Whoever down voted #27 is not very smart, in the customer service field, you could possibly lose your job if you don't apologize and fix a mistake whether it was your mistake or not. It may suck, but it's the rules.

I feel OP's pain. Working at a call centre usually involves "empathy and ownership" What OP is doing is: 1) Empathising for the other colleagues mistake and the burden it had on the customer... 2) Owning the situation and making it his own... This is all very common practise. If he told the customer "my colleague is an idiot" the customer feels like the rep is white-knighting and arrogant. It also makes the rep's branding in a corporate environment dampened by not "behaving like a team"
