It takes me less time to go to Walgreens in person and ask for refills than it does to go through their phone maze and eventually talk to someone in a different state who will send my request to a central hub who will then send it to the store I got to 10 minutes ago.

It’s so stupid, but literally the first thing I do is just mash as many buttons as possible. Often, the system will get confused and connect you to a CSR.

Sometimes i want to push 2 for español just to see if they pick up faster 0_0

They gotta be bilingual right???

Yes, but there's nothing worse than listening to 1-1/2 minutes of menu options, pressing a button and get pushed into a 2nd menu. 🙄I've actually spent 3m 20s before I was finally put through with a phone ringing, only to have a recording come on and say "All representatives are currently busy..."

I've waited an embarrassingly long time on hold, as in, i cooked breakfast on speakerphone for 30 minutes and they didn't even pick up until thr 45 minute mark 😆

Years ago I was on SSDI due to an accident. When I came of retirement age for SS I called to see if there was any difference in the $ amount. After over 45 minutes of waiting to speak to someone, I asked. The answer? No, the amounts are the same. We just call them different things." 🙄

Automation has not made things better.

By the time you do get a real human being on the phone you’re frothing at the mouth over the unwarranted wait,terrible music & loop of options from hell.

And the incessant reminders that you can use their website instead! as though you’d willingly suffer through a call if the website could do what you needed
Avatar
That is self evident to anyone with a brain & it annoys me so much when the repetitive recording says that!
Avatar
Still waiting for the one that says "feel free to press whichever keys, the menu is the same as always"

Not to mention, if it's a customer service call, we're probably mad to begin with.

This is happening to me right now, which is why I'm on here looking for a distraction.

I have a speech impediment and hate these things so much.

I like the one that's calling me reg to say please wait to speak to a live representative

"The phone menu has changed..." Wait a minute! It's changed since I called an hour ago?

Keep spamming the zero key. Like, for a looong time. It eventually gives up and puts you in the human queue.

My peeve - automated voice says, "let's get your record, what's your phone # ?, the last 4 of your SS# ?, your DOB ? " Then when you finally get a human rep... " let's get your record, what's your phone # ? ...... "
