Shout Switch
"...then press 5. If you would like to talk to a human representative, shout loudly in frustration." | |
Basically, a trip switch that senses when a "customer" is getting annoyed with your automated service and puts them in touch with a sympathetic individual from the other side of the world, who still can't help them, but who can at least understand rudimentary English.

I don't like this because the 'shouting point' is where some companies try to operate. In other words, it's the minimum amount of customer satisfaction that they can get away with. |

Besides, if I want to shout at someone, I want that person to be able understand more than rudimentary English. I want them to be fully aware of my ire when I let loose the dogs of war in spoken form... |
