I work for a huge company & I can explain why Customer Service is dead & not coming back. 1. Companies do not want to pay decent money for Customer Service employees in America & have outsourced them to India & the rest of Asia 2. Americans for the most part do not want these jobs & can make the same money living off the government & not have to get screamed at all day by Totalitarian Karens. 3. AI, Chat, & technology are getting used more & more every day. Most people 30 & under are completely terrified by talking to anyone on the phone.


I think you missed the biggest one: companies would rather pay cheap labor and make you grind out a solution than just offering to make it right, because it’s more profitable. If it takes a hours for you to exchange a pair of $50 shoes, you will likely wind up keeping the shoes. All they had to do was develop and AI gatekeepers and pay someone overseas $4/hr to tell you they are sorry and they are escalating the issue and to not worry.

I can't recall the last time I took the time to listen to a voicemail on my personal cell phone.

If you don't get a response you like from any corporate customer service, hang up and call back. Chances are pretty good the next person tells you something completely different.

OP is spot on. Quality customer service is a point I’ve harped on my kids during their high school and college jobs. Learn how to provide exceptional customer service and you’ve got 99% of your competitors beat these days.

When I was a little kid I thought it was neat that some adults had pocket pagers . And there were pay phones everywhere.

I have lost faith in this world. Idiocracy is not coming, it is here. It is real. Any retail establishment I go to, the people are basically retarded. They can barely make a sentence. They don't understand anything and most of them look like zombies. Really, I leave about 60% of the retail establishments I go to now and move on to another and hope it is only slightly as bad. It is awful.

I hear about a living wage. These folks don't have the smarts or skills to even keep themselves alive. They must be relying on doordash for food. I know they can't gather it or cook it themselves.

Sorry for the rant, but it is alarming. I just can't see good things ahead for our country. No matter what we do. We are just too stupid as a whole.
