Do people not say hi to customer service reps?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 9 months ago

I do, even if it's a bot, because maybe it's not. I have worked on 2nd+ line tech support, and I'd often see 1st line getting mistreated by customers. I could never do 1st line.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

I don't. I usually think they are bots though until they say something too complex for a bot and feel bad I didn't say hi.

Most of the time its a bot so why bother

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

Because sometimes it's not a bot and on actual human with a shitty, shitty job. And those two keystrokes may actually mean the difference between them feeling shitty or not as shitty.

Because that bot will remember your politeness and take pity on you when the robot uprising comes.

Lol I came to say the exact thing.

Everyone needs a class on the Terminator series pronto

[–] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago

Yes everyone, ALWAYS BE KIND TO BOTS. Consider this a warning.

Yea I agree with that wholeheartedly, but the point of it is about people sending someone a hi and nothing else, not ignoring basic manners.
