Google not allowing comments on their blogs is pitiful. If you’re going to own a site named Blogger.com, you should at least practice the art of blogging. A blog w/o comments is just an online newspaper or diary, and probably as boring.
There should be a yearly review of English skills for all call center employees. If you can’t speak the language of the person on the other line, you are failing at your only job.

Thank you and make with the comments, I’m lonely.

ah, sorry man. here’s one. it’s pretty controversial, but after ‘hello, am i speaking with chad/robert/debra swope?’ if i detect any scent of an accent, i hang up. if the call mattered, they’d call right back and we’d have a laugh at how mean i am to call center employees.

Truth be that. I like the method. I signed up for the National Do Not Call Registry eons ago and it has seemed to work like a charm, though I’m strictly cell phone so I don’t know how it would be with landlines.

I also get quite upset when someone calls me, I answer, and it’s a recorded message saying “Please hold while PERSON X contacts you.” That’s like going to someone’s house and shooting their cat in the face.
