The call back option should be optional, due to the need to shower, run to the store, work etc. |

That's widely baked, though. |

Fully baked by Telus (Canadian Telephone Company) ... one of the very few things they got right. |

I can't remember which company it was (I think it was my bank) that I had to call & go through the automated system. It was a voice recognition system & at some point I got frustrated & yelled AAArrrgh! All I want to do is talk to a Real Person! |
|
|
The automated system replied to my astonishment: "I understand, We can do that" & transfered me to a real person within 15 seconds. |
|
|
I try this with all automated systems now. |

What annoys me with 'customer care' systems is that you're forced through that menu .. 'press 1, press 3, press 2, press 5' .. I've done that when I had a modem problem - I filtered through the system for about 5 minutes only to get 'turn your modem off, then on, it should sort it, thankyou for calling' <click> Thanks a bunch a-holes. |

What we need is a similar system you can apply to your own phone. 'If you are calling to tell me about your other products and services press 1, if you are returning my call press 2, if you want more money from me, thankyou for calling' <click> |
