A MAN unable to interpret what a call centre worker in a different country is saying to him is clearly a thoroughgoing racist, colleagues have agreed.
Wayne Hayes’s call to his energy supplier to correct his bill, in which he is suffering some comprehension difficulties, proves he is despite all previous impressions basically an EDL footsoldier.
Co-worker Carolyn Ryan said: “I’m not one to judge, but that’s the fourth time in a row he’s asked her to repeat herself. Is he trying to humiliate her?
“He claims he’s a liberal Labour voter with progressive views on immigration, but he’s basically shaming that poor woman, who’ll be on very much less than minimum wage, by asking her if she knows the phonetic alphabet. True colours? Shown.”
Boss Nathan Muir agreed: “There’s no place in my business for a man who shouts ‘Hayes! Hayes! Like the Hayes f**king car manual!’ down the phone to a woman whose first language is not English and is doing her best. Can he speak Urdu? No.
“In this situation, the onus is very much on Wayne to do the work and break this linguistic stalemate. Instead he’s losing his temper much as Hitler or Nigel Farage would. Monster.”
Hayes said: “I accept I’m in the wrong here. And when I get a revised bill for £55,442 for the quarter it will be my own bigoted fault.”
