I loathe the cringy customer service lines some places require employees to say…

Like all the stupid rhymes at Raising Cane chicken, and so on. It’s so cringey and I’m so embarrassed for the employees having to say that shit that it makes me patronize a place like that less than I otherwise would.

Of course I get scripted customer service lines. “Hello, Acme anvil company. How may I direct your call.” But why do people need to make it weird? Is it just to humiliate the employees, or do some people actually like that shit?

Back to the board

- A tangential comment: I am loathe to pick up the phone to call anyone anymore, especially businesses, including health care providers. I just know it's going to be a hassle and I will get frustrated a few minutes in, so I almost always put it off.* - By Cap August 20, 2026 at 12:14:00 PM
