ANOTHER REASON WHY I DO NOT HAVE CELL PHONE.

Also “ Please be patient as we are experiencing higher than normal call volumes” (as compared to what? 3AM Saturday morning?)

It really means “We’re too cheap to hire more than two phone reps who speak English as a fourth language which they only learned by watching Satellite TV reruns of the Flintsones, for the entire customer base”

If our call were really important, they’d treat us better.

And then the immediate population or email “”How would you rate our service?” when you’re done.

Obvious question - how does the phone app differentiate when you are a driver vs a passenger?

I hate otto-corrupt.

Pop-up not population.
