You Know What Really Grinds My Gears? Now with 3x more gears...

[Ped]

Big companies and their useless support websites and AI chats and AI phone bots that all accomplish nothing, and then you have to waste time trying to find an actual phone number for an actual person.

[Shazam]

It’s the future!

Even without AI you know this is the wrong way to live your life.

I wasn't belligerent or rude but I did give them ####. They tried to explain it away saying it was an unusually busy day, I guess it just happened to be a busy day last year when I came in. Then another unusually busy day at the 2nd location I had to drive to. Wasn't a small branch either, Southcenter CIBC.

Yeah, no one thinks it's incompetence, they have numbers that have been adjusted for what's on hand. Banks want to discourage the use of cash so they make it less convenient.

I went to the Kensington RBC today, and not only was it closed, the ATM's were also inaccessible behind locked doors. Is that normal for a Saturday at 11? They really don't want us using cash anymore.

I got a settlement cheque from a class-action lawsuit against Banks over-charging vendors and I went to the Bank to cash it.

"Oh do you want me to put it into your account?"

You want me to take the money your bank gave me for grifting me and give it right back to you?

Naw...Cash son. Now.

"We dont have that much cash tho!"

Figure it out. Your problem. Not mine.

I’m starting to like it because I know the get-around and I’m getting right through to a person because the actual humans aren’t busy anymore since no one else knows how to get past the AI chatbots.

What I like is the constant reminder that their ####ing useless website exists. Do you not think that if I could accomplish what I needed, I wouldn't have done that already? You taint guzzling yak rapers?

I like when they read out the name of the website, including “www”.

Because we’re all that stupid.

“We are currently experiencing higher than usual call volume” is such bull#### and they all know it. They also know we won’t do anything about it, except maybe hang up, which is usually a win for them anyway.

Yeah, that's the one that gets me. You've been experiencing higher than normal call volume every day for 38 months now, and been so overwhelmed you haven't been able to do anything to address it. Sure.

I had to visit a branch with my son who is now an adult to transfer control of his savings over to him. When I got to the branch, it was closed. On a Friday. A check of the website shows that branch now only operates Mon-Thurs.

And they face you with imbeciles so that you feel guilty about snapping on them.

Well you can’t get mad at the front line workers, it’s not their fault!!!

Airlines do this too. Some c word in the boardroom got a big bonus for money retention by hamas’ing front line workers you are not allowed to snap on for actively stealing from you.

My old bank! LOL. They were a PITA in 2000, sounds like they are still a PITA.

[TorqueDog]

My bank is the worst, I deal with Scotia. Wanna deposit cash after work? Nope, branch closes at 5 and the ATMs are not accessible after-hours, even with a client card. Oh, you can use the sketchy outdoor ATM on 7 Ave @ 7 St, except the touchscreen is completely buggered so you can’t actually do anything once your PIN is entered.

If they were honest:

“We’re experiencing longer wait times due to significant layoffs and haven’t bothered retaining or hiring more CSRs to keep service at a reasonable level. Whatever services you have with us, don’t worry, we’re increasing rates soon.”

“You called during lunch and half our CSRs are at the food court grabbing some Panda Express, so it’s gonna be a while.”

They all wfh.

Uber eats just never arrived. Zero ability to contact the on phone or otherwise. Drivers just cancel 80% into the process and you can’t do schists about it. No recourse.

So putting “ will only fata in arse” in the special instructions doesn’t help?
