I don't mind using automated services for minor things. I know it makes it easier for the company.
But WHY do they make it so freakin' hard to get a real person when you need one? Some questions can't be answered by a machine!
I was so mad the other day when my DSL internet was down. I couldn't connect to the Internet at all. I called the company's DSL support number. I got an automated voice message that said "For technical support, please visit our website."
WTH? How in the heck am I suppossed to get on a website when my Internet is not working? I called some different numbers and got a real person. But I made it a point to talk to a manager and let them know how ridiculous their tech support message was.
