Corporate CSRs never lie

So what is the guarantee that the CSR is truthful? In this era of war on American liberties a kid drawing a stick-man with a gun is charged with terrorism a woman becoming belligerent on phoenix airport is strangled by the cops. Osama has won the war on terror. I think they should have death penalty for anyone that gets irate of being screwed by a big corporation.

That ISP must suck if he went that far.

Eitherway, whatever he said was obviously exaggerating.

If someone really wanted to bomb an ISP, they could do it (without informing a tech support first).

By locking up or fining this guy, they're not solving any problems. Why don't they just make their service better, then the guy will be satisfied.

I Would Like to be on That Jury



Unless they have irrefutable proof, such as a recording, it is his word against the CSR who was probably retaliating against the man. He goes free and ISP/CSR is fined and pays attorney fees. Plus compensates the man for slandering him.

Oh yeah, and for those of you who judge the man based on his mug shot, ears, etc., sure hope you are never called up for jury duty. Of course unless I happen to be the plaintiff and not the defendant.

Aren't most CSR interactions voice-recorded?

Almost all calls to Cust Svc are RECORDED. They may have all the proof they need.

I'm fairly certain most CSR interactions are voice recorded...least, that's what the pre-emptive recording tells me.

That's how I get out of jury duty.

CSR cred

Why didn't he just take a hammer to their local computer, like the Comcast lady did? Heh.

I would not trust the word of a CSR without having a lot more information and knowledge to substantiate their claims that the customer made such statements.

Most call centers keep detailed records going back for years logging every call and conversation, so it's possible they reviewed his history and saw a pattern of complaints/abuse, which upped the cred of the CSR.

Having said that, did the CSR exagerrate to get even with the customer, does the CSR have a reliable reputation with lengthy employment at Embarq, does the CSR speak English, is the CSR located in the United States?

ETC.

Being creepy-looking is not enough evidence.

Welcome to the Terror Era

So a CSR that doesn't like me can have me arrested on a charge that carries a maximum sentence of 15 years of ass pounding with just his word against mine, no proof?

I should have moved to Canada a long time ago...

There comes a point in your life when you get tired of fixing everything and wiping everyone's ass. But it’s not giving up. It’s realizing that you don’t need certain people and the bullshit and drama they bring to your life.

Some are some are not. And if they recorded him without his knowlege then there is another problem.

From the NBC transcript:

"they recorded the conversation, let our deputies listen where he was making specific threats."
