The ‘Green' Thing

[peecee]

I miss the olds days:(
And whats happened to old fashioned respect?  Why is it that when you phone:(a company for whatever reason (bills wrong, normal query,complaint) they ask if they can call you by your first name?  I don't want to be live-long buddies of these people, I just want them to fix what I phoned about!  Especially when they sound about 12 years old.  I don't want to put them on my Christmas card list

Unfortunately the only people I come in contact with who want to call me by my first name are Indian call centres
They are desperate to keep the companies who transfered the work to them by British companies who were trying to cut costs and what they offered was a cheaper option.  Many companies have now found out to their detriment 'You pay cheap, you get cheap!  Customer service is what is wanted by people not somebody who only speaks off a card!

Like it says in the anti-drugs campaign 'Just say NO!'

Wasnt such a problem back in the days of two channels.

Are you sure this is the right thread? We didn't have spell checkers in the good old days. P.S. EVERY.

Thanks Colwyn-sometimes when you type or say a word several times, it sounds or looks incorrect.
My spell checker was a dictionary in those days.
