Like it or not we have to put up with technology. It is you vs the computer. Errors, they never seem to be in the buyers favor. I think they stopped it, lost too much money doing it, Publix used to give it to you for free if, you found a wrong price.

Typical- you wait on line. There is a mistake. You are directed to customer service, where you have to wait again, sometimes the person in customer service only has the power to call over a manager, while you wait. WE including me are the problem. We shop PRICE but demand expect SERVICE. Some, many go to a place with service, take the PAID FOR by the store SERVICE and they buy it elsewhere by PRICE

The world never was perfect BUT, a computer telling you your call is very important to us. You are not supposed to realize it is a computer-IT ONLY CARES IF THE PROGRAMER TELLS IT TO CLAIM IT CARES.

Medicare computer is one of the worst. There are like 20 options. You are supposed to remember the 20 and pick the right one. Don't ask to repeat, it starts at number one and gives you all 20 all over again. By the tone of your voice I see we have successfully given you high blood pressure. You wait half an hour get through and oops they hang up on you.

Progress? I think Mark Twain said we don't make any progress. As we move forward we lose what was.
