‘Update my website!’: Client calls IT support after engineer's report doesn't match the facilities description of their website

People working in technical support have seen a lot of funny cases over the years, and this case is definitely one to remember for the IT manager involved.

OP was working for a large pub company based in the UK, in which their chief role was second-in-line support for retail applications. One client opened a ticket after an engineer had come and checked the facilities of their establishment, only to send out a faulty report, leading to the website displaying a facility that the establishment claimed not to have… A pool.

The client wasn't having it, and after a few more checkups, they finally met their match on the phone with OP. They were furious that they had reported the issue 3 times and that the website still said that they had a pool. OP did what IT does… Which is to find the real problem, as opposed to the assumed problem.
