Verizon Customer Support Hell

Three levels of employees can't do 6th grade math. Wait for the excruciating pain when the floor supervisor takes over. Incontrovertable proof of an empire's decline.

I made it 45 seconds and then my head and hope for humanity started to hurt real bad.

Incontrovertable [sic] proof of an empire's decline.
The customer support people were in Canada.
Good to know the Canadian Empire is finally in decline. I knew that poutine and time would wear them down!

Time for me to park the Empire in the recliner, if you know what I mean.

I'd never seen it before. Best line:
Caller: So do you understand that there's a different between .002 dollars and .002 cents?posted by gsteff at 8:30 PM on May 14, 2007 [1 favorite]
Supervisor: Yes.
Caller: Then can you tell me what the rate is?
Supervisor: .002.
Happily, Verizon's new support staff in Bangalore is much better at math.

No, the customer support people were not in Canada. Verizon doesn't do business in Canada.

Agreed - the customer support people don't have any sort of a Canadian accent.
