Flame on (steam and smoke)
I forgot how to tftp my router config file to the router (you know, config?).
So I looked in the manual, and couldn't figure it out from there (no surprise
with those cisco manuals, eh?). So I called cisco with what I thought was a
real simple question.
Then I got connected to Karen at cisco. She asked me for my serial number. I
don't know it. She told me it is on the back of the router. So, like I sit
close to the router, right? I told her my name and company and asked her to
look it up. She said she doesn't have that capability! This from a technology
company! I told her what I needed then made a snide remark about the router
company that "claims" to desire to provide the best service in the business
can't even figure out my serial or answer a stupid question! I told her I've
only had the router since November, so I'm still under warranty.
So then she starts to get rather snotty with me.
Tell me, is this any way for a company that wants to provide excellent service
to act? Mind you, mine was, indeed, a stupid question on how to do a simple
thing. I told her I was still under warranty, but that didn't matter. She
told me she can't know that is true. Give me a break!
Flame off
Well, I feel better, anyway...
Alright, so maybe the snide remark was uncalled for, but I was getting a bit
steamed that a technology company can't even look up a customer by customer
name!
