Ron- You are quite welcome! My patience has been worn thin by having to set up and cancel utilities, newspapers, etc. over the last two months. Cable is the worst!
Craig - It's always nice to be missed.
Chick - I keep thinking that the online chats will be easier because I don't have to hear the accent, but honestly, a lot is still lost in translation.
I know the feeling. Someone on the other end of the line who simply doesn't understand what you're talking about, let alone know how to fix the problem.
I don't blame Rudy. I blame the lawmakers in our own country who have made it legal and cost-effective for big businesses to outsource our jobs and still claim to be American companies, all the while raking in huge tax breaks. I'm with Pogo Possum on this one - we have met the enemy and he is us.
Nick - I usually have to explain to them how THEIR system works. It's just sad.
Sailor - It's fun to google the problem and see how many other people are experiencing the same exact problem all over the country!
Agent - I don't disagree, but as much as I'd love to blame the federal govt for poor customer service in America, that really lies on the shoulders of 80% of the businesses today. Or at least the ones I frequent, unfortunately.
LOL. i can hear the subcontinent lilt in the speaking of "rudy."

Hey Bijoux, So good to have you back, it's been hard holding up the blogosphere without you :^)

ReplyDeleteHooray, you're back!
ReplyDeleteGahhhhh, I loath the call-center, every one of them. Hope you got everything squared away :)
