According to his resume, at the beginning of his stay in Canada, Péter Márki-Zay worked as a real estate agent with telephone service for five weeks. "One day you ring the bell at one hundred and fifty places, one hundred and twenty will immediately throw you out, somewhere they will threaten you with a report," he discussed his bitter experiences.

From the secret minutes sent by our informant from Toronto, we reconstructed - in a hasty translation - the reason why the large Márki-Zay family does not now live in a property with a swimming pool and palm trees bought with the wealth received from commissions for telephone subscriptions somewhere in Florida - perhaps as a neighbor of Imre Mártha. In other words, why didn't he have a bright career as a housekeeper.

Note 1.

Present: Peter Marki-Zay - salesperson, Daniel J. - Peter's direct supervisor, Matthew W. - complaining customer.

The complainant states that when the salesperson rang the doorbell, only his wife was at home, who – at first sight – let him in due to his attractive appearance and even offered him a seat in the front row. Peter then measuredly announced that he, as an exceptionally talented agent of the best telephone company in Toronto, was always seated in the living room by educated people downtown, but he assured the lady that he would do away with the lack of manners as long as the quality of the coffee was adequate. Although he was not completely satisfied with the coffee, he started to provide information about the price packages.

The lady cautiously noted that her friend has a contract with another telephone company, and it seems to her that the per-minute rates are more favorable there. Then the salesperson condescendingly stated that the other company was corrupt, just stealing, and that their customers were pathetic, driven people who thought they were paying less because they couldn't count. Typically women, he added. Then the complainant got home and after seeing how upset his wife was, he showed the salesman the door, who before leaving stated that the people living in the area were all stupid.

Peter Marki-Zay says: he didn't say anything about what the complainant claims, and otherwise he can't do anything about the inability to explain the features of the fee packages to people below certain IQ levels.

Daniel J. apologizes to Mr. Matthew W. and offers a specially favorable minute rate plan as compensation, as well as reassures him that the salesperson will be sent to a customer management course so that a similar case cannot occur in the future.

Note 2.

Present: Peter Marki-Zay - salesman, Oliver S. - director, Sarah M. - complainant.

The complainant states that the salesperson harassed her several times on the phone, even though she told her that she did not want to change the price package, then one afternoon she jumped in front of the school gate when she was going to pick up her children, stopped her from going further, and then tried to force her to sign the contract. When Sarah said no, the salesperson majestically questioned her as to why she objected if she could write at all. Meanwhile, another parent came and recognized Marki-Zay and indicated that it turned out that his new contract was less advantageous than the old one. To this, the salesperson talked about mushrooms and sarcastically added that only the brainwashed believe that you should save on the lower per-minute rates, it is obvious to people with advanced thinking that the solution is to call less. In the meantime, a minor bankruptcy occurred and almost a crime took place.

Peter Marki-Zay swears on the Holy Bible that the whole story is fiction, and he also believes that God sent him here to uplift ignorant Torontonians.

Oliver S. apologizes to Ms. Sarah M., offers her a free five-year subscription, and assures her that the salesperson will be given a warning, required to undergo more behavioral training, and be transferred to the data recorders for the time being.

Note 3.

Present: Oliver S. - director, Daniel J. - Peter's direct supervisor.

Daniel J.: Sir, there is a problem.

Oliver S.: Isn't that Marki-Zay?

Daniel J.: According to our psychologist, it is hopeless. You can't convince them that customers are people too. Eighty-five complaints and nine police reports in five weeks.

Oliver S.: Kick him out.

Daniel J.: Thank you, Sir!
