Automated customer service voice ‘apologizes’
The automated customer service operator for Private Diagnostic Clinic at Duke University Medical Center (aka Duke PDC), unable to understand my apparently heavy Yankee accent: I apologize…sorry, I didn’t understand…I still don’t understand…I [Read More]
DISH Network caves in to Better Business Bureau
Second follow-up to DISH Network Sucks… I received a call yesterday from DISH Network. In response to a complaint I had filed with the Better Business Bureau, DISH Network is issuing a refund for the non-service service call for which they had charged me $49.95. This [Read More]
