This Is Why We’re In A Recession, Part 114

I work for a credit card company.

Caller: “How do I lower my balance?”

Me: “I can take a payment over the phone, or you can do so via our app or website.”

Caller: “Oh, I have to do that?”

Me: “Do what?”

Caller: “Pay?”

Me: “Yes, to lower your balance, you have to pay into your account.”

Caller: “Oh, I don’t want to do that. How do I do it without paying?”

It was a long and terrifying call.
