I don't think you were abrasive at all, and it's clear the customer service reps were doing their job and trying to help... though my experience is many larger companies DON'T adequately train their employees on the front lines. How many times have I called my Internet/phone service provider and had to politely make the SAME request over and over and OVER again (and then be charged for services I didn't order when the reps got it wrong)? Too many.

Please believe me when I say that politely firm gets more of a positive response than "rant letters." <BR/><BR/>I can sympathize with the poor service but taking it out on service reps (whose hands are pretty much tied, seeing as they aren't in charge of shipping) does very little good. Except to share the misery.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11300219574509906571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3373492091382931118.post-39787241301327334362009-02-13T06:56:00.000-08:002009-02-13T06:56:00.000-08:00Oh come on, you've got to tell us who you were sho...Oh come on, you've got to tell us who you were shopping with.<BR/><BR/>We now know how to get free bras! hahaha.<BR/><BR/>I'm kidding. <BR/><BR/>I've been there.
