Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
This is regarding the editorial “Hello–and goodbye.” Amen. While I understand companies trying to be efficient, I resent being kept hostage in the voicemail vortex.
When did wasting customers’ time become a national business mantra? It’s not just the bank and the post office anymore.
