Address Me

In this story, I am the customer. I am speaking to my isp on the phone because I moved into a new apartment complex that uses the isp's service. I had the service at my previous residence on my own account. I am now trying to cancel that account and transfer the equipment to my new place so I can still use it. The rep I was talking to seemed very polite, but very new. He was working with other people for assistance, presumably via Slack. He kept putting me on hold while waiting for replies from his co-workers. Eventually, he asked if I have the account number for the account that the apartment complex uses. I said I don't have it. He told me that he needed it to be able to transfer the equipment. I asked, can't you look it up by the address? He went quiet for a couple moments, then said, oh ya, hold on. I had to stifle a small laugh. At least he was very nice and did admit he was new.

It's always nice when you get someone who wants to help but doesn't know how to do things yet. Don't worry, the customers will burn that out of him before too long.

oh ya they sure will. I think the call took like 3 hours or so, but I didn't care. I had a lot to do in the new apartment so I just kept him on speaker.

@programmerprimo I just walked around my area at work, helping other people while the customer tried to do what I was asking. *shrug* It usually worked.

@DaddyEvil I worked from home with a wireless headset. I would do laundry and stuff while customers tried to do what I needed them to do
