I finally got through after 20+ minutes. The representative told me, yes, they were experiencing heavy call volume.
I said no point in giving you my name but I’ll be avoiding Gillette products in the future. I said the ad was a stupid idea.
I prefaced all that by saying for him to not take it personally, it was not his fault and wished him a good day.
He was patient and respectful.
Bad move, Gillette. The Young Turks? That alone is enough to make me avoid your products.

That was the extra mile of stupid. Bad enough to tick off your customers as a whole, but to compound it by adding a political spin goes above and beyond the call of moronship.
