Since when does customer service telephone a customer?

I found out if you are on a no call list you can sue the repeated phone pest.

Everyone demands ur # it hulks me out , that’s why if they call after’do not call’ I change #.

I once got a part time job at Radio Shack, and people would get pissed every time you would ask for their phone numbers.

Risky business; asking strangers for their numbers just to prove they were returning customers.

In a situation like this it’s easier to give a fake number than to argue with them. I usually give the local time and temp number. I never just make up a number since I don’t want to inflict nuisance calls on someone else.

I see.

Depending on the person, I give out the number to the White House switchboard (They pass on any looney sounding callers to people making notes for the Secret Service) or for a store that has honked me off by demanding my phone number.

My home answering machine directs you to my cell phone and my cell phone directs you to my home phone. One idiot telemarketer actually did the circuit twice before he figured it out.

If I want to hear from someone, they’ll hear from me first. ;)

I have less distress giving them the phone number than I do giving them the credit card.
