Maybe I will start a thread with the title "Youllneverknow rude rude rude"
No, I won't do it. I'll be slightly nicer.

Those Maritz people are so polarized. You either get the sweet grandma that calls you "hun" or you end up with the elderly curmudgeon who knows nothing more than her script and just can't when people make her veer from her script.

Oh, come on, be nice to the old curmudgeons. Check that, be nice to the elderly women.
How about venting without resorting to ageism?

Never try to teach a pig to sing. It's a waste of your time and it really annoys the pig.

Oh Jake. You know I’m only talking about the ones that are even elderlier (seriously, that didn’t autocorrect??) than you!

I've met Jack, nice fellow, LOL.
What's an Oklahoma accent sound like? Similar to a Texas accent since they are in neighboring states? Just curious.

Their schedulers really bother me when I submit incentive requests...you know, the ones they beg me to make. They call, say something like, "We really need this done, how much would it take?" Of course, the shop is probably 4 hours round trip, just driving time. I'll say something like, "Oh, I doubt you guys could pay what I need." They continue to plead for my incentive request. I give it, and then typically hear..."Oh, oh, my, well, that's awfully high, there's just no way we can do that." I really do hate taking their calls. But there are those times when the stars align and I get paid a reasonable fee for my work...so I continue to answer when they call.
Hohu, No one is elderlier than me. No even Mr Dirt..(It did auto edit for me - no such word)
Mary, Good to see you back on the forum. How is your book going? Did it publish?
By the way, I just got off the phone with a 110 year old Maritz scheduler. Spent @ 1/2 hour leading her through the zip codes in an effort to get some shops bonused. Of course I'll have to wait for a supervisor's response and no doubt negotiate some more.

I tried to help them out by making a route of five gas shops they have a hard time getting done. I called and was told to email my offer. No problem. Three days later I get an email that they're thinking about it. By that time my window of opportunity had closed. I did take one shop at a slightly bonused fee because I was getting a big bonus to do a different gas station literally on the same block. The other four? Still on the job board. If they call I will tell them I will do the four for the price I offered for five. Really, no skin off my nose if they don't accept. I just thought I'd short cut the begging phone calls.
They need a map. Heck even a paper map. Any map. California is not next to New York on my map but it is on their map!

What they need is a mapping program that lists not only the address and the city but also the state. Oh, wait they have that already one is called Google maps or any other mapping program.
Why is their mapping "program" off by so many miles? They call to ask me to do a shop that they say is 90 miles away. In actuality, it is more like 125 miles. I sometimes tell them that I don't have the Lear Jet on that day. Their mileage is based on as the crow flies.
It also may be based on zip code to zip code or city to city. Either of those will put the start and end points right in the center.

Okie=more Missouri but with a pronounced twang
Missourians don't speak with a twang.

I was hoping you would chime in on that, LOL.
I found it an odd assertion because after meeting so many people from across the country and the world, it was not uncommon to be told people from this area don't have much of an accent at all.

I spent some time in Detroit for my FT work, and everyone sounded like a news anchor. No accent at all.
As long as we're on the subject....I had a shop recently where the salesperson had the most extreme (and perfect!) example of Connecticut lockjaw or Connecticut clench. It's when you talk without moving your jaw and barely moving your upper lip, and the result is almost a British accent. Think Dr Charles Winchester (David Ogden Stiers) in M*A*S*H. But this salesperson was maybe 20 years old in a bespoke suit (no other employees were in a suit) selling the most mundane of house-ware items in his upper crust accent. I wanted to ask him how he strayed so far from home!

I'm sorry but there are many people in the Midwest who have an accent.
Edited to add:
One of my mom's best friends from Indiana and her whole family had it, a good friend of mine from Chicago has it, and yes, even Lisa has it.

Actually I said we don't have much of an accent. Maybe it is your own accent making everyone else sound like they have one, LOL.

I know what scheduler the OP is referring to, but I would like to remind all you young whippersnappers that the economy tanked and a lot of older Americans who thought they were going to get to retire sooner are still working out of necessity. It doesn't hurt you to be a little patient with them. It could be your grandma. Ever think about that?
This isn't about being patient. There are several people there that are clearly retirees that are thoroughly pleasant day in and day out. This is about the ones that are crotchety every time you call in. I don't care how unfortunate it is that they have to work. You don't treat people like that.

Did you ever consider their attitude has nothing to do with their age? Maybe they have been a-holes all their lives

Ha! You guys crack me up. What I mean is that some of them (okay, mostly one of them) isn't intentionally crotchety or rude. She comes across that way because she always says "wait" because she can't type things in as fast as everyone else. Also her voice is not the most pleasant but she has no control over that. I have found that she is very pleasant when I take the time for pleasantries like "hi _____ how are you today?"
Anyway I'm just a Pollyanna. Pay no attention to me.

@LisaSTL I’ve been an a-hole my whole life and even I can turn it on and off.
