Same thing with bill collectors.
If you’re on the
phone sweating people for money – you’re getting
ready to be obsolete. A computer doesn’t care
about getting cursed out and hung up on. I can’t
tell you how many telemarketers I’ve sent to
therapy by questioning their career choice and
asking is this what they envisioned in school at the
graduation – I want to call people for a living and
have them talk about my mama.
In the future if you don’t have the money there’s no
lying and stalling with a weak minded human.
If
you don’t pay immediately they’ll taze you over the
phone. A lot of people will get tazed. They’ll be
hitting you up on blocked numbers and tazing your
butt.
Customer service – won’t need ya. It’s all a sham
anyway.
To get anything done you need a
supervisor and the system has already put you in
the mindset for that not to be too easy.
They
started by having customer service manned with
people you can’t understand.
And the thing is
they can’t understand you either. So by the time
you phonetically get a handle on part of the
problem you’re so happy you just learned an
apportion of a foreign language you realize it’s
going to take another 40 minutes to get this tongue
warbler to understand ‘supervisor’ you just call back
hoping to get somebody else. You get his sister.
So if you can see a robot replacing you it’s time for
some training in another field. Believe it or not one
day they won’t need comedians. It will be robots
making other robots hum or buzz. But by then I’ll
be so old they’ll have me in a glass case in a
preservationist compound.
I’ll be in the relic
section holding a microphone and robot kids will
ask me what is that and I’ll tell them in my human
voice and then they’ll taze me.
Ouch.
