Apple CSR accuses me of abusing live chat...

Dude, they couldn't help you via live chat. End of story, and that also should have been the end of the conversation. Dragging it on and on, having a policy discussion, to no end and for zero purpose -- you are wasting people's time, no one cares you are displeased or disagree with the policy.

 

define 'hostile.' Did they tell you off? Curse at you? Or are you just in an excited state because something didn't work out the way you hoped it would?

 

He's doing the lords work. People need to voice their opinions otherwise things just stay the same and consumers get screwed. People monitor the chats, maybe, most likely not, but maybe the quality control person will raise this concern to someone higher up the chain .

 

Tip your fedora and say good bye.

 

I SAID good day!!

 

Hostile?

Earlier this week, a dude rolled a stop sign (with some jalopy in tow behind his pickup truck) to pull out onto a four lane roadway with a 45 mph limit. I hit the brakes hard to not hit him. In his mind, however, I didn't slam on my brakes hard enough - this apparently caused him some concern. That dude was hostile. He couldn't show me enough fingers - and that was just the beginning of it...

You picked what must be one of the busiest days of the year to try to discuss policy change with them, via chat of all things. It's clearly not the time nor the place.

Maybe you can send an email to Tim Cook - or post to his twitter account. Find a better way to convey your concerns.

And if you would like to see hostile, I can probably introduce you to my friend in the truck.

 

It's not Apple's issue.
It's dictated by AT&T and Apple is acting as their agent.
If you didn't like it you shouldn't have placed the order as it's explained clearly during checkout.

 

and now you're abusing these forums? what's wrong with you...

 

FWIW, I got Apple's customer service on the phone in under 5 minutes and my entire call took <10.

 

You acted like a jerk. They told you they could not transfer you to customer service via chat and you kept badgering them. That is just loony on your part.

 

true. how can they transfer you when in fact you're using a chat live. that's a different process. almost all customer service is thru phone only. same thing when i am on the phone with someone, i don't think they would be able to transfer me to chat live.

 

This and

This.


OP, you seem to think things should always work your way. It's just not like that.

 

Post the transcript - otherwise, you were probably being abusive.

 

Ughhh I hate customers like OP. What pleasure did you get from giving a chat CSR a hard time? Do you really think he has the authority to change Apple policy :lol:

I'm glad everyone in this thread called you out on it.

 

shesh entitlement...

 

Post the chat log. Then we can make sense of all this.

 

Not sure someone would really have that around 2 years later...

 

Yep, wondered when someone was going to notice.

 

Wow, didn't notice the date. it was on the front page so I assumed it was a recent thread.

 

It's not possible for it to be on the front page, as that's sorted by date. Perhaps you were looking at "Related Threads" at the bottom of another thread you were reading.

 

You've been a member of this site for awhile, why would you reply to a thread 2 years later with no relevancy whatsoever?

 

because he/she is human and can make mistakes....
or maybe the member is cortana in disguise....

 

I'm not disagreeing in your point about being human. But when I search for threads I check the date before I post in it. If it's an old thread I would reply with something more relevant or not post at all.
