Please Do Not Press The Beeping Button

(I’m conducting a customer satisfaction survey over the phone.)

Me: “Using a scale from one to ten, how would you rate your cable service?”

(I hear a ‘beep’.)

Me: “I need to you actually say the number, not dial it on your phone.”

Customer: “Isn’t this automated?”

Me: “Well, I’m not a machine. Could you please say what number you would rate your cable service?”

Customer: “Eight.”

Me: “Great! And using the same scale, how would you rate your internet service?”

*beep*

Me: “I still need you to say the number.”

Customer: “Sorry, I got confused. Eight.”

Me: “Okay, and how would you rate your phone service?”

*beep*

(This went on for all thirty questions.)
