Do you think that the automated voice prompted systems on the phone can sense my attitude? Seriously. I hate those things. I just want to talk to a real person. Not someone that sounds like a nice lady. I want an actual nice lady. I tried ordering my prescriptions over the phone today. I would have done it online, but I didn't have my patient ID number that they needed, so I called the phone number listed, thinking they could give me the patient ID. Instead I got the voice activated system. Totally impossible with two screaming toddlers.
Fake phone lady: "Would you like to place an order for your prescription?"
Me: "Yes (with Jackson screaming in the background)"
Fake phone lady: "I'm sorry, I didn't understand you. Would you like to place an order for your prescription?"
Me: "YES!"
Fake phone lady: "Okay. Please say your prescription ID number"
Me: "1-0-0-1-2-JACKSON! WE DON'T PLAY IN POTTIES!"
Fake phone lady: "I'm sorry, I didn't understand you. Please say your prescription ID number"
Me: "1-0-0-1-2-2-3-5-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH"
Fake phone lady: "I'm sorry, I didn't understand you. Please say your prescription ID number"
Me: "1-0-0-1-2-2-3-5-7-5-8-9"
Fake phone lady: "Okay. Did you say '1-0-0-1-2-2-3-5-7-5-8-9'?"
Jackson: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Fake phone lady: "Please say your prescription ID number"
This went on for 2 prescriptions ID numbers and a credit card number. I really do hope that a supervisor was listening in on this call for quality assurance, like the disclaimer said. Maybe they will get a clue that these systems suck!
That's funny...I tried, yesterday, to make a call to my bank....I got a message on line that I needed to change my username and password....I THINK NOT! By the time I tried 4 times to enter my account number I was ticked off, I thought I was going to have a heart attack...same thing..."I'm sorry that is not a valid account number...YOU MUST ENTER A VALID ACCOUNT NUMBER".....REALLY???? That's what I trying to do....I hung up and called my local bank....nope I didn't need to change anything......weird.....HATE AUTOMATED PHONE SYSTEMS....I'm going to use lower case letters, now! Sigh!
