Regardless of how shitty the company is, nothing give you the right to take out your frustration on a total stranger who has done nothing to you. Tbh, I find it very strange. The person in the chat is likely just trying to help you, and you’re making their job a lot harder.
Customer service jobs fucking suck. A lot. They’re probably not even being paid enough for the basic job requirements, let alone getting interrogated/condescended to/yelled at, which they probably experience multiple times per day.
You gain nothing from behaving that way, except to make yourself feel better at the expense of some poor person who’s trying to get by, just like everyone else. There are much better ways to take out your frustration.
a total stranger bot. Seriously, I do not think those are hard asks. I am being condescend to and forced to spend over an hour in the system that they designed. Don’t hate the players, hate this boring dystopia.
You have presented no evidence that they’re a bot. But whatever makes you feel better about it, I guess.
It’s obviously understandable that you’d be frustrated by this boring dystopia. Many are. Fucking constantly. You are by no means special in that regard. The problem is that you have so little control of your emotions that you willingly take it out on an innocent person.
No one is forcing you to behave that way; that is all on you. There is a way to express your concerns to a CSR while also being respectful and polite. That’s not exactly a hard ask, either.
You’re mad. Fine. No need for the entitled, emotional outburst. Has that actually ever worked your favor?
If you’re that fed up with AT&T, get a different service provider. Know that if you do, you’ll have the same things happen there that you feel so incredulous by from AT&T.
Using my code or not please switch to something like this Google Fi or mint mobile and save yourself the money. These greedy telecom giants don’t need it.
Which are the times you’re most likely going to be off wifi (commuting, at an event, lunch break). Not bad if you straight up don’t have Internet at home though.
You have to pay a full year at a time, but Mint has a $15 a month plan. 5 GB of data, but I’m almost always near WiFi, so that’s plenty. I generally use less than 80%, cause I don’t always get that message in the last couple days of the month.
I use Mint (T-Mobile towers), $120 every 3 months. Unlimited calling, texting and data (your speed is throttled after 40GB). Included is 10GB hotspot data. I have absolutely no issues with it.

Greed dumbs down everyone that suffers from it
Sure shows too by the way op is harassing a customer service rep like it’s their fault.

I‘d let you wait even longer.
definitely, but I’m game. I have no choice

Yes, complaining worked in this instance and in many others. Only because I was persistent and demanding. Att could give fuck all otherwise
“an representative”.
Nobody should pay that much for a cellphone.
$25 dollars a month
unlimited text call and data uses Verizon’s network
$20 off your first month with my code:

What’s their data caps before throttling?
It looks like 50gb of data
The 50gb is for the $45 plan. On the $25 plan, Verizon will prioritize others whenever there is congestion.

That’s not bad for the $349 a year price at all, since it also comes with unlimited hotspot. Better than what mint offers.

T-Mobile has the same plan, no commitment. Search for T-Mobile connect plans.
They’re the new cable, especially in the US.
