In this quaranti(m)e, here's an interesting story of how Jetblue leveled up their customer service.
Sure it has been talked about earlier, but here is a summary of the story.
Paul Brown ( a blogger) addressed a poem written(apparently on an iPhone notes app) to JetBlue’s Twitter account.
In the poem, he mentioned about how JetBlue may have given up on him by removing the “Never Gonna Give You Up” song by Rick Astley
Interestingly, JetBlue replied.
They leveled up by being super poetic themselves and sai that they're gonna make this right. This was in 2019.
However, JetBlue has not been doing this only until recently. It stretches far back to 2013.The bromance between the two (Paul & JetBlue) started in 2013 when Paul tweeted that he missed having his favourite Starbucks coffee on the small Boston terminal
Jetblue tweeted back that they are going to send him an alternate brand (Dunkin).However what followed is that not just did they send him a Starbucks coffee, but that too his favourite one.
Everyone's happy :)
