Old Dust Posted January 18, 2011 Report Posted January 18, 2011 I always request a person from the United States of America. Give this a try... I want to ask each of you to consider doing the following when you are talking on the phone to any US customer service representative that is based in a foreign country (like India ). I have done this twice and it works! Any time you call an 800 number (for a credit card, banking, charter communications, health insurance, insurance, you name it) and you are transferred to a representative (like in India), please consider doing the following: After you connect and you realize that the customer service representative is not from the USA (you can always ask if you are not sure about the accent), please very politely (very politely - this is not about trashing other cultures) say, "I'd like to speak to a customer service representative in the United States of America ." The rep might suggest talking to his/her manager, but, again, politely say, "Thank you, but I'd like to speak to a customer service representative in the USA ." YOU WILL BE IMMEDIATELY CONNECTED to a rep in the USA . It only takes less than one minute to have your call re- directed to the USA . Tonight when I got redirected to a USA rep, I asked again to make sure - and yes, she was from Fort Lauderdale . Imagine if tomorrow, every US citizen who has to make such a call and then requests a US rep, imagine how that would ultimately impact the number of US jobs that would need to be created ASAP. Imagine what would happen if every US citizen insisted on talking to only US phone reps from this day on. If I tell 10 people to consider this and you tell 10 people to consider doing this - see what I mean...it becomes an exercise in viral marketing 101. Remember - the goal here is to restore jobs back here at home - not to be abrupt or rude to a foreign phone rep. If you agree, please tell 10 people you know and tell them to tell 10 people they know....etc...etc... John Old Dust Quote

Oges Posted January 18, 2011 Report Posted January 18, 2011 Yes the millions and billions they spend on space exploration does seem to be a waste and of no benefit to us on Earth ... BUT IS IT?? http://space.about.com/od/toolsequipmen ... inoffs.htm http://spaceplace.nasa.gov/en/kids/spinoffs2.shtml Quote
Vector01 Posted January 18, 2011 Report Posted January 18, 2011 Yep...I've talked to "Peggy" on many occassions After about 5 minutes it gets a bit frustrating I'll give it a try the next time I have to call customer service that outsources. Quote
Lastchance Posted January 19, 2011 Report Posted January 19, 2011 "Is there something in space we can or will ever use?" Yes there is, but it's top secret and if I tell you, the little green men will come and erase your memory. So, it's not worth the effort of telling it all to you again for the third time this week. Sorry . Quote
