealt with americans. I constantly had them telling me that when I said "About" it sounded like "A Boot"... uhh if anything it would sound like "A Boat"

*Canadian high five!*

Yeah, I'm like "okay let's not focus on my accent and focus on how I can help you fix whatever it is you need to fix. Password reset? Email coming your way!"

My fave call was from a woman wanting her phone replaced due to water damage. Her upgrade had already been used by another line on her account though. She explained that she dropped the phone in a bowl of milk. Sadly I am a bit of a smartass so I had to answer with "I usually just put strawberries on my cereal." She laughed her ass off.

oh man, getting the ones with a good sense of humor is the best

Then there was the one the supervisor down the row from me got, it was transferred to her and the woman goes:

"I know your job sucks, but maybe if you went back to school and got a better education then maybe you could get a better job."

The supervisor was pissed, her response was:

"I happen to have a college education and I happen to like my job, now I was going to apply that credit but I can just as easily remove it thank you very much."

Which is pretty similar to one I got, tried to explain to a guy how to avoid getting charged for something again cause he had been credited 3 times in a row for something, he started cursing at me and I told him I could take the credit back since it was his fault.

I'm a MS boi who works in a call center, and one of my first ever calls, the guy thought I was Indian. Somehow. Through a Southern accent.

*Call center high five!*

Racists gotta racism somehow!

If i won't get fired for it I'd love to say something like "...An Indian with a Chinese accent, sir?"
