mmmm what a warm fuzzy feeling i'm getting. did you notice there was no apology? so let me get this straight...someone else called me - a middleman - which sells their products so of course this takes away all their responsibility, ok ok that makes sense. so all i have to do is get a list of all their providers and locate the responsible one. so if someone calls you and tells you he's calling from X company, let's say dishnetwork your first thought should be that they're really from somewhere else. yeah that makes so much sense. I DON'T GIVE A FUCK. if you're letting these independent businesses use your name you have a responsibility towards their (your) customers. and of course the best part is that though they didn't call (possibly, not that anyone cares to look into it) somehow my number is removed from their database. how interesting. and then companies are wondering what the hell is wrong with revenues. what a spineless, gutless response. not that i expected better and neither should you.
