Today I had the great joy of calling a customer service line for assistance with a product I purchased.
Of course I'm lying... because having to endure "customer service" today is far from a joy. With rare exception, I hardly ever have a satisfactory experience. Most every time I call or write, it's as if they don't listen to a word I'm saying. Maybe they're overworked. Maybe they just don't care. But whatever the reason, I might as well be talking to a brick wall...
It's days like today that I wonder why companies even bother with customer service in the first place.
I love comments! However, all comments are moderated, and won't appear until approved. Are you an abusive troll with nothing to contribute? Don't bother. Selling something? Don't bother. Spam linking? Don't bother.

Customer service has been in a consistent decline for a good 15 years now. It’s rare that I come across decent customers service anymore. When I do, I always make sure to thank the person so that they don’t give up and start giving shitty service thinking no one cares anymore.
I knew I had to get out of the general customer service industry. After 8 years I was so burnt out from the drudgery that I was just miserable all the time and it showed in my actions with the customers.
I feel bad for people who work the bottom rungs of customer service like I did for so many years. It’s a shitty job that’s so thankless, most of the time the bosses threaten you with being fired on a daily basis. I still don’t know how people make it their careers.
