Does anyone get as aggravated as I do when you call an 800 number for Tech Support or some other business transaction and you can hardly understand the guy on the other end of the line. And to top it all off, he tells you his name is Chuck. YEAH RIGHT! Someone told me that you can request to speak to someone based in America, and they have to transfer you. Anyone know if that is a fact?
I know what you mean (but don’t know the answer about requesting an American). Even when you get an American (not for tech stuff, but general help with cable or something), it is often one who would have NEVER gotten a job on the phone twenty years ago. I’m telling you, they are running out of Americans to take low-paying jobs (probably because we are rapidly running out of Americans in general); get used to third-rate service in any case where you have to deal with a low-wage worker. I barely eat fast food anymore, but when I did the orders would be wrong (50/50 in my favor) a lot.
