Oh Gateway Gateway,
Well they have gotten too big for their own good. I have had one heck
of a time getting through to them ! I just had a typical example:
Phone call to Gateway: ( this is not just ONE call but a "standard" GW call)
Get GW recording .... wait wait wait :
Person "How may I direct oyur call"
I "Sales please"
Person "Govt, Business or personal ?"
I (dumbly) "Personal"
Hold .... wait .... wait ... wait
Recording "All sales reps are busy please wait for the
next available"
Hold .... wait .... wait .... wait ... Loooong time.
Person: I'm sorry but all our reps are busy now:
I can take a message or you can try back later.
(Here I have WISED up !, If they take a message ...
FORGET it Gateway NEVER (at least for me) calls back! )
Here I want to CURSE ... but what's the use ... not her fault.
I: "I'll call back later ... (sweetly)"
Now you may say "Don't you kave a "direct no" ?
Yeah, but it's NO better. Maybe worse!
Steam rolls from my ears:
*!#$%$#* Gateway. $^&&$%^!!! em
My $.02
