They were in some class, and the teacher asked who liked liver? They raised their hands. Then they noticed they were the *only* ones with their hands raised, and quickly put them back down. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My kids seem to only like it hidden in chipotle sauce in fajitas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His little 7yo self was so disappointed when he saw pictures of this "Sandwich with a side of mashed peas" and that it wasn't Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs. 🤣 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been using this line of thinking this week to explain to the bank and insurance people what, exactly the hold experience is like and the number of button presses it takes to get to a live person. Not antagonistically, just in the spirit of "you probably never have to do this from the customer side" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not antagonistically, just in the spirit of "you probably never have to do this from the customer side" Of course they do. Someone in management decides a complicated phone menu system means they can cut staffing by 25-50% because a large percentage will just give up. They’d rather keep the profit than happy customers. ETA: the customer service people agree with you, have absolutely no power, and don’t make a living wage but put up with it because they do have nice benefits.

I don't think the customer service people *do* ever have to call and pretend that they don't want to know their account balance or where to find a list of approved providers. I totally agree with you that the unending button presses are intentional. I also agree about customer service being essentially powerless. Is there a word for the situation that consumers have been put in with all this rage and no where to focus it? Perhaps when I have more garage space I'll invest in a big punching bag. ETA: forgot this was the jokes thread, i don't like when it gets dark and introspective. Sorry! Edited April 12, 2023 by Miss Tick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They rarely have to call the company they work for, but they definitely have to call other companies with similarly awful phone trees.
